Thunderbolt: "You can pick this game up for a seemingly measly £17.99 if you try hard enough. But with that money you could, I don't know – buy two really good films. You could buy a couple of videogame magazines and read about the titles that are actually good, as opposed to playing the one that isn't. With £17.99, you could buy a bucket of paint, throw it all over your bedroom walls and watch it dry. For a game packed with so many so-called 'celebrities,' Celebrity Sports Showdown is a big non-event."
Console Obsession:
"Awful concept aside, Celebrity Sports Showdown isn't a bad game to spend a few hours with from time to time. The growing casual market could find that there's plenty to enjoy here, but it's hardly going to appease core gamers who have a diet of more substantial offerings. So as a part of the latter group it's a six, but if you're one of the former, perhaps add two points to the overall score. So a solid six it is from me then."
Pick up and play party games, seem to dominate the Wii. So with such a wide selection available you would think games companies would put extra effort into theirs to make it stand out.
This 'game' might have some value to those who enjoy seeing a Mii-Fergie playing watersports, masochists or the aforementioned menu fans. If you enjoy life, avoid it like the plague.
