AceGamez: " Usually, competition between celebrities involves who has the heaviest item of jewellery, who won the most awards, who has been shot the most (at least for the gangster rapper genre), and who got so drunk that they threw up in a cab and then lamped a photographer on their way into their luxury Los Angeles home. Well, not any more, because EA Sports has taken some of our most loved stars and put them into the Nintendo Wii Party Game arena. Quite why I am not sure, but if you're looking to take control of random celebrities in a variety of equally random events then this might just be the best twenty quid you've ever spent."
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.
