    A fun game to play with a group of friends and a worthy contender to Wii Sports.

    Celebrity Sports Showdown is exactly what I loved about Deca Sports and then they fixed what I said was wrong in that review. Makes you think that your voice really does have an impact and if you just say what you really feel you can get the game that you want.

    A good collection of minigames everyone will enjoy. If you like to play together with friends, Celebrity Sports Showdown is definitely your game!

    However most of them need work--partially because they're not great fun to begin with, and partially because the controls aren't as solid as they should be. [Dec 2008, p.104]

    Wii Sports bowling alone is better than Celebrity Sports Showdown and 10 sequels. The game fails on all fronts, delivering a poorly executed selection of mini-games and 10 celebrities whose likenesses are carelessly brought to the screen void of color and commentary.

    This shatters the glass ceiling for ludicrous minigame compilations. [Jan 2009, p.70]

    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.

    Esse jogo marcou a minha infancia enquanto eu jogava no WII, altas horas se divertindo ou sozinho ou parentes da minha familia.
