    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 is a collection of mini games where EA has focused on ten celebrities instead of the actual gameplay, and it shows. A total of twelve mini games grow dreary after only one run and not even a gathering of friends is enough make this game passable. Back to the drawing board EA.

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

    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]

    Celebrity Sports Showdown is not the worst game on the Wii, but its not a long way off. Only the SouthPeak Interactive crime against humanity Pool Party stands out as much worse than this, but by a lot narrower margin than any game should.

    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.
