19 09 2010


For quite a long time sport enthusiasts have been waiting for a Playstation 3 shooting game to be created for them. Nintendo Wii has Wii Sports, but now PS3 has Sports Champions. Sports Champions offers 6 wonderfully recreated sports: Disc Golf, Bocce, Archery, Gladiator Duel, Beach Volleyball, and Table Tennis. Each game will take you to new heights in sports console gaming.

The impressive gameplay and amazing move control scheme in Archery have definitely marked a milestone in the field of sports gaming. Archery has proven its worth to a horde of fans of the simple bow and arrow, which was popular during the DOS era. It can definitely compete with the high definition and powerful gameplay of Wii Sports. There are a variety of techniques that a player needs to master, in order to play Archery. And when you master it, you can take a snapshot of your accomplishments by publishing your medal photo in various social media sites. Thus you can share the achievements with your friends in order to show them how good archer you are.

The game control is very close to the real archery. You have to use two move controllers in order to hold the bow and arrow in place. You then have to focus and aim at the right target. With the game requiring perfect timing, you can’t just fire the arrows because you will end up missing the target. You need to carefully concentrate to hit the bull’s eye. The arrows are fired by releasing the trigger allowing you to feel it as if it’s real. It is like you are on the field and you are on a real archery range.

There are different game options that you can choose from too. You can play tic-tac-toe archery, target range, or a shooting gallery with fruits and money.

If you have a knack in playing archery and you love shooting games, this game is the right pick for you, so consider putting it into your watch list.
