Dammit, IT ATE MY POST! What I was trying to say was:
Having played both Sports Champions and Start the Party, I'd honestly reverse the scores. While neither game is really stellar in my opinion, at least Start the Party tries some wacky new stuff, like the augmented reality haircuts and flyswatting and such.
Sports Champions is a game without a single original idea, and I don't know why so many people are defending it. They took apart Wii Sports piece by piece, replaced each piece with something else, and then rebuilt Wii Sports with all the new pieces. So it's basically Wii Sports, in HD, with the Move, but without Nintendo's polish, presentation, or personality, and without Miis. Now you get a random guy with an afro instead of your own avatars of Jack Black, Robocop, Chewbacca, and Hitler.
But now it's getting reviews better than Deca Sports or Carnival Games. I guess it's riding the hype of the new controller? Do all reviewers have to pick one Move game and one Kinect game to pretend they're in love with?
