Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Jeff Gerstmann on Aug. 7, 2008
MTV has the world exclusive on a hot new game coming to the Wii from Electronic Arts this holiday season!
It's Celebrity Sports Showdown, a Wii Sports-like minigame compilation from the team that brought you EA Playground. It's got all your favorite sports, like curling!
...?
It'll also have some skiing, a little badminton, dodgeball, volleyball, and more. Here's the video:
...oh yeah, the catch is that it's full of totally awesome celebrities that everyone who owns a Wii obviously loves, like Fergie (THE DUTCHESS!!!!!!), LeAnn Rimes (NOT THE DUTCHESS!!!!!!), Nelly Furtado, Keith Urban, Sugar Ray Leonard, and more.
The sad part is that the volleyball actually looks pretty good. Too bad it got weighed down with a bunch of dopey "names" that ensure that I'll never ever feel good about playing it, but then, I'm hardly the target audience for weird stuff like this, right? If I was, this game would have Ice Cube, Edward Norton, and Sid Meier in it instead.
Go read MTV's story for the actual full story, instead of me just riling myself up by thinking about how awesome a volleyball game starring Sid Meier would be.
(NOTE: Like all other videos on MTV.com, apparently this is only viewable from inside the US.)

Hey Jeff, I don't know if it is because I am not from the USA or what, but it says Video Not Accessible? So I'm guessing it's because I'm Canadian. : | Is there a video viewable from youtube? or could you upload it elsewhere. Thanks in advance.
Wow. And here I was thinking I'd have only Animal Crossing this holiday season...
Show me the celebrity curb stomping mini game, and I'll be all over it.
I don't get it. Developers can make interesting fun games for the Wii (No More Heroes, Boom Blox and the up coming Mushroom Men), but so many still put out shit like this.
That sounds really bad, I'd be ashamed to be part of the team that puts that together, and what's up with MTV videos being accessible only in the U.S?
Just when I thought EA was cool they throw it all away with stupid celebrity sport games.
is this a joke?! also i'm from europe and unfortunately i can watch the video ;)

volleyball actually looked decent. I still wouldn't touch this game with a 10 foot pole, though.

The volleyball and skiing look pretty decent if they didn't have those celebrities.

OK, reality check time. Can anyone tell me if any of this is actually happening? I've got a loose grip on reality after hearing about this upcoming 2D digitized fighting game.
