Aggregate score Aggregator Score Metacritic 69/100[4]

Review scores Publication Score 4Players 70%[5] Famitsu 24/40[6] GameRevolution 8/10[7] IGN 7.6/10[8] Jeuxvideo.com 14/20[9] MeriStation 7.8/10[10] PlayStation Official Magazine – UK 6/10[11] Play 65%[12] PlayStation: The Official Magazine 7/10[13] Push Square [14] Common Sense Media [15] National Post 7/10[16]

The game received "average" reviews according to the [review aggregation](/source/Review_aggregator) website [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic).[4] In Japan, where the game was released on November 29, 2012,[17] *[Famitsu](/source/Famitsu)* gave it a score of one seven, one six, one five, and one six for a total of 24 out of 40.[6]

Chad Sapieha of *[Common Sense Media](/source/Common_Sense_Media)* gave the game four stars out of five, saying, "If the sequel adds a bit of panache while maintaining spot-on controls, Sony may have the motion-controlled sports compilation game to beat."[15] However, in *[National Post](/source/National_Post)* he gave it seven out of ten, saying, "Like its predecessor, *Sports Champions 2* is a showcase for PlayStation Move technology. But without a style to call its own, it's not likely to leave a lasting impression."[16] *[Metro](/source/Metro_(British_newspaper))* gave it five out of ten, calling it "A wasted opportunity to redeem PlayStation Move, with a horribly uninspired range of sports that barely work any better than back when they were *Wii Sports* games."[18]
