Alan Hansen, the legendary ex-footballer and sports pundit,
has teamed up with Oxygen Games to create the ultimate game
to test your sporting knowledge...
In
Alan Hansen's Sports Challenge you must brave Alan
Hansen's dry wit as you put your sporting knowledge to the
ultimate test. Hansen, with his considerable expertise and
experience, is the natural choice to chair this sports-oriented
quiz which will see you proving to your friends that you are
either the king of sporting knowledge that you think you are,
or a sad pretender who doesn't know anything.
In
the game Hansen is rendered in 3D, which I assume was a lot
cheaper than actually filming him. This looks a little odd,
but is by far the least important part of the game.
Featuring
over 7000 questions, across all kinds of sports including
football, rugby and cricket, the game also allows each player
to personalise their icon on screen. There are a wide variety
of payer icons and buzzer sounds to choose from.
The
multiplayer option allows up to four people to play at the
same time which makes this the ideal party game for a group
of sports mad friends. But you can also play on your own.
Or
you can play the Runaround Mode. Here everyone gets to select
an answer and then you are given a short period of time in
which you can change your original answer. This is perfect
for tricking your friends if they think that you are the only
one likely to really know the right answer.
There
are plenty of interactive quiz DVDs out there on the market
but sadly most just don't measure up. However, bringing the
action to your console makes much more sense. Firstly there
are no compatibility issues (not all DVD payers manage to
play interactive DVDs successfully) and secondly there is
much more that can be done with the format on a console.
While
a few of the same questions had a habit of repeating themselves,
on the whole this was a pretty solid interactive quiz. Certainly
one to get in for when the lads come round.
