Fields, competition and realistic thrills: the sports game recreates the passion of the stadium, from football to basketball. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"PES 3 marks a real leap forward. Realistic ball touch, transformed animations and sharper AI. The duel with FIFA tilts decisively, and the series enters its golden age."
"A Camelot golf game, exemplary in its arcade-simulation balance. The shot-timing mechanic is precise and demanding right from the off, while the Mario cast adds whimsy without breaking the sport's integrity. The courses are varied and the replay value enormous. An essential reference of the genre."
"NBA 2K11 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. Playable Michael Jordan, iconic Legend mode. Best NBA 2K PS3 for many. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain remains a PS2 wrestling peak. Snappy combat, brutal animations and an addictive career mode. An absolute reference for the era."
"Kunio-kun football version on Famicom. Insane matches with explosive tackles and special shots. Fun co-op, sharp humor. The Nekketsu formula applied to football with the same joy."
"The best entry in the Skate series, featuring an addictive physics engine and well-designed cooperative modes. Deep customization and a rich open world make it essential for any skateboarding fan on PS3."
"SSX on Tour tries a skate-rock turn and adds skis. Indie rock vibe, slightly stiffer mechanics and uneven content. Less wild than its predecessors, but still a pleasant ride."
"WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth kicks off THQ's modern formula. Huge roster, polished ring atmosphere and a fun season mode. A key step in the PS2 line."
