The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4] In Japan, where the game was released on November 29, 2012,[17] 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 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 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 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]
