"Sport" Vii 2 gets a nice, dry video review

That's right folks, it's the long awaited Dry British Guy (of Polystation 3 and POP Station fame) review of the Sport Vii (aka the Vii 2) -- the video game console of your nightmares. When a product is as anticipated as this, you expect a little disappointment here or there, and the KenSingTon Vii 2 doesn't fail to deliver... er, on failing that is. Watch in horror as you're taken through the bizarre knock-off world that is the Sport Vii software suite, including a wide variety of games involving horribly mutated-looking rabbits. Watch the video after the break and get all the facts -- our suggestion is that you hang on till the very end for an exciting twist.

i know where im going birthday shopping

[Dragod @ Feb 7th 2008 6:31PM]

This thing's going to sell more just because of all the publicity it is getting from online blogs...

[Chebwa @ Feb 7th 2008 6:35PM]

I am so fucking sick of this guy.

[Cam @ Feb 7th 2008 6:36PM]

I'm sure he is sick of you too, if you don't want to hear his reviews don't watch them simple.

[Chebwa @ Feb 7th 2008 6:39PM]

Good one. In that case, if you don't like my comment, don't read it/reply to it.

[Kieran @ Feb 7th 2008 6:44PM]

If you don't like this article, then don't read or comment on it. Same for the video, no one forced you to watch it.

[Chebwa @ Feb 7th 2008 6:48PM]

Oh yeah, you know, you guys are right. Nobody should comment on shit they don't like. Only positive comments allowed here at Engadget from now on!

That should bring the Microsoft articles down to about 3 comments a piece.

[Jack @ Feb 7th 2008 7:13PM]

If you don't want them don't push the play button.

Oh BTW your pic makes you look like a gay emo kid.

[SUPER DESU @ Feb 7th 2008 7:39PM]

I am so fucking sick of your avatar.

[jonouk @ Feb 7th 2008 8:03PM]

I've been meaning to reply to a lot of your comments for a long time but never really could be arsed as a it appears you are a troll. Today i can't hold back so now I can summarise to you my impression of you from all of your replys.

You are a complete fucking cock. Good day sir.

[Chebwa @ Feb 7th 2008 8:10PM]

Jealousy will get you nowhere, fellas.

[Zak @ Feb 7th 2008 8:13PM]

How can you be sick of this guy! If it wasn't for this review I might have bought a Vii by mistake instead of a Wii.

As for only positive comments v's negative? Who cares as long as its constructive and well said.

I thought the review was awesome. That man has way too much free time on his hands.

I will be in Beijing next week and guess what I am going to buy :-)

[Ethan @ Feb 7th 2008 9:09PM]

Something that doesn't contribute will get downvoted. Although "This is endlessly brilliant" might get a less passionate response, people would still think it had no purpose in being voiced.

[mattwier @ Feb 7th 2008 9:28PM]

GEESSHH GET A LIFE YOU N00BLET!!!!

[Sam Winter @ Feb 8th 2008 4:53AM]

@Jack

He is a gay emo kid.. haven't you seen his other Avatar pics. I would be embarrassed. I hope he's like 16 or younger.

[Chebwa @ Feb 8th 2008 12:51PM]

My apologies. I'll dress to better fit in with you guys from now on...

[Matt Smith @ Feb 7th 2008 6:42PM]

wow, crazy dancing at the end... Best part is when he opens the console to show the inside... gotta love it!

[JAmerican @ Feb 7th 2008 7:37PM]

Agreed. This guy is hilarious.

[waiownsyou @ Feb 7th 2008 6:47PM]

lmao @ Billards: "Some form of crazy golf"

[Luigi193 @ Feb 7th 2008 7:03PM]

Doing something with buttons will make you sad...


LOL!!!!!

[Reader @ Feb 7th 2008 10:26PM]

By far the funniest part of the review.

[MrTwist @ Feb 7th 2008 7:09PM]

GREEN GRASS! FTW.

[Tommy Crashwreck @ Feb 7th 2008 7:30PM]

That part totally mystified me. Is there a reference to something I'm missing, or was that just an absurdist end to the video?

[jonouk @ Feb 7th 2008 7:59PM]

Greengrass is a character (?) from a crappy British soap called Heartbeat. Its about a village and is centralised around a Copper. Greengrass is the village idiot/drunk, i think. I have no idea why its in here. Maybe the actor is dead/retired?

[r3loaded @ Feb 7th 2008 7:22PM]

Wow, I'm British, and that guy's accent annoyed me so much. No wonder Americans think we all speak like that..

[Blaktornado @ Feb 7th 2008 7:26PM]

Because, quite evidently, some of us do? :P

[r3loaded @ Feb 7th 2008 7:29PM]

Consequence of being a northerner, no posh accents :D

[mattclarkie @ Feb 8th 2008 7:40AM]

I am from as South as you can get Kent, and I definately do talk like that guy, in fact I think he speaks proper because I don't notice an accent.

[Sime @ Feb 7th 2008 7:25PM]

craptastic!!!

[Blaktornado @ Feb 7th 2008 7:25PM]

I'm British and I even think his accent makes him funnier.

He's incredibly awesome :D

[ben @ Feb 7th 2008 7:33PM]

Squirrel bobble=ripped off from bubble bobble

the two games look pretty much the same

[Zorque @ Feb 7th 2008 8:11PM]

No, really?

[o29 @ Feb 7th 2008 8:12PM]

Brilliant observation, Watson.

[ben @ Feb 7th 2008 10:01PM]

lmao...give it a rest i only said it cuz dry british man didn't have a clue

[o29 @ Feb 7th 2008 10:19PM]

And apparently his dry british sarcasm proved too much for you.

[ben @ Feb 7th 2008 11:03PM]

:-) touché!

[ZekeSulastin @ Feb 7th 2008 11:31PM]

"Puuuuzzle Bobble! Puzzle Bobble! Puzzle Bobble!
Puuuuzzle Bobble! Puzzle Bobble Bust-A-Move!"

You should go watch his extras tape reviewing the VC-1 games.

[ben @ Feb 7th 2008 11:34PM]

I did...only that didn't help cuz I've only ever encountered bubble bobble, not this puzzle bobble so-called.

[Isaac @ Feb 7th 2008 7:54PM]

Uh, wtf they took it down?

[Isaac @ Feb 7th 2008 7:55PM]

NM, I'm stupid.

[thatguy @ Feb 7th 2008 8:21PM]

I gave my friends and family a Vii 2, Polysatation, ifone, and i-bob nano last Christmas. Sure they all think im a cheap bastard, but the look on their face was priceless.

[TavisJohn @ Feb 7th 2008 8:25PM]

So what is with that "GBA" Cart? Will it work in a GBA? Can you play GBA games on the Vii?

[Alex Padilla @ Feb 7th 2008 8:51PM]

this almost makes me wanna buy one. almost.

[jon @ Feb 7th 2008 10:30PM]

so basically, its a GBA SP crammed into a crappy case with some crappy motion control added on?

[Grump @ Feb 7th 2008 10:32PM]

Why can't you call "dry British guy" by his name, "Dr. Ashen". He didn't spend 8 years in dry medical school to be called "dry British guy", thank you very much.

[Karl @ Feb 7th 2008 11:03PM]

jesus christ half the posts on all of the Weblogs, Inc. sites (Engadget and TUAW seem to be the worst...) are bitching about the story, and the other half are bitching about how the person didn't have to come there to waste their time bitching.

I love reading comments to find others' opinions, not to see who can out-stupid each other. Shut up and comment on the story. I've gone and broken my own rule now!

[Mark @ Feb 7th 2008 11:37PM]

everyone just shut up about other people telling other people to shut up to shut up and also telling this guy to shut up!

[matthew @ Feb 7th 2008 11:58PM]

just FYI, it's MA-JYONG

SAY IT RITE

[Garst @ Feb 8th 2008 12:14AM]

Does anyone think someone took one of those GBA players for the GameCube, and added the tilt sensor in some Gameboy games. Someone should either try putting the game in a GBA or playing a GBA game in the Vii. I wouldn't be surprized if it worked.

[Tom @ Feb 8th 2008 1:45AM]

awesome! too funny!
