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
This thing's going to sell more just because of all the publicity it is getting from online blogs...
I am so fucking sick of this guy.
I'm sure he is sick of you too, if you don't want to hear his reviews don't watch them simple.
Good one. In that case, if you don't like my comment, don't read it/reply to it.
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.
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.
If you don't want them don't push the play button.
Oh BTW your pic makes you look like a gay emo kid.
I am so fucking sick of your avatar.
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.
Jealousy will get you nowhere, fellas.
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 :-)
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.
GEESSHH GET A LIFE YOU N00BLET!!!!
@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.
My apologies. I'll dress to better fit in with you guys from now on...

wow, crazy dancing at the end... Best part is when he opens the console to show the inside... gotta love it!
Agreed. This guy is hilarious.
lmao @ Billards: "Some form of crazy golf"
Doing something with buttons will make you sad...
LOL!!!!!
By far the funniest part of the review.
GREEN GRASS! FTW.
That part totally mystified me. Is there a reference to something I'm missing, or was that just an absurdist end to the video?
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?
Wow, I'm British, and that guy's accent annoyed me so much. No wonder Americans think we all speak like that..
Because, quite evidently, some of us do? :P
Consequence of being a northerner, no posh accents :D
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.
craptastic!!!
I'm British and I even think his accent makes him funnier.
He's incredibly awesome :D
Squirrel bobble=ripped off from bubble bobble
the two games look pretty much the same
No, really?
Brilliant observation, Watson.
lmao...give it a rest i only said it cuz dry british man didn't have a clue
And apparently his dry british sarcasm proved too much for you.
:-) touché!
"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.
I did...only that didn't help cuz I've only ever encountered bubble bobble, not this puzzle bobble so-called.
awesome! too funny!
Uh, wtf they took it down?
NM, I'm stupid.
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.
So what is with that "GBA" Cart? Will it work in a GBA? Can you play GBA games on the Vii?
this almost makes me wanna buy one. almost.
so basically, its a GBA SP crammed into a crappy case with some crappy motion control added on?
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.
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!
everyone just shut up about other people telling other people to shut up to shut up and also telling this guy to shut up!
just FYI, it's MA-JYONG
SAY IT RITE
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.
