Best Olympics game ever

By a customer , 13 Jun 2013

This is by far the best Olympics game I've seen. Better than Mario & Sonic at the Olympics even! Changed the sprints so it isn't a case of who can break their buttons the quickest/hardest, it is more a case of skill and rhythm. And all these extra events! Love the variety, was a bit disappointed that certain events weren't on but I can deal with that.

Brilliant Game

By jennie76 (5 reviews) , 28 May 2013

I really don't understand why this game is getting bad reviews. I find this Olympics game is so much better than the rest. It is easy on the controls which for me and hand problems I can play with no problems unlike the other Olympics game before it. I love the challenges in events section. Just give this game a try you might find you will like it. The graphics are good and if you have a 3d t. v it's even better.
