try it out

[Highly rated reviewer]

People are giving this Game bad reviews? I think its a good game. I recommend trying this out. Really good online with friends. Single player is a little boring. also compared to international track and field which involved bashing buttons as fast as you can, this game is all about precision and sequence of buttons. Building up speed, pacing yourself or timing jumps etc depending on the event. Every event involves different buttons, not the same buttons as it is in international track and field.

Not bad but not great.

By ArterialSpray (1 review) , 27 Nov 2012

Not bad just doesn't feel all that deep, just goes from one event to the next with nothing much inbetween. Good for a few days but no longevity.

Do not rent/buy!

By a customer , 11 Nov 2012

Do not waste your time with this game. The graphics are below par, the game play is fun for about 15 minutes and most of the events in the Olympics aren't even on the game anyway. Biggest disappointment ever!
