5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!   July 4, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

What a beautifully put together game. The graphics are excellent - the athletes congratulating each other after you achieve a great time or jump a fair distance is a wonderful touch. Things are a little tougher this time around but this will make it far more of a challenge (and I'm still enjoying the athletics - haven't tried the other sports yet!). This game captures the spirit of the olympics and for me is the best olympics game to date. Well done SEGA!


5 out of 5 stars awesome !!   July 1, 2008
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

wow i was a bit hesistant at getting this game but i plunged in and got it !

i must say i am impressed the graphics are stunning and the gameplay awesome

yes the controls are hard but its soo much fun

i played for 12 hours straight and i couldnt move my arms the next day i can't play at the minute because my arms are so tired !!!

it takes so much effort when you do all the 32 events in a row online with other xbox live people

be prepared to sweat , burn and ache if you buy this game

but it's all worth it when you smash those records :)



5 out of 5 stars This is actually quite good   July 11, 2008
Great game, loads of events (38) and plenty to do. Sooo glad they included waggling the joypads as an alternative to button bashing, as i found this easier. found loads of people online aswell.

Liked Track n Field, then get this game.



5 out of 5 stars If you love the olympics this is for you!   September 17, 2008
If you love the olympics which i do this is for you i play this non stop and i love the challenge of winning the medals. the graphics are great but the only thing i dislike of the game is the athletes are'nt real so like theres no micheal phelps in swimming or an ussain bolt its just random characters but the gameplay just makes me forget about it.


4 out of 5 stars Track & Field for a new generation of gamers   June 28, 2008

This is great fun - not much has changed control wise since Track & Field in the 80's but the graphics really capture the atmosphere of the Olympic games . Single player is fun enough but it's the multiplayer locally or over XBox Live really makes this shine .
