Fun:
I bought this game for my son and it is fair to say he loved it and so did his dad. The whole winter olympics on your T.V. Ski jumping, speed skating, bobsleigh, skeleton, the list goes on and on. It's great fun, really! And for the price..! What Value. Don't be put off by bad reviews, honestly.

Fun:
Firstly, if you have the Wii, I prefer that version but if you don't the PS2 version isn't that bad. We've been sorely lacking a decent winter games game for the PS2 and this does a better job than Torino 2006. You've got most of the downhill skiing which is quite tricky to master, a Simon Says style game for figure skating, Curling which is good two player fun, and the Bob-sleigh style events which are fast and precise. The speed skating is a timing game and not a button mash (there's no button mashing really in this game).
It's not great but the commentary is quite funny, the controls are simple and the gameplay is as good as the next Olympic styled game so if you like those but wish for less button mashing, this is a good bet.

As yet I have been unable to get a decent jump with the Ski Jump game, the Bob-sleigh,Luge and Skeleton games are very good
