Fun:
I had downloaded the demo, and thought that the first person mode was very interesting but didn't realy know what to expect from the full game. I fancied something a bit differernt from you shooters and racers that I've bought in recent months so thought I'd give this a try
Tell you what, Its been a long time since I had one of those. "OH MY GOD IS THAT REALLY THE TIME, HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN PLAYING THIS" moments.
It is SOoooo addictive, although there are only 14 events to play, they are all fairly differernt events. Very little button bashing in this one. The simplicity of the menu is excellent. No messing about with irrelevent stuff, you dive straight into the events have a bit practice, and then do either the challenges , take part in events to try and earn single player golds or go online and take part in 4 player events against your friends.
The challenges, of which there are about 30 start off pretty easy then get progessively harder. You hane to do things like snowboarding down a course with your controlls reversed so when you push keft the guy go right, or go down a run trying to avoid snowmen on the race line and still beat the alloted time. You'll spend many hours on these believe me.
Online though is really where the fun begins, if you get two or three mates in a room with your comms on, and set up a multi event mini games its brilliant. If you cant find people on your FL to play, just jump into a random room and you'll soon make some new ones.
Really enjoying the first person view, its amazing, and really does feel as if you are skiing, jumping of plumetting down the bobsleigh run. If you have a rumble pad its even more realistic.
At the reduced price, you'd be daft not to buy this amazing game.

Fun:
This game has fantastic game play and graphics in the game but there is not enough events .I thought they would have more events then the previous game which was torino which had 15 events this has 14 I would have added the biathlon ,ice hockey,Half pipe and curling.In the events I would have had more competitors in each event because there is only 4.which means there is about 5 seconds between gold and silver.Which ruins the excitement in a event.It should have had more variation in the country choice or you could personalise the character and it would be better with comentry instead of the songs .They should have made the olympic games like the summer version did it with an opening ceremony and qualifications for each event

Fun:
I must admit that I am somewhat surprised reading some of the reviews that people have left for this game. If you are expecting the stunning visuals of MGS4 or Uncharted 2 then you are obviously going to be disappointed. However, if like me you have fond memories of the old classic button bashing days of International Track & Field, Barcelona Olympics games and the like you will love this.
Essentially this game is meant to be something that you can pick up and play against your friends for a quick game and it doesn't fail. You want a fun competitive spirit - check. You want to try and break your own record - check. You want to go hurtling down a ski slope with perfect technique only to fall at the last hurdle - check. This game is for the competitive kid in all of us.
It appeals to all ages and is great when you have the family or friends around. You don't need to be an expert at computer games and this is what I like about it - it is almost Wii like in some respects and is certainly fun.
In summary if you want to dedicate days and days to a game and like detailed stories this is not for you. If you want to have fun, try and thrash your mates for a little pride or play online and represent your country then this is the game for you.
I would heartily recommend this game to anybody looking for a bit of fun and a game that is quick and easy to pick up. 10/10.

It's better than Winter Sports, but lacks some sports...
This game, to sum it up, is very good. For me, it captures the feel of the Winter Olympics, and the disciplines are realistic and challenging. But. Read more

Poor Effort to capture the feel of the real Winter Olympics
I am struggling to recall an Olympic Games title I've enjoyed playing for more than a few hours. They are usually a collection of button mashing, D-Pad jiggling, and finger-aching... Read more
