Yeah this one of my fav games !! it's something playing online , I can't wait for the next summer olympic game cause they're so much fun swimming , racing an much more
I certainly hope that London 2012 features ALL events, it can be done, even the long bike runs and marathons (Using a strategy for each section kind of thing, like, run fast here, stady there) And if you get EA to do it so they can have a downgraded FIFA engine for the football, would be great
this game hs most of the events except, volleyball, baseball, baSKETBALL and soccer if it id hve those it would be awesome because then it would be like a nba 2k game
In my opinion people are way to harsh on this game. Gamespot gave it three which i think is total bullshit (Gamespot really sucks now, but thats another story). The controls seem to be what people are most angry about but i think that thats the obly way you can really do it. Someone name a better way, that maintains the difficulty but doesnt mean button mashing
The PS2 we not be getting Beijing 2008 but it will see the up and coming Summer Athletics game when its released on all formats on 15th of August this year.
please tell me they have mens basketball i would love to play against the euro teams and china and stuff with the Redeem Team they aren't the dream team of 92 they crushed everyone
it is all about the start on the 100 metres the start is even more important as you don't have time to catch up but you just have to button bash like mad while running and keep up the pace and you will be winning gold in no time.
i had that problem (i suckeeeed at all of the sprints, now i get world records, 1st places, fast time ect.. basically to run fast u dnt let ur fingers do the work... u put ur fingers on the butons nd shake the controller, that way the buttons are being pressed far faster!!! i hope this helps :)
Everyone says it's too hard but isnt being an athlete hard ? After 2 Nights (and sore thumbs)i already have 180 gamerscore out of it. Jimski9 , buy it you will master it after a while - it just has a steep learning curve.
No I was hoping for this but no athletes can be created however you can choose which athlete you want for each event by choosing from a large number of models in the game.
no they start off like any other race, then you have the usual lane change that the heart style bar to show how much energy you have left then it is just a case of occasionally tapping the buttons to keep the lead.
The graphics are good I cant deny that however for a next gen game, when you play the title the is an great amount of clipping and it is very basic, nice but not true Next Gen.
lol, yeah sorry about that usually the podcasts are done either in my study which is where I play the game but I was away when I recorded this one and could not get the cat away, who knows a namelessgaming CAT review lol. Sorry again hope yo enjoyed the review anyway.
