Beijing Olympics 2008 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First thing I will say to you, have you've ever played Track and Field at the arcade in the 80's or the Xbox Live arcade version? Do you remember mashing those buttons to make the player go fast to get the best times? Well this game is going to bring back those memories again.
This game does have 38 events and most of these events are hard to do and to master. So don't think you'll going to blow the competition like it's nothing.

Controls:
I have to say my arm got so tired after I was done playing this game. But I will say it all great fun. Some events on this game the control can be too intense and too hard to master but that beauty of this game, it's not easy to do. Putting a challenge to me is which make this game worth the money.

Graphic:
The graphic in game is not too bad, but enough to say that this game is a next gen game for the Xbox 360. I feel some areas they could of added to make it better like having the player sweating while doing the events, or even tears when they win the gold medal. Little things like that could of been nice, but I guess you can't have it all.

Online mode:
The online mode on the 360 is good. A few lagging while playing the game but I'm sure they'll have that fix on a patch soon. As far as finding someone to play against with there is no problems in this area.

Overall:
The game play is good but some issues on this game that could of made the game better. Such as:
1. They should of have it where we can customize our own player rather than selecting their player models they have.
2. Have commentator talk more during the event and have the crowd cheering more to make that game more alive.
3. On the table tennis event they should of change the viewpoint so it easier for us to see the ball to hit.

Final Thoughts:
This game did bring back memories from the old track and field game. Some
things on this game that could of made it better, but I won't complain. I find this game fun, hard and plenty of events to choose from to keep busy and to break records. I definitely recommend this game to anyone that love button mashing games or the track and field game in the 80's. But first I do recommend you to download the free trial of Track and Field on Xbox Live Arcade to get the feel of what Beijing 2008 will have to offer but more.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
