Bottom Line

"Games based on the Olympics have always been pretty weak, but this time I've finally snapped. Would you buy a football game if it had none of the real players in it? Or didn't offer all the teams (read: countries)? And here's something that whoever makes London 2012 should dwell hard upon: are the majority of people who would play a game based on the Olympics more casual gamers, or hardcore? In Beijing 2008, the controls are very awkward, you are given a tiny window to use them even on the easiest setting, and they don't respond too well, no matter how hard you pound them. Nice graphics and 36 events don't mean a thing if there's just no fun to be had."
