better than the summer olympics game
 
Review Date: January 18, 2010
Reviewer: Lisa A. Heath, United States
This is a fun game. A few sports are difficult to get the hang of; like bobsledding. But, overall-it's fun. Great graphics. Not too difficult.If you bought the summer olympics game, the controls are easier to master & not as frustrating.
Not a single redeeming aspect to this game

Total 100% miss with this game. They state there are 14 events, but really that is hardly true, there is downhill skiing/snowboarding (lumped into one since the snowboarding is virtually identical to the skiing....really), Toboggan/luge/skeleton(again all one in the same on this game), Ski long jump (basically wait 12 seconds for the load time and then compete for about 10 seconds), speed skating(actually the only decently thought out and executed event). That is it...4 events really. You begin by being able to select your country, but it makes no difference who you choose. What they should have done is include a lot more events, and made all the countries a little different in the proficiences in each event and then had you compete in each type of event. Not at all what they did, you simply pick the event you want to compete in, and try to place. There is no record keeping of cumulative medals won vs other countries, no 'Medal Standings' nothing. This is nothing more than a 800 MS Point Arcade game (a rather forgettable one at that), that got a full retail release. Shameless.
One last thing, the online vs is OK. The 2 games I played online both filled up quickly (no idea how....who is buying this junk??) and there were no lag issues or anything like that. Remember of course that you only get to play one event online though...no 'Medal Standings' after several events, just one go through of one of the 4 events and their identical events with different names.
Stay away from this game!

Reviewer: Matthew Newman,
This game is horrible. It only has 14 events and many of them are near replicas of each other. The game will provide you about a half hour of enjoyment because the events are identical and poorly constructed. If this was a $10 xbox arcade purchase I would rate this game a 2.5/5 but as it stands as a $49 title it is a piece of junk. If you need an olympic game fix pickup the last summer olympic one for the 360; at least that will give you a few hours of enjoyment.
