both...but the hard point for me is to rotate the analogue sticks together (left one going clockwise and right one going counterclockwise) and then press the other buttons....I feel like I need 4 hands playing this game.

the point of the olympics is to be at least in the top 3 so you get a medal, 50th gets you nothing.

thanks for failing, try a little harder, come back soon.

I haven't picked this up and probably won't... But, I have to say I may if it bargain bins after the Olympics. It sounds like a HD version of that old Atari classic (or was it Colecovision? Had them all so can't keep track lol) 'Track and Field'. That game was all mash and rotate but we all played it to death.

Add me so we can have a go online...

I remember the original track and field.

Any of us who had that...still have the mojo.

I have never met a videogamer who can register as many button pushes as someone who had track and field as a kid and was good at it.

ClaytonMG · 08-24-2008, 05:01 PM

Is there a multiplayer mode for this game? The only place that lists how many players are allowed is Gamestop and it says 1 but then on another site they say the multiplayer mode is the only way to go. Anyone?

hardcore_canadian · 08-24-2008, 09:39 PM

2 Player on console, and online play
