Anyone else getting this? I just got it and I am at work right now. What does every one think of it if you have it?

It's on my list of must-buys for me. I can't wait to get my hands on it and try it out.

What do you think of it?... likes/dislikes? I want to pick it up also, just want an honest opinion of it. oh and is it online?

They need it out before the olympics b/c once the olympics are over so are their sales.

I would also like to pick this up, but it may be only a rental for me unless the swimming portion is really good.

jadafa · 07-29-2008, 09:16 PM

The game is pretty hard...lol....I'm trying it out and I can barely pass the qualifiers....lol...maybe it's my age....

TheTenth · 07-29-2008, 10:07 PM

what's the gameplay like? button mashing, timing?

It's fun! I have played only a few events. Some events are really hard and some are hard at first then should be easier the more you play. The rapid fire pistol is really cool. Swimming is easy but difficult. track and field is smash the buttons as fast as you can. All in all the game is fun..IMO Have not played online yet, I am scared..lol reflexes are not as good as I thought..lol

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.

PeterPopANut · 07-30-2008, 07:35 PM

lol i think he means online... well i hope so at least!

Proteus · 07-30-2008, 10:35 PM

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.
