    olympics games always get poor receptions. If you want a good button masher, rotater, waggler then it wil be right up your street. Its considerably better than mario and sonic at the olympics but will sell about 5% of that

    Re: beijing olympics

    So tell me: what do you do on it? Tell girls that some of them are too ugly and that some of them can't sing? Make CGI fireworks?

    Of course the graphics are good... they had a live warmup a week or so back.

    I think that will determine just how many of them DON'T sell as much as any other factor.

    Re: beijing olympics

    It's out on PC too yes - see Steam. It's apparently utter rubbish according to the reviews, but it'll sell well regardless.

    Re: beijing olympics

    Some of the reviews seem to have been a bit harsh on this effort.

    (Imho there's a fair review here: http://www.itreviews.co.uk/games/g476.htm - as other posters have commented, it's a fun enough game with friends, just that some of the events are better than others...)

    I think "Olympic Gold" on the Sega Megadrive was the peak of this genre, and probably where it should have died. But that's just me, I can't really criticise diversity in the PC gaming market!
