...I have more fun playing the '98 Winter Games on N64 than this. Limited things you can do. The 6 events get boring after a while...

I received this game as a Christmas gift and having never heard of it, was pretty excited to check it out. However, after around 30 minutes of frustration, I just couldn't take it any more. Most of the reviews on this game pretty much sum up why this is so bad but there are a few things that stand out most to me, such as: The pathetically small number of events, the dead unrealistic feel, and the painfully long process of re-trying or switching an event... ugh!

Worst Game Ever for PlayStation I or II

This game is a big [price]joke.
EIDOS was desparate to get this out before the Olympics.

I hope that they realize what a huge mistake they have made and offer free trade-ins when Salt Lake 2005 is released and all of the buttons work the way they should.

This game should be ranked in the negative stars. It does not deserve even the 1 star minimum rating.

It just is not good.

The guy that ranked this 4 stars must work for EDIOS.

I also cannot get my money back. Rent this game first and you will be embarrsed that you spent the money to rent it. You will be asking Blockbuster for your money back.

People should be harsh for $49 of nothing. I am speaking for 99.9% of the gaming population folks. This game is crap.

Nice Try

Salt Lake 2002 is not a bad game, but it isn't good either. The graphics are excellent, but some of the events are bad. Bobsleigh, and skiing aren't bad but the others are. You dont stay into it for long. I liked it for a while, but it gets boring.

This game stinks on water

I absoloutely hate this game into the ground. I jumped on it when I first played it. I refunded it straight away but they said they couldn't because it was too damaged. So now its sitting in the oven and I'm going to get rid of my ps2.

Personaly i think this game had good graphics and was pretty fun....for 4 days! The worst thing about this game is the selection....6 events! ooooooo ill never get them all done! When i rented this game i had an idea that maybe it would be like a good Nagano '98 (witch had extreams amounts of events but each [was bad]) Another problem is the loading. If you do Ski Jump olympic mode you load for about 60 seconds then do the game for 2 min. then load another 60 seconds to get back to the menu. Its not really much fun. Also and last but not least the commintary drags on and on but at least you can shut that off.... i didnt give this 1 star because for what it did have it was pretty good but comeon guys its time to make a good olympic games and stop making these jokes.

Graphics are excellent and it is fun to play, but WHY ONLY SIX EVENTS?! WHERE IS THE SPEED SKATING?! Play control is difficult and not very intuitive. If you are an Olympics enthusiast as I am, it is probably worth buying. Otherwise, I suggest you pass this video game up. The 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics deserve better than this.

Note: I purchased this game for my P2 in the vain hope it was superior to the PC version. It was virtually the same. Therefore, the review is the same.

The best game ever

Okay, so when you first load it up, the graphics are pretty cool, but that is where the fun stops. Most of the sports will put you to sleep. The commentary is lame, and the game is kind of bugged up with graphic errors. There is absolutely no challenge in many of the games, where it will reset you right in front of the goal if you miss. Unless you just want the pretty box for a shelf icon, I would highly recommend that you DO NOT buy this game.
