Winter Olympics: Salt Lake City 2002 by Eidos Interactive

This game is basically a winter sports simulation game of the real winter olympics which will be taking place in salt lake city on the end of January. Unfortunately, not all events will be added in this Eidos interactive game. I predict only skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding and bobsleigh will only be added to this winter sports game. The good thing is that not only this game is out on Ps2 but PC and Gameboy Advanced as well. Salt Lake 2002 is basically a game were you can experience how challenging winter sports such as snowboarding really are. Besides this, the game makes you take part in the olympics just like those who really made it to the qualifications. The sad thing, I must add, is that Salt Lake 2002 is having only 16 teams in their list. Not too many countries I guess. The graphics is superb. Apart from that, the stunts you could do in any event is quite magnificent and hopefully, this game will be remarkable. Sadly, I must inform you that this game has a very limited time because infact, it will not last long as the salt lake itself will not last long at all. Hopefully, the game will still amaze these peoplle who really love winter events and who really like to particapate in them as well. Take my advice and get this game before it's out of stock!

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.

Losey game

Hey, I live in SLC and this game blows! The game play is verry poor. The scenery is not acurate at all. It looks nice and sounds great but this should not have the Olympic stamp on it.
If you want a good winter game, play ssx tricky!

Be Careful!

Don't buy this game without renting it first! I have only a few problems with this game. First is that its too complicated. It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to start the game. Second is that it takes too long to play. You start an event, it lasts 10 seconds, then you're waiting 5 minutes for it to load back to the main menu. The graphics are good, but the controls aren't specific enough. This is just some advice, maybe you will have a different opinion than mine. I'm just really glad that i rented it for 5 dollars, rather than buying it and not liking it for 50 dollars.

As in the words of a smart man...THIS GAME SUX

Ok, well...saw this one at the video store and said to myself...Hmm, looks good to me. So I decided to give it a go. I was in dismay as I looked at the number of events there were. Six...SIX EVENTS! To me this is simply not enough. What happened to the good ole days of many events on an olympic game that required you to do button taps until your fingers bled. I miss those days. But we are given this, hideous excuse for an Olympic Sim. Do yourself a favor and go get Dance Dance Revolution and do some actual physical exercise. And its fun too.

The WORST!

It just doesn't get any worse then this. It's not even worth the rental price and the idea of purchasing it is beyond all rational human comprehension.
Buyer BEWARE!

There is no way this could make the Olympic Team

This game is horrible. It only has six different events, and the graphics are not that good. the playability is not that good. it is extremely hard to control the board and skis in the alpine and slolom as well as the snowboarding event. the ski jump is very bad. don't buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I liked this game, I think people have been far too harsh reviewing it here. It's had decent magazine reviews (which is why I bought it) so I can only guess that there's some agenda there!

The graphics are ace and when you watch the real thing on TV you can really appreciate the effort that's gone into making it looks so realistic! It's fun to play with friends as well.

Anyway, buy the game yourself and see - you can always return it!
