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.

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.

Salt Lake 2002

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!

Really really bad....

This is quite possibly the worst game I have ever played on the PS2, or for almost any system for that matter. I'd rather bring out my Super Nintendo and play that instead of this boring piece of .... The graphics are bad, the sound [stinks], the gameplay's slow as ..., and to top it all off there are only 6 events, which are all equally terrible. I mean 6 events in a Winter Olympics game?? Give me a break this is an 128 bit system here. It's tolerable.. and I mean barely tolerable.. for about 15 minutes before I want to throw the pretty case in the garbage. I think it is safe to say that I am now dumber after playing this game. I award this game one star, and may God have mercy on everyone at Eidos' soul....

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!

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.

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!

Good idea, But they couldn't pull it off.

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.
