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!

I dont see why ths game is getting all those bad reviews. The graphics are very good and the events selected are very addictive. Sure it only has 6 compared to the 13 on the PS1 Nagano '98 game, but all 6 events are alot of fun. The skiing here is better than the ESPN winter games. Not much "button mashing" here, just timing and steering. I would recommend this to anybody.

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!

Pretty good but could be better

This game was very good. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is good. The big flaw is that there are only six events but all these events are pretty good. I am hoping for more events in Athens 2004.

the graphics kicked @$$

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.

What a crappy excuse for a Winter Olympics game

... I bought the ps Nagano '98 a long time ago thinking that it would be just like the N64 version. In stark contrast, it was horrible. I saw Salt Lake 2002 at my local rental store,looked at the back cover and thought that in no way could they possibly turn out another game as poor as Nagano, and I should give it a shot. So, i rented it. I am sorry to say it's just as bad, and actually worse. I couldn't even get through thirty minutes of it. The graphics are poor even for a ps2, the sound is awful, the commentary ... and the controls are atrocious. The ski jumping is awful and the bobsled is just as bad. You get never sensation of speed or any sensation at all, really. The gameplay feels really dead. There's no life to any of it. The long shots of the courses before each run you make are stupid and unnecessary. Need I say more? This game isn't even worth the 5 bucks i spent renting it.
