VGGEN: Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge Review

VGGEN writes: "Ahh…the Summer Olympics. It's hard to believe that they only take place every four years, isn't it? Of course, given the quality and interest level (or lack thereof) of certain events falling under that overall categorization, perhaps it's better that the Summer Olympics only occur quadrennially. The same unwelcome recurrences are reflected likewise in Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge. Conspiracy Entertainment apparently wasn't able to secure the legal right to establish itself as official Summer Olympics merchandising, but a rose by any other name is still a rose, as the Bard once wrote, and branding can only carry a game so far. What ultimately matters, despite decades of business and retail models pointing to the contrary, is the actual content of the game. And when measured by that standard, Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge fails to even earn a spot on the podium." (Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge, Wii) 3.5/10
