GameCell: Beijing 2008 Review

All in all this is a more than competent effort at an Olympic Games err… game, for the most part it looks great, and the replays really show off the well-animated and modelled athletes and the packed stadium well, although here and there the frame rate seems a bit jerky for no apparent reason.

Even allowing for the multiplayer (split screen, LAN and Xbox Live for up to 4 players) it’s unlikely that you’ll be playing this collection of stick-twiddling button-bashers for the duration of the real games, and it’ll be gathering dust on the shelf long before the closing ceremony.
