The Winter Olympics begin in February 2010 in Canada and to keep up with the snowy momentum, SEGA have embarked on publishing the official tie-in video-game of the event. From the warmth of your armchairs and possibly without a speck of snow in sight, the game allows you to take part in a number of events for that perfect recreation of wintry sports. However, not all of the events are crammed onto the disc, but there's enough to keep the competitive entertained. So, without further ado, is Vancouver 2010 the video-game worth picking up?
PSX Extreme writes: "It seems that every time they try to do a game based on the Olympics, everything falls to pieces. The last attempt – centered on the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing – failed miserably due to ridiculous mechanics, clunky and sometimes impossible control, lackluster technicals and an almost complete lack of pageantry and theatricality. The latter is part of what makes the Olympics great, if we've already forgotten, and while Vancouver 2010 still lacks that, Eurocom made good strides in righting many of the past wrongs."
3djuegos: In an effort to recoup the mediocre Beijing 2008, SEGA revitalizes its Olympic franchise with a much greater Vancouver 2010. We are not in the final title of Olympic sports, but to a very serious leap forward and before a title is not negligible.
Mondoxbox: Vancouver 2010 offers fourteen disciplines including Downhill, Ski jumping, Snowboarding, Skating, Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton. These are playable in four different ways, Olympic Games, Training, Challenges and local and online multiplayer.
