Next February, hundreds of athletes will come together for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Until then, they'll train hard, hoping they have what it takes to claim a gold medal. At the same time, Sega is working hard on Vancouver 2010: The Official Game of the Winter Olympics. They too are hoping for gold, but in a different way.
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.
My hometown. Beautiful city. Too bad olympic games are so boring.
