ITF is still a better game.
-
The thrill of victory is fun for a while, but the agony of repetition wears away the Fun Factor.
-
All about mashing buttons faster and more accurately than anyone else. The only guarantee is fatigued and sore, cramped, arthritic fingers; well, that and Olympic Glory.
-
Unfortunately, what could have been a great game ultimately falls to the level of mediocrity due to a poor and monotonous control system and lack of Internet play.
-
Da GameboyzI actually didn't mind the simple arcade style gameplay because it was reminiscent of "Summer Games," a game I played often in my youth on a system that I adored.
-
The impressive variety of events is seemingly erased due to the ancient control system that relegates all the events to simple button mashing experiences.

PC GamerWell, there's always the 2004 edition to look forward to. [Nov 2000, p.151]
-
It's a curio--something to buy if you find yourself overcome with Olympic fever; just bear in mind that it'll be in the bargain bin in just a couple of weeks.
-
Most likely a title only true fans of the Olympic games will appreciate since the actual act of playing the game requires some dedication as well as some tough thumbs.

Daily RadarThe problem is the gameplay. It's repetitive, it gets old quickly, it's redundant, it drones on and on, it's monotonous, it's unvaried and it's iterative.
-
The repetitive style of gameplay is a big disappointment.
