Athens 2004 maybe mostly a button-mashers paradise, but the game is also a great deal of fun. If you like athletic competition on the console systems, this is an easy recommendation.
-
TotalGames.netWe defy you to get through an entire tournament and still care whether you win or lose, which is about the best summation of Athens 2004 as we're likely to find.
-
Casual gamers may want to pick it up also since it is a rather fun party game and even non-gamers can learn the simple controls in a try or two.
-
It's solid enough, with only minor bugaboos as a single-player game, but it really kicks butt with its multiplay.
-
There are some things I would have liked to have seen, like using the DDR pad for the whole game, and absolutely no online play. We're in a big online push, and I think this could have been a big thing for this game. But still, it's a solid job.

AceGamezBasic controller requirements, repetitive presentation and an incredibly satisfying multiplayer mode add up to a sporting title that fares far better as a party game than a single player experience.
-
An exercise in masochism, as you'll find that the world records within the game are generally easily knocked over. It's only when you can look across the sofa at tired, sore and elated faces and realise that you just lunged over the line at the last second to grasp victory that you'll find Athens 2004 a really worthwhile game.
-
The lack of a proper Olympic mode does come as a surprise but is not a major flaw and anyone looking for a solid athletics title with many more sports thrown in could do worse.
-
Good multiplayer options will bring out your competitive side, but there are no online modes.
-
The multiplayer offers one of the most addictive and accessible experience since the EyeToy, everyone can play and have fun doing so.
-
This was a decent title, and comes highly recommended for kids who love to play with the dance mat.
-
It’s a great buy at 40 dollars that will leave you with blistered fingers, bruised egos, and tired muscles.

HenrikS.Mar 3, 2006Some of the disciplines are quite fun to play, but in general it´s a boring title.
