    Although Vancouver 2010 doesn’t excel in any real way, it proves to be a good game, superior to any other Olympic simulation out there. In other words, if you’re looking for the ultimate Olympic experience, look no further.

    The Olympic Games are starting again and a game can’t be missed. SEGA delivers the game again and just like the first time the game isn’t great. The game is basically 14 minigames and that’s all. The games you play in this game could also be released on the PlayStation Network for a few euro’s or dollars. If you are a great, great fan of the Olympic Games, maybe you like this game. If you don’t care about the Olympic Games, there are a lot better games out there.

    A challenging game that's easy to control, but Vancouver 2010 should have more events, a better single player mode and more settings options. Overall it feels more of a half-decent Olympic clone then something that deserves those rings on the cover.

    You like sports? Practice them in real life and keep your hands off this game – it is not worth the effort.

    Bottom-line: This is a game for completionists, leaderboard junkies, and glory hounds, though it should be noted that there are much simpler ways to proclaim one's video game superiority.

    There's very little to love in Vancouver 2010, Sega's half-assed attempt to make a must-own game out of the 2010 Winter Olympics. This dud features confusing controls, lackluster events and only a couple of hours of gameplay.

There are only This game is an absolute insult to anyone truly interested in winter sports!! It is an extremely shallow game in so many ways. There are only 4 competitors in Olympic mode!! With the fist place getter often winning by more than 3-4 seconds over second place. Unheard of in any skiing competition when we are really looking at hundredths of a second!! The replays are best turned off - can you believe that? They only last a few seconds and don't even show you the whole race!! When 'competing' there is no excitement at all. I was bored with this game after about 2 hours and I am a big fan of skiing!! For a cool game try 'Ski Challenge' which is free to download as it's so much better than this rubbish!! 4/10… Expand
