    This should have been 10 out of 10, but the developers took the easy way out and simply ported the original arcade game. 6 events is too short, and would have benefited from bundling T&F 2/Hyper Sports to beef up the game play. Online is good fun, until you come across some using their Mad Catz Arcade stick with the "turbo" turned on - in case you're wondering that's why all of This should have been 10 out of 10, but the developers took the easy way out and simply ported the original arcade game. 6 events is too short, and would have benefited from bundling T&F 2/Hyper Sports to beef up the game play.

    Classic game at a great price. Good fun with more than one person. HORRIBLE online play as there is alot of lag. You have to start your jump/throw early since there is a large delay in the action. Otherwise I would have given it a 9. Good luck with the Perfection achievement! The High Jump will test your patience.

    This limping Track & Field deserves no medals, let alone any of your Microsoft Points. [July 2007, p.81]

    Sure, its classic precedence for how button mashing games should be played wasn't retained perfectly, but the analog stick is a good substitution, and some players may find that an actual button-based setup works just fine for them. It's still fun, and it still hurts--but in a good way.
