Beijing 2008 Official Olympic Video Game

RatedR · 22-08-2008, 07:07 PM

Does anyone have the Beijing 2008 Official Olympics Video Game? If so, do you think its good? My advice: for anyone wanting to buy it, only buy it if rapidly pbashing buttons is your idea of fun.

My Brother In Law has rented it and is enjoying it. My sister likes it because it is the only game she has ever been good at

I love Button Bashers (because alliterations are sooo much better).

Every running event but 800m and 1500m is hard. My brothers good at it, but i suck. I`m good at Javelin, Shot Put, Triple Jump, 100m breastroke, 10m Rapid Fire, Cycling Team Pursuit, Judo, hurdles

Sumo · 22-08-2008, 08:02 PM

I've been waiting all week to rent it.

It's back in stock at my local blockbusters tomorrow, So I'm gonna go down and rent it and have a play

No one does Gymnastics xD

I was doing Gymnastics (floor) yesterday in gamestation and I set a new Record <3

Floor Exercise is the easiest gymnastics event, but theyre all boring the gymnastic ones. I mastered the 1500m, set a WR for Javelin and got my first medal in swimming today. And my first injury.

Is there football & basketball in it?

Sumo · 03-09-2008, 12:37 PM

They never seem to have this in stock when I go down to rent it

I'm currently downloading the demo from the Xbox Live! market place, though

its a button masher game
get Mario and Sonic Olympics Better

Sumo · 03-09-2008, 03:15 PM

I've just played the demo, and I must say I'm disappointed.

After playing Athens 2004 on my playstation 2 I was expecting this to be a good game, but from the demo I can't say that at all

I managed to run the 100m in 19 seconds (

) compared to the 8.4 I could run it in on the Athens 2004 game. I think arthritis ilalalalaing in

Buttons

My real life record is 13.4 seconds, though

RatedR · 03-09-2008, 06:13 PM

analogue hurts and buttons is slower, so which one is the best?

The hurty one, as it isn't slower.

But you still get a red hand.

Sumo · 04-09-2008, 05:46 PM

Adroit's hands are always red, he's a sunburnt little.......

But it's faster, the red hand (or in my case, just taking several layers of skin off my hand) is worth it when playing against friends.

Maxen13 · 04-09-2008, 07:23 PM

The demo for this game is out now...
Odd time for releasing it- after the Olympics have finished and after the game has been released...
Out on Xbox Live Marketplace, anyway, not too sure about the PSN Store, or whatever it is called...

I've got it and I'm loving it, takes me back to the days of 'Track and Field' or 'Daley Thomsons Decathlon'. But yes, as everyone else I am getting blisters and red hand. Thankfully though I am beginning to build up some hard skin.

.....maybe thats not such a good thing, maybe I should try and calm down with some Tiger Woods or something.

Maybe I should make a Beijing 2008 video game injury thread.

SidTheSloth11 · 06-09-2008, 05:18 PM
