Player's Review
"WINTER OLYMPICS offers you the ultimate experience in sports simulations. You'll race against the best in the world...and the clock... fighting for GOLD in a game where you'll face 10 SPECTACULAR EVENTS testing your speed, strength, skill and endurance to the limit. It's your chance to go for GOLD in the WORLD'S GREATEST WINTER SPORTS SPECTACLE."
This might be Tiertex's greatest work. That's not to say it's a great game but it is well presented looking great overall on every system it landed on. As usual, these type of games are best played in multiplayer but for this longplay it's just be against some very aggressive times to beat on Olympic difficulty mode. There's not a lot of fun to be had here as you have to be pretty much perfect in every aspect with absolutely no room for error in order to beat the times and the controls can make that quite challenging in it self.
There are ten events to play through, some are played twice. The longplay goes through each of them and I try to put a good effort into each to get gold but for one event I just couldn't get it (moguls) as the time requirement was quite strict. Points are gained by speed and time bonus at the end. Some tricks can add to the score but to many and you lose speed points which is costly. Maybe if I could have got two double tricks out it would have done it but it requires you being at max speed which takes a while or I just really suck at the controls. The other events I manage gold but it took more than a few goes to get there. The opening and closing ceremonies are over to quickly and the game doesnt exactly celebrate the winner in any way.
Overall, its an alright game which is well made but its not going to keep you entertained very long as a single player experience. It is interesting how all the different versions across systems are mostly the same yet differ in some way in control and on screen assistance.
