    On consoles it’s quite playable, but the PC version is a sad joke. It looks like nobody bothered with betatesting it - how you can publish a sports game with broken controls?! [Sept 2008]

    Beijing 2008 proves beyond a doubt that rapidly pushing buttons is not fun.

    Craptacular. To start with you must have a XBox360 for windows controller to even play the game on PC. I gave it one point because some of the games are OK, and Im thinking swimming and target based sports (but they very quickly lose their appeal through repetition), but any of the track and field sports have more to do with luck and sore fingers than any game skill. Absolute waste of money, with many of the old button mashing commodore 64 sport games having better gameplay than this crock. To show you how bad it is, even my kids won't play it.… Full Review »

    This game isn't bad, but isn't good. Some events are very easy to play like archery, swimming, discus, shooting, but much of them are unplayable!!!!!!!… Full Review »

    This thing is *completely* unplayable on PC. Scandalous.
