    London 2012 is almost an exemplary sports compilation – nice-looking, somewhat challenging, with a good selection of disciplines.

    London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games a most definitely the best „olympic" video game that had been made in more than a decade. No more stupid button mashing – a new control scheme makes the gameplay enjoyable. Graphics are suprisingly pretty and you can feel the atmosphere of a grand sports event. The biggest flaw is an abysmal quality of the PC version – it's a console port in the worst way.

    This game is much better than Beijing 2008!!!! It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Only problem is that that there should be more teams like how it was in Athens 2004!!! THE BEST GAME FOR OLYMPICS!!! Expand
  2. 3D OPTION -If you have a 3d tv/projector.

    It's a good Olympic game made better with sound pc joypad control ideas.
    I use my ps3 controller
    using "motionjoy" in xbox mode.
    The event list is massive.
    I've given it an 8 (not a deserved 7 for gameplay/graphics etc) because it has a 3d option (sbs) which looks amazing with the clever camera angles.
    Recommended and will put you in the Olympic spirit.
    If I could make it better I'd add a face import option.

    Although it is not a great game, but the developers would otherwise have to do it? The campaign does not impress and you will see that it is better to play in a new fifa. But ... I think developers really tried. How to play sports in which you can see buildings and tp. graphics look good. Various competitions were done as well. Added to this is the split-screen, even for 4 So why not have fun. Some like it, some do not. My rating-7/10 Expand
  4. The game play is amazingly bad. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Its impossible to play without a gamepad. If you do buy this game, get a hard copy and expect to trade it back in shortly after. Plus, the graphics are very poor, no better than The Olympics game of 2004. MAJOR WARNINGS. NOT GOOD, not sure what its like for PS3/XBOX but dear god, not on PC. Expand
