    Surprisingly polished and genuinely challenging. [Issue#189, p.77]

    A decent enough collection on winter sports themed minigames. The sense of speed is very good. Too bad the selection of sports is way too small. [Feb 2010]

    If only this game had some semblance of a career mode or anything that felt slightly like the real Olympics, then perhaps SEGA would have had a real winner on its hands.

    Vancouver 2010 is frustrating hard and offers to less for 60 euro. However, fans of the Olympic Games have a game to add to their collection.

    What's in there is very good, good sense of speed, nice online leaderboards and the challenge mode is a nice touch. The problem is, there's not enough in there.… Expand

    Decent game for anyone but not one to keep you play hours in a row, it's not very addictive but it might be if you're obsessed with winter sports. I think the people who made this game tryed as hard as they could to make this a good game because i can't think of a way that i could improve it.… Expand

    This game is an absolute insult to anyone truly interested in winter sports!! It is an extremely shallow game in so many ways. There are only 4 competitors in Olympic mode!! With the fist place getter often winning by more than 3-4 seconds over second place. Unheard of in any skiing competition when we are really looking at hundredths of a second!! The replays are best turned off - can you believe that? They only last a few seconds and don't even show you the whole race!! When 'competing' there is no excitement at all. I was bored with this game after about 2 hours and I am a big fan of skiing!! For a cool game try 'Ski Challenge' which is free to download as it's so much better than this rubbish!! 4/10… Expand
