  1. Faithful port from the original arcade version that will have you in stitches while competing against your on or offline buddies.
  2. This is one of the few XBLA games that I've continued to play after the first week. But for most people, once you've figured out the patterns to win there isn't a challenge.
  3. "Daley's Decathalon" on the Spectrum was bigger and better, but it was a rip off of the original. Know your roots. [Nov 2007, p.96]

    Brilliant button-bashing fun, tremendous nostalgia value, and the online capabilities add a lot to the experience. I give it a 10 because of the fun/value ratio. Expand

    This game was one of my favorites as a kid, and it has been faithfully reproduced. I love it - been playing it all night. Plus, playing on Xbox Live is a blast! No question this is one of the best buys on live arcade. Expand

    This should have been 10 out of 10, but the developers took the easy way out and simply ported the original arcade game. 6 events is too short, and would have benefited from bundling T&F 2/Hyper Sports to beef up the game play. Online is good fun, until you come across some using their Mad Catz Arcade stick with the "turbo" turned on - in case you're wondering that's why all of the leaderboards are filled with impossible times/distances. A missed opportunity Expand
