    Good old school button mashing to the max (lol) It's exactly how I remembered it. They should now release Daley Thompsons Decathlon.

    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

    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.

    Great fun, especially with your mates and a few beers. Addictive "just-one-more-try" appeal whne trying desperately to beat your own/friends records. Aside from a few timing issues (you get used to it quickly enough) when playing on LIVE this is definately one of the best XBLA games. Those with really slow connections beware - you will more than likely come in last!

    Classic game at a great price. Good fun with more than one person. HORRIBLE online play as there is alot of lag. You have to start your jump/throw early since there is a large delay in the action. Otherwise I would have given it a 9. Good luck with the Perfection achievement! The High Jump will test your patience.

    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.

    Absolutely worth the 400 pts. The only problem I have is that timing jumps differs online than in solo play. It takes some getting used to. It's a great throwback.

    This limping Track & Field deserves no medals, let alone any of your Microsoft Points. [July 2007, p.81]

    Sure, its classic precedence for how button mashing games should be played wasn't retained perfectly, but the analog stick is a good substitution, and some players may find that an actual button-based setup works just fine for them. It's still fun, and it still hurts--but in a good way.
