  1. A challenging game that's easy to control, but Vancouver 2010 should have more events, a better single player mode and more settings options. Overall it feels more of a half-decent Olympic clone then something that deserves those rings on the cover.
  2. Vancouver 2010 might be more than button mashing, but the sporting events are too few in number and with no tournament holding them together it’s the spirit of the Olympic Games that doesn’t make the cut.

    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.

    Ok, so it doesn't have a career mode, but all the events are solid and the game comes into its own online. My mates and I had an absolute blast. See you at the top of the leaderboards!!! (Yes you can consider this a challenge) Expand

    Definitely doesn't deserve kudos of an 8, 9 or 10 score by any means as many key events are glaringly missing; ie. curling, biathlon, figure skating, snowboard halfpipe, etc. But seems they kept the scope within budget, and what they have delivered is pretty good quality really, despite lack of depth in gameplay modes. Plenty of value though if you wanna rise up the Online Leaderboards for each event and beat your personal records. Expand
