    Torino 2006 for the Xbox also suffers from the same stale one button simplicity of the PS2 version.

    With no opening or closing ceremonies, or otherwise flashy presentation, the game is as boring to look at as it is to play.

    An essential failure in almost every way. At best it's a collection of rather boring events. At worst, putting the Olympic symbol on the box is a mockery of the games' excellent now bi-yearly presentation.

    What you're getting in Torino is the ability to play through a small set of Olympic events that feel more like field day events at an elementary school. There's no weight or gravity given to the situation and thus the majesty and the intrigue of the Olympic Games is completely sucked out of this horrendously ill-advised videogame.

    Despite all the bad reviews, I think it is a great game that needs a little improvement. The olympic games come every four years and last 16 days. As soon as you get hooked into the Olympics, they end. This allows you have some Olympics in the home while waiting to see them again.… Expand
