I blame the wife for this game, she wanted to get a new two player one and thought this would be good with the olympics on and all.
The game seems to be designed to destroy controllers, near every event involves waggling the various sticks in a palm burning blur till you have a split second to press another button, followed by more stick wiggling.
Other events seem to require you to have olympic ability in coordination as you rapidly rotate your sticks one way to another to lift up a set of weights
Unless you want to end up with a controller shaped hole in your television stay away.

I didn't mind the archery though

I know reviews can be taken with a pinch of salt but I thought the good game review was enough to keep away. Pretty funny as well

I should have checked there first, i checked a couple of review sites before purchase and it hadn't reviewed too poorly in some places. The chinese must have bribed them.

these type of games have always been the same, i destroyed many joysticks on Daily Thompsons back in the day and more recently play track n field to death on PS.

One of those game types you either love or hate

It doesn't get any better on the PS3. One of the worst games I have played. Lucky I just hired it
