Dom Robinson reviews

Salt Lake Winter Olympics 2002

for Sega Dreamcast

  • Price: £39.99
  • Players: 1-2

    • Another sporting event, another game title, this time celebrating the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    There are six events, each of which are pretty much self-explanatory and you can tell exactly what you're going to get, starting with Men's Alpine Skiing, in which the fastest man down to the bottom of the course scoops the gold. Then comes Women's Alpine Slalom Skiing - almost the same thing but with a female character and having to dodge between gates.

    Two-Man Bobsleigh sounds like a bit of fun, while Women's Skiing Aerials is like a practice event with stunts being thrown in along the way. The final two are Men's Ski Jumping and Men's Snowboard Slalom.

    During each event the commentators make their quips about how badly you're doing and afterwards you can choose to see the replay from fixed camera angles.

    game pic The graphics are reasonable and what you'd expect from the PS2, but are far from outstanding. The atmosphere of the event is captured nicely in sweeping camera shots, but what really matters is when it comes down to how it looks when you're actually playing. You get a choice of a few camera angles, but compared to other winter games like SSX Tricky and it just doesn't compare.

    The sound is average. The crowd constantly cheer or show their disappointment when you fail, the commentators' voices are clear but as you travel across the snow it just sounds like a slight scraping noise. There's nothing in there to make you feel involved like the aforementioned SSX sequel, even if this title is meant to be mirroring real life and so wouldn't be as flashy as an arcade game. Some rather indistinct rock tracks are included, but nothing to get excited about.

    Definitely this is a case where anyone wanting a purely arcade experience should look elsewhere because it just doesn't seem as much fun as it should be. However, those still determined that practice makes perfect should rent it for a day first to see if it'll have the longevity they're after, but be quick as interest will wane once the games have ended.
