Anyone have this? I am considering to pick it up just for kicks.

Yay, or stay away?

Does this having diving in it? I always thought that could be cool.

I used to play Track and Field a ton back in the day.

 

[Ingonuts13]

That is why im asking. It looks like fun but I can't tell if it really is fun.

Rent it?

 

[Master Blaster]

When they had the Olympics game for PS1, it was really fun to play. If it's anything like that, it's a definitely pickup or multi rental...

Official Xbox Magazine gave it a 2.5/10. Take that for what you will. I don't always listen to critics but when a game rates that low I have serious doubts about spending any money on it.

 

[Ingonuts13]

Reviews range from 6ish to 7.5ish on all the sites I saw. You sure about the rating in the magazine, I subscribe and in mine I don't remember it being that low.

Ugh. That is super low. I'll have to pass.

September 2008 Issue, page 71 , top right corner, subtitled "Does not qualify". I'm looking at it right now, so yep, I'm sure about the rating.

I guess I'll just wait for Gamespot and see.

Hmm is that the PC or 360 version?

Well, it's the Official Xbox Magazine review, so I'll let you figure that one out.

7.7 on IGN fwiw. They liked it for the most part. I don't know that I'd pay $50-60 for it though. Here's the link:

Maybe check out Summer Athletics: The Ultimate Challenge which has a much more wallet friendly price tag ($30). Good solid game as well (there's a review here: http://www.itreviews.co.uk/games/g486.htm )
