A forgotten gem.

The Good
- Great colourful graphics that combine motion capture with primitive 3D. The result was stunning at the time and still holds up pretty well today.

  • Trials that are easy to play but difficult to master. And lots of fun to boot.

  • The possibility of playing solo or competing with other players.

  • The win / lose animations. Losing a particular trial was almost worth it for the laughs. I mean, have you ever seen an athlete NOT jumping over a hurdle or jumping way before arriving to the bar?

    The Bad
    I never got to know how to succeed in the pole vault trial. Just like the javelin, I think the controls where partially to blame.

Speaking of which, your keyboard is gonna suffer a lot playing this game.

The Bottom Line
A basic yet highly enjoyable sports game. They don't make them like this anymore.
