Nagano Winter Olympics '98
Reviewed by Matt Mullen
The snow is falling and you are at the Olympic, the Winter Olympics in
Nagano. You can choose between 12 events including Bobsledding, snow
boarding, skiing, and luging. You can also choose between 16 different
teams including USA, Canada, and Great Britain, but no Jamaica. You get
judged on some events on how good you do jumps and other artistic
things. Or you can come across the finish line in a certain amount of
time to win the gold. But there is only one thing on all the athletes
minds, gold in Nagano.
Graphics 9 out of 10
The graphics are great on this game, even though it's not quite real
life. Graphic interface could do a little better, sometimes your body
will go into the snow, but not often. On this game the lines of graphics
are straight, and not very curved, one thing they have to work on. Other
then those few things the graphics are absolutely terrific on this game!
Music and Sound 7 out of 10
This game has great sounds, like it says get ready go! And when you get
it the top three it goes A new record, congratulations on your
"Gold/bronze/silver" There are also sounds when you fall down or while
you are skating on ice and all that stuff. The sounds are great. But there
is not very much music which can be a good or bad thing because you
want to concentrate. But you also just want to have fun. There is music
in the half pipe and the all of the selection screens other than that there
are just noises, that's why it's only 7 out of 10.
Game Challenge 9 out of 10
This game can be very tough for beginners and is very fun. It will take
you a while to get golds in every event so it should keep you busy for a
while. The first time I rented it I only got like 5 golds in different events.
It is very difficult which can make it very challenging for some and very
bad for others, but I'll let you decide, go out and rent it today!
Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10
This game is very fun to play but can get boring after a while. But that
probably won't stop you from trying to get a medal, I mean after all
it is the Olympics.
Frustration
Sometimes you can't medal or you can't figure out how to do
something and this can be very frustrating.
Replayability 5 out of 10
Sometimes this game gets very boring when you replay something that
you have already gotten like 10 gold medals in but it can be fun if you only
have a silver in the event.
Game Value 8 out of 10
At first this game is defiantly worth the price but after a while it
can get very boring so I suggest buying the game used if you buy it, I
mean it got kinda boring after just 3 days for me, of course I guess
that's because I couldn't medal in any more events that I had already
medaled in.
Overall 8 out of 10
Overall this game is pretty good but I suggest renting it before buying
and see how you like it. Even though it gets you into the atmosphere of
the Olympics it could probably do better with a difficult setting and
maybe some more events. Other than that this game is great!
