Sydney 2000, a good athletics game or just a button basher - it's definitely the official game of last years Olympics, but already I've forgotten about it, it wasn't that good then, and by no means has it suddenly gotten into my good books. I was convinced that this would be a worthwhile purchase after hearing lots of good acclaim ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit a of track & field type game addict, so when Sydney 2000 came out I had to buy it. The game has 12 events, ranging from 100m to shooting to diving, so there is a decent variety of skills involved. But it may have been nice to have a few more. In Arcade mode you can compete to get the highest score over the 12 events, and play against ...  Read the complete review

After watching the olympics I had to go out and buy this game all the screen shots I had seemed made the game look fantastic but in reality it is a very poor game. The graphics are exellent but to actually get control the game it is nearly impossible I tried to read the instructions for help even looked about on the web but you have very ...  Read the complete review

Sydney 2000 is great for all of us who grew up playing The Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics titles that used to be available for Commodore 64 and IBM compatibles. These are meant to be played with other people. You create and train athletes to your liking and then take them on a run for the gold. The amount of events you get to participate is ...  Read the complete review

This year on Dreamcast I was hoping for a really good Track and Field Athletics type of game, and so when 3 were announced I was pretty pleased, but now that all three are out and have been reviewed, I have to say I am disappointed. Firstly Virtua Athlete failed to live up to my expectations - great graphics – but it couldn’t really ...  Read the complete review

The concept of Sydney 2000 is very simple you have a variety of modes for a variety of Olympic sports, while there are several disciplines missing (Judo and Gymnastics for example) there is a pleasantly broad enough range to please anyone. The modes themselves will be familiar to any Dreamcast owner, firstly there is Arcade where you ...  Read the complete review

Having played both Virtua Athlete and this I can say that this is the better of the two. Better graphics, more and better events and slightly better controls mean that if you are after a button basher, then this is the one to go for. However, in 1P mode it quickly tires, so unless you've got loads of friends coming round you may want to think ...  Read the complete review
