Advantages: Easy to suceed but still lots to master

Disadvantages: disc space needed

I have just bought this (being an Olympics fan) and although I haven't explored it all first impressions are great.
The graphics are very good and realistic and the views of the events clear. There is lots to do - 12 different events covering running, throwing, shooting, swimming etc and some nice replays. The controls are very easy - just 3 or 4 buttons to master and the great thing is while I didn;t excel at anything so far I did mange to master the high jump and win a race. Other events are more difficult so I think this a game for all levels.
There is ample provision for amassing statistics of your performances and opprotunities to train athletes and improve their performance.
Only problems so far was sorting out the graphics settings - you have to be sure you tell the game exactly what settings you are using and you have to do this each time. It also takes up around 280mb of disc space at average install. Oh and there is a lot of button bashing so it's not for you if this puts you off.
