Games Reviews: Winter Sports 2010

£29.99 – £39.99

Format PS3, Wii, Xbox 360

Publisher Tradewest

The second game this week aimed at sports fans who are keenly anticipating next month’s events in Vancouver. But if you are going to buy one Winter Olympics simulation, there aren’t many reasons to recommend this license-lacking title. There are only eight different disciplines available to play – all of which offer relatively different experiences – but unfortunately they all fail to provide much excitement, with poor controls resulting in them being little more than mini-games. You may get a few minutes of pleasure from each event and the graphics are not terrible, but overall Winter Sports 2010 fails to raise itself above mediocrity
