crisp graphics and smooth gameplay make for a good and fun game without all the blood and violence we are so used to. this game definitely blows the lid off of Virtua Athlete 2K, and i havent played Sydney 2000 so I cant pass judgement on that one yet. a couple of the events are dynamite, but then you have the 100m sprint and 110m hurdles which are near impossible to even come in 6th without the use of a cheater controller.in turn, this also makes it extremely difficult to unlock the hidden events, because of requirements needed in other events. I would reccomend this game to any fan of the original Track and Field title for Nintendo (great wasnt it) and any sports/olympic fan.Events you find in this include: 100m dash, 110m hurdles, weightlifting, javelin, hammer throw, long jump, pole vault, horizontal bar, 100m freestyle, triple jump, vault, and trap shooting
