Returning Gamer review Sat, 13 Mar 2010

Vancouver 2010 has its moments but the overall package lacked the bite of my childhood classic track and field. As a returning gamer I was disappointed with the repetition of events and the lack of any structure.

Even though it has less of a draw than its Summer Olympic counterpart there's always been something magical about the winter Olympics to me. The cold month of February was always lessened by watching Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards come last with such British Bravado. Even the cold personalities of the dominant countries were amazing to watch just for their expert skill and class when it came to the bob-sleigh or downhill slalom.

Family Gamer review Sat, 06 Mar 2010

Vancouver 2010 360 is the closest I'll get to the Winter Olympics. While there are plenty of events the increasing difficulty and fiddly controls make this more of a runner up, rather than an Olympian.

My wife and I were very excited about Vancouver 2010, we often spend hours playing Track and Field on the 360 and we enjoyed playing Beijing 2008. As our excitement grows for watching the actual games on TV we thought we could prep by playing Vancouver 2010, unfortunately we were very disappointed.

Frugal Gamer review Fri, 04 Dec 2009

Vancouver 2010 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC puts you in the middle of an authentic simulation of the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. You'll get to experience the thrill and high-octane rush of some of the most extreme and spectacular of winter sports. With an all-new challenge mode exclusive to the official game, this will be a gaming experience unlike any other immersing you in the most exciting sporting events in the world.

Olympic sport-themed videogames have always been awkward and uninspiring efforts that have broken more controllers, joysticks or fingers than I care to remember. But Vancouver 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC looks to break that painful mould with a game that puts much more emphasis on skill and timing rather than how quickly you can waggle your stick.
