Torino 2006

"What you’re getting in Torino is the ability to play through a small set of Olympic events that feel more like field day events at an elementary school. There’s no weight or gravity given to the situation and thus the majesty and the intrigue of the Olympic Games is completely sucked out of this horrendously ill-advised videogame. It’s tough to finish second when you’re the only Olympic game in town and yet Torino 2006 manages to pull it off."

"Torino 2006 is an essential failure in almost every way. At best it's a collection of rather boring events. At worst, putting the Olympic symbol on the box is a mockery of the games' excellent now bi-yearly presentation. Unless you really, really love competition games, pass on Torino 2006."
