The
eight events in this game involve skill, patience and,
in one instance, speed. Some of the events are based
loosely around those in Track and Field I and
II, having the 100m sprint from I and
the skeet shooting, pole vault, 100m freestyle swimming
and gymnastics of II. Added to these are high
diving, 4X400m relay and freestyle swimming relay.
The
game doesn't score like the arcade game but you have
the option to play eight players at once and
go for those world records.
Graphically
this is a masterpiece: the animation of the runners
and the backgrounds of the events are superb. Sound
is great too, choose which country you want to be from
the wealth of options and if you win, the national anthem
will be played.
This
is not essentially an arcade style conversion but will
appeal universally to Track and Field fans who
like a bit of skill to challenge them.
