Athens 2004 - Does It Win A Gold Medal? 463771
Athens 2004 for the PS2 is a great multi-player game. You'll get real satisfaction out of hearing the roar of the virtual crowd, after you've beaten your buddy in the 800 meters or the high jump. The graphics on Athens 2004 are also one of the game's upsides with the animations being truer-to-reality than any previous Olympic video game. While Athens 2004 is cool for a weekend of video game Olympics with your friends, it's also a game that you could soon become bored with, due to the limited events and repetitive controls. You're better off renting it, rather than making Athens 2004 a part of your permanent video game collection.

Athens 2004 Video Game Thumbs Down: 14a2
- No online play - The Olympics are supposed to be an international event - this game could've been so much stronger if you could play online against players from around the world.
- Event selection - Gymnastics and Equestrian aren't the greatest events to bring to a video game. What about Boxing, Wrestling or Beach Volleyball?
- Endless button pushing - Be prepared for sore thumbs and cramped hands.
