In Sega, fans love the sport and the Olympics in particular. After Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter mainly designed for family fun, the firm is now another portion of players with a Vancouver 2010 more realistic and developed by Eurocom, already author of Beijing 2008. Here, players can express their dexterity through 14 events, alone or with others, with multiple local and a game mode online. If this kind of title is usually not much to surprise, it is still pleasantly surprised by the careful implementation of all with good graphics and a clear tutorial to get their hands on each subject before address the medals.
The grip is a good time on snow or ice, and the gameplay is generally based more on timing or balance on the hype of buttons, which is pretty good. We regret, however, the similarity that may exist between some tests, already not particularly numerous: the differences between the luge and bobsleigh and skating on 500 or 1,500 meters and are minimal in practice. And there are other examples. Suddenly, the entire life of the product can return it decreased.
Fortunately for him, Vancouver 2010 can also compare the scores online, and as long as you're the type to want to pick the best times or scores, you will have something to play for a while. A game can be a bit sober and agreed in some respects, but so should those who seek to make their console at the Winter Olympics, the latter now approaching fast.
Having operated successfully licensing Summer Olympics in Beijing by 2008, Sega puts it. This time, it is obviously the Winter Olympics as the editor suggests that we live on our machines. Vancouver 2010 has the same goal as his cousin become a benchmark in the multi-type tests based on an existing competition and more importantly, the most popular ever.
Game Plot :
If we recall the latter title would have to face Vancouver 2010 with considerable caution. A first look at the game is graphically tells us a great level, with huge and well recreated scenes, some realistic animations and effects on snow and dust to be taken into account for his great fidelity. But it is the control point that most concerns us know, and SEGA gave us the opportunity to try the game in depth with a Beta version.
The next Winter Olympics are going to Canada, just to Vancouver, during days 12 to 28 February. Lovers of this sport-growing in recent years, love the game, and more reticent to experiment will be curious to know what kind of experience can bring the title and as plasma under the controls of a console.
Possessing a successful experience during the summer of 2008, developers Eurocom went with our full confidence in their task of adapting the Winter Olympics in video gaming. Before them, there are other risky based on licenses Lillehammer 1994, Nagano 1998 and Torino 2006 to name but a few, with varying success. This time, fear of the unknown is no longer as revolutionize the genre, Beijing 2008 remains a very good memory for us, a subtle blend of fun and completeness.
Unfortunately, the phrase that recurs in the mouths of players who try briefly Vancouver 2010 is the same: "They have not crushed!". And indeed, the least we can say is that this title is disappointing. Perhaps we expected too much but what is more natural for a title with the official license of the Olympics? Having toured the possibilities, Vancouver 2010 is a title just means that the content is full of holes, gaps that are inexplicable talent for enraging those who awaited him as the messiah.
Chronicle of a small mess. The first misstep in Vancouver in 2010 as disciplines that summarizes in a small screen. Certainly, there are a total of 14 events (we do not list the picture accompanying this paragraph speaks for itself) but putting aside the derivatives, there is missing a third of the discipline of OJ.
The most notable absence is no doubt biathlon, one of the flagship events of the Olympic Games, combining skiing and rifle shooting. By voice of consequence, cross-country skiing is simply skipped, as well as curling, Nordic combined, figure skating or ice hockey. We cannot forgive these oversights, except the last named, hockey requires a full-fledged development, what the series and NHK NHL 2K for years now. In short, it is very fast around the proposed discipline, widely dominated by skiing and all its variants. It may also be surprised by the fact that all these tests are distributed free and arbitrary manner between the two sexes. Speed skating is reserved for ladies such as bobsleigh, skeleton and luge is to men. One detail, however.
