Thumbs Down for the Torino 2006 Video Game![]() It seems like the video game named after the Olympic Winter Games hasn't exactly managed to convince critics. In a rather amusing review CNET writes about the aptly named "Torino 2006" (for pc, ps2 and xbox): "It is easily one of the most half-hearted and uninspired examples of developers quickly trying to cash in on the event in a timely fashion. If you're not big into the winter games, then there's no single reason on Earth to pay $20 for what's essentially a lousy collection of short, Olympic-themed minigames. And if you are one of those people who glue themselves to the TV every couple of years to watch some downhill skiing, you'll still be disappointed by how little justice this game does its license." Phew - I guess that about says it! And the rating? 3.9/10 IGN isn't much more merciful in their description: "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." 4.4/10 |
