Athens is a good game but not if your a loner. Brilliant multiplayer

User Rating: 7.5 | Athens 2004 PS2
Athens 2004 is a smashing game when your in the mood for a great competitive multiplayer.
I still play it now with my brothers, its a game you cant really get bored with because there is so much you can do.

This game has above average graphics. Nothing that you'll ooh and aah about. Crowd cheers ok. Once again nothing spectacular. 2 tap buttons, Hurting fingers, annoying CPU A.I. at times, and you'll get tired of the game really quick. No create-a-player mode really blew it. I mean, no try-outs to at least qualify for the Olympics. It should have some sort of story-line, where you create a player from your Hometown, compete in Minor Trials all over throughout a few years, then that 4th year try to make the Olympics in whatever field you are competing in.
