The game is ok; the gameplay can be hard despite the good graphics and is not friendly on the fingers; nothing new here.

I find the gameplay quite hard, I first used the keyboard and then tried a controller; it is unfriendly on the fingers and on some of the challenges it is near impossible to win. The track and swimming events were quite hard to play and caused pain in my fingers, especially the events lasting several minutes.

Have found that some parts of the game have great graphics, while other parts of the game struggle, an example of this appears on the weightlifting, the graphics crashed badly.

I did find some parts the game addictive, some of the challenges that you have to do such as the Skeet and the Archery do allow you to challenge yourself. I also like the audio in the game with the announcer and the crowd noises.

In summary, a game with gameplay similar to other sports games and in some places extremely difficult; graphics are good, although they can be slow and may need tweaking in the options; I am not sure I would play the full game but take part in the individual events via the training options.
