As an avid Track & Field fan and former athlete, I was looking forward to the release o this game for some time, only to be greatly disappointed for several reasons:
1) The controls are virtually impossible to use! It doesn't take any intellectual effort to push A * B as fast as possible... yet, even when you try to, it is never fast enough.
2) The gameplay is unrealistic. Even if you press the appropriate keys to move as fast as possible, you are still lightyears behind the computer simulated characters. I think the fastest 100m I ran on the game was about a 14.00 sec. Now tell me, which Olympian even runs above 11 seconds on a bad race? NONE!!!
3) You cannot create yor own character.
4) You have to be a member of XBOX live just to access the world records. In other words, if you don't have XBOX live, the world records won't be listed.
5) The graphics are sub-standard for a 'next-generation' game.
I think ther are probably others reasons I am not thinking of at the moment.
But, at very least (in my opinion) for the reasons above, this game is a total waste of your money, even if you love the Olympics!!!!

I am addicted to this game. The graphics are very good, however the gameplay is a bit tiresome (tapping X and O repeatedly). If you always have friends over this game is a must buy, it is 4 player and you can play online with and against your friends. The events vary from the 100m to Judo and Kayaking which are extremely hard.
This is an enjoyable game and I recommend it to others.

All events, good graphics, So-So game playReview created: 08/17/09
by:
Summer Olypics in China. Well, I was impressed that all sporting events were covered in the game and it had the ability to play two players locally or over Xbox network. The graphics are quite good, (water was realistic, and body movement was fairly good on most events) The sound was ok, but did not have any option to change music. Many of the actual events can take quite a bit of practice and luck to figure out even after watching it demo'd. Overall game play I would rate as "ok" to "so-so" depending in the event being played.
On the down side: The menu navigation is a little akward, load times between events was longer than it should be, and the constant "bother" of the staging screens (basic setup step for each event, slowing you down before you can take action) are waaaaay overkill. Frankly, this became annoying very quickly- since each event required you to constantly hit "A" to page thru staging screens, before you could start the actual event (sometimes it required you to press "A" 3 or 4 times for each turn, on each event)
Bottom Line: This wasn not quite like the old, popular "Track-n-field" game that I was hoping it would be. If you can pick it up for under $20, are patient and like sports games you can take on friends with- then you might want to add this one to your collection. I did.

Beijing 2008 (XBox360)This game is a fun, challenging, and interesting game. From the track to the pool to the gymnasium, this game is fun for all people of all ages. Although the controls can be hard at times, it's worth the buy! This is a great game!!

Rent this piece of crap if you insist on trying
) Pretty simple...DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! I bought it out of curiosity but if you are curious, rent it first. You will get sick of it in a bout 2 hours. Its repetitive, button mashing, boring crap.

very goodI bought the game during the olympics. It took a while to get here, but once it finally arrived I have really enjoyed it. Beijing 2008 is a very challenging Xbox 360 game on many different levels. The game makes you use the controller as a rapid fire punch button device in some of the sporting events; which can be frustrating, but once you get the hang of it, it's fun.

FREE PLAYSTATION3 WITH THIS OFFER CHECK IT OUT!0 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.
Step 1: Click this link http:

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)
For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.
