Beijing 2008 is a game for those of us who are not into playing sports. The game features several of the disciplines featured in China this past summer, not all of them. The sports that you can play range from several running events, to swimming, to throwing, etc. The game plays way better than the last Olympic video game I played. The controls have been improved so that the game is not a "push this button as hard and fast as you can" kind of game. Now you have to push the buttons when certain movements occur. For example, in running, you have to constantly press "A" while the player's legs are stretched completely. I also tried swimming. That was a harder experience, since I couldn't get the hang of when to do what I was supposed to do. I am sure that with a little more practice, all of those disciplines could be easily mastered. The graphics are better than the last edition, but they could be so much better, too. The sound is the worst part of the game. Due to licensing, many of the country's anthems couldn't be here. That is understandable but it is also a let-down. All in all, the game is fun, but once you master everything, you would have to find friends to play with, because the AI gets a little too repetitive and easy to beat.
