Like any other licensed Olympics game that came before it, London 2012 is not a good game but it isn’t bad either. It’s just perfectly lacklustre. However, Sega’s Australian team has put a minimal amount of extra effort into the latest Olympics title and that elevates just a little bit above its predecessors. It’s a game with many pitfalls but it is nice to see at least a few people on the development team tried just a little bit harder than the rest.
With London 2012 now completely finished, Dave Sadd takes a brief look at the parallels between gaming and The Games for Pixels or Death and asks...why not Olympic gaming?
One Hit Pixel - United Front Games' latest title takes top spot, with New Super Mario Bros 2 in second and the London 2012 title in third.
Fingers crossed for Darksiders 2. I'm just 2 hours in and it's great fun and rich in content.
4 years ago since Beijin 2008, SEGA released this year’s London 2012 Olympics video game, hoping to capture the intensity of each event and atmosphere of the Olympics. The London 2012 Olympics is an historic moment for Great Britain, so will the Olympics video game do the same for the gaming industry?
