IGN takes an extended look at the innovative sports game:
"SEGA and Eurocom are no stranger to Olympic games – indeed, SEGA's seen phenomenal success with the once unlikely pairing of Mario and Sonic for Nintendo's consoles, while Eurocom has previously teamed up with the publisher to deliver 2008's slightly less successful official game. For next year's Winter Olympics, they're pushing the boat out a little and trying something completely new – and from today's brief preview, it's a little something that could make the game stand head and shoulders above similar fare."
PSX Extreme writes: "It seems that every time they try to do a game based on the Olympics, everything falls to pieces. The last attempt – centered on the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing – failed miserably due to ridiculous mechanics, clunky and sometimes impossible control, lackluster technicals and an almost complete lack of pageantry and theatricality. The latter is part of what makes the Olympics great, if we've already forgotten, and while Vancouver 2010 still lacks that, Eurocom made good strides in righting many of the past wrongs."
3djuegos: In an effort to recoup the mediocre Beijing 2008, SEGA revitalizes its Olympic franchise with a much greater Vancouver 2010. We are not in the final title of Olympic sports, but to a very serious leap forward and before a title is not negligible.
Mondoxbox: Vancouver 2010 offers fourteen disciplines including Downhill, Ski jumping, Snowboarding, Skating, Bobsleigh, Luge and Skeleton. These are playable in four different ways, Olympic Games, Training, Challenges and local and online multiplayer.
