Gamertell Review: Beijing 2008 for Xbox 360

Gamertell has posted a negative review of official 2008 Summer Olympics videogame titled Beijing 2008 for the Xbox 360.

From the review:

"The good news is that this may be one of the best Olympic videogames ever made. The bad news is that isn't saying much since they have all been pretty miserable...

Beijing maintains the long-standing tradition of lackluster Olympics games by trying to do too much and failing to do anything well except maybe graphics, a few interesting control ideas (eg. Diving) and a couple tolerable shooting events. Since there are so many diverse sports, it must certainly be a hard task for a game company to make every event easy to play or even enjoyable. One or two events may be acceptable but, as an entire release, this is still a pretty dismal game, even as a rental. I'll at least give it some bonus points for offering a large range of events, the ability to compete online (even if no one is playing online) and the rather nice graphics."
