Though the
Olympic games--those classical tests of strength, speed,
and agility--entered the new millennium in Australia,
you can bring the torch home to your computer with Sydney
2000. Featuring athletes from 32 countries, the game
offers competition in 12 events: 100-meter sprint,
110-meter hurdles, hammer toss, javelin throw, triple
jump, high jump, 100-meter freestyle swimming, sprint
cycling, skeet shooting, weightlifting, 10-meter
platform diving, and the kayak K1 slalom. There are
coaching and Olympic modes for the serious video
athlete, as well as an arcade mode for those who want to
go straight for the gold. Rich, 3-D graphics and
motion-captured animation of real Olympic contenders
bring the game's virtual athletes to life, and Sydney
2000 lets you compete against up to seven others via
Internet or LAN connections!! |
