Great arcade style sports game Although a lot of people dislike Virtua Athlete, I think the game is quitte good if you expect an arcade style sports. The game play is easy and the multi-player option is big fun. Don't expect a really big and long sports game made for a console, but just a straight arcade game. If you like arcade style sports you will love Virtua Athlete, but if you want a much deeper game with lots of options then go for Sydney 2000 or Int. Track & Field.
I've seen better... I've played quite alot of sports games in my time but this has got be the worst yet.
The events look nice enough, but when it comes to gameplay the game really falls. I found the single player element disapointing, the multiplayer side seemed unbalanced.
I have played both this and Sydney 2000, and Sydney 2000 was far superior. If you are thinking or which to buy, dont go with this disapointing effort.
