In Beijing 2008: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games, players will embrace the competitive spirit of the world's most prestigious sporting event and represent their country as they compete for the highest honor--the Gold Medal. Appearing on next generation consoles, the game promises to deliver a far more entertaining and immersive Olympic experience with superior graphics capturing the detail of each event where a fraction of a second means the difference between winning and losing. With brand new gameplay mechanics challenging their speed, time and coordination, players will strive to break records alone or with up to seven friends online as they lead the US team to victory in 38 authentic Olympic events. This summer, everyone will want to show their patriotism and bring home the Gold.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Beijing Olympics 2008
I bought it for my daughter's laptop, unfortunately her system will not run the game, even though it states it will run on Windows XP. She does however play it on my desktop which is also running Windows XP. She enjoys the game.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible Controls
Lots of potential but has a terrible control system. I bought this game mainly for the track and field portion and while the graphics were very nice the controls (or lack thereof) makes it impossible to be competitive.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Bejing Olympics 2008
I don't know how fun this game is and I can't give an overall rating because this game requires me to purchase a high end video card that would also require me to shell out $150 or more. When selling these video games, it would be nice to know if it is compatible with the system that I have. I am not pleased with my purchase.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 10/10
This Is The Only Computer Game I Can Play And I Love It.It Has So Many Events And I Love Each Of Them.It's Great Once You Have Everythink.If You Have A Playstation 2 But Want To Play This Game And Your Computer Dose Not Meet The Standerds Try Athens 2004 For Playstation 2.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - If I had only known...
I bought this as a present for my son, a bit worried because I could not find out the necessary computer specs ahead of time. Turns out it requires 1 gb of RAM--my son has been playing lots of other sports games with just 256 RAM. So we couldn't even load the game. Now I see from the other review that we might need lots of other things we haven't got.... My son is very disappointed.
