5In Olympic Gold you compete as one of eight countries in seven Olympic events. Events include 100m Dash, Hammer Throw, Archery, 110m Hurdles, Pole Vault, Diving, and 200m Freestyle Swimming. The graphics are beautiful with well animated characters. One thing this does that most similar games don't is that your choice of country has an impact on how well you do in an event. Diving and pole vault events feel impossible no matter what country you play as. I have never successfully pole vaulted! Ultimately it is a mediocre game with great graphics and confusing controls. Make sure to read the manual before playing.
