Summer Athletics Reviews

Fun overall, hard game to make fun ill say that. Graphics suck but fun overall 7/10

It's a very fun olympic game if your into sports i recommend it. The graphics aren't the best but it works. There is one problem though, of you press the windows button it automatically exits out of the game.

I want a refund because the game was fun but after a couple day all of the events didnt work like when I tried any jump events the keys would not work. So You all need to fix it.

Game force closing :( why i am not able to go back to another screen while playing this ? The game force close if change the active screen from game to something else.

Worst Game ever not responding to gamepad and keyboard is not possible to make good results

It is a reasonable game, but I think it's too expensive. You have a choice of a lot of different sporting events, which you can also combine in 1 game, but next to that it is a rather limited game. I would give it a 3,5/10

Pretty decent game considering its age. Just fills a gap whilst waiting for someone to make an up to date athletics game that doesn't include cartoon characters. Would wait for a sale though, not worth it at full price.

Summer Athletics 2009 includes indeed a lot of different sport events, but the differences between them leave a lot to be desired. The new coop- and splitscreen multiplayer-modes are also fairly amusing, but overall there is too little innovation.

I am a pole vaulter at the D1 college level in the US. I bought the game, went straight to the pole vault event. Afterwards, brought in all of my roommates, (who are also my teammates,) and we sat down and did a decathlon. Never before have I seen all of my roommates so excited to try and outdo each other as much as when I bought this. We got a noise complaint and the 800m runner broke a blood vessel trying to win the 400. Beautiful game. Thank you devs.

It's not perfect by any means but the range of events is quite wide and there are far more than you first realise - various kinds of cycling, swimming, jumping, running, and throwing stuff. You win shiny things, and break records and your keyboard. It ran smoothly for me and some of the events had a bit of a learning curve. It suffers from some lazy moments (did it have to be rushed out for the Beijing Olympics, I wonder?) but is basically fun. It's certainly not presented in '3D comic style' - more 'trying to be real but not quite getting there because we don't have the money' style. Nor is it worth £15.99 - get it on sale. Until then, watch me butcher it!
