Bring Home the Gold!

Beijing 2008 will be an authentic simulation of over 35 events from the upcoming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and will allow gamers to experience the thrill of competing on PlayStation 3, in many of the official venues ranging from the famous Beijing National Stadium (the "Bird Nest") to the National Aquatics Center (the "Water Cube").
 

Features
Global Online Competition: Face challengers from other nations, compete in exhibition events, and track your progress on the leaderboards, which allow you to prove yourself before the world.
Capturing the Olympic Spirit: As the exclusive official videogame, Beijing 2008 offers an authentic look and feel of the Games, ultra-realistic recreations of the Beijing stadiums, and a chance to soak up the atmosphere from the Olympic host city in your own home.
In the Zone: Players are pulled right into the athlete's mind, getting them closer to the action and giving them time to accurately control every move.
In-Depth Olympic Games and Competition Modes: In Olympic Games mode, players organize their daily schedule and customize their national teams with agility, power, stamina, and speed for competition in 38 events. With up to three friends, players can participate in either single or multi-event challenges in Competition mode.
New Gameplay Mechanics: Controls vary across events, including a time-based system where timing, power and angle are essential, a rhythm-based method that requires increasing and sustaining speed, and a targeting system to aid players in accurately hitting targets.
Over Thirty Official Events and National Teams: Represent the country of your choice and compete in such sports as track and field, aquatics, gymnastics, cycling, judo, table tennis, and canoe-kayak for the highest honor across ten authentic-looking stadiums.

    4 of 5 Hit and Miss Wednesday, July 30, 2008
    Greg from Lansing, MI  

    The game plays pretty well save for a few modes. Online mode is somewhat difficult to get people to not lag. Although i must say that I like the competitiveness of being able to compare times with anyone. I like the vast choices of modes and games you can play. New game play is defiantly different than Athens 2004. I overall like the new mechanics better though except for the distance runs (draft for perfect health? c'mon). Graphics are lacking at some places, but the textures are very nice, so it is sometimes a trade off. Some will be able to tell it isnt 720p native.
