I actually didn't mind the simple arcade style gameplay because it was reminiscent of "Summer Games," a game I played often in my youth on a system that I adored.

With total presentation so lackluster, it's just disappointing overall.

The graphics are the one high point of this downhill slalom, they are neither innovative nor gorgeous enough to save this title from the abysmal control scheme and furious key tapping required to stay afloat in most of the events.

The graphical quality of this program makes it a sure-fire winner. What it lacks in some areas, it makes up for in others. If you are a fan of Olympic-style action, this is a must-have.

ITF is still a better game.

The problem is the gameplay. It's repetitive, it gets old quickly, it's redundant, it drones on and on, it's monotonous, it's unvaried and it's iterative.

Sydney 2000 can't even compete against the equivalent Commodore 64 game that's well over a decade old.

If you consider yourself even a casual gamer, don't be enticed by the pretty box: tap the buttons in your mind and run far, far away.
