This is hands-down the best event in Bejing 2008, the Olympics video game for XBox 360. It literally feels like you've run 1500m when you finish. And multi-player is super fun, because everyone tries to surge and then block others.
My PB is 3:33.59 so far. Anyone beat that? Oh, my 800m is 1:46.19
I was thinking of getting this game but I didn't want to shell out $60 for it. Is it any fun? Can you play as elite runners, or do you just play as a random dude?
i ran 3:28 for the 1500 and 1:45 for the 800 .. it is a fun game
my pbs are 1:38.28 and 3:22.11
It's pretty frickin fun, especially 1500, 800, high jump.
New PB 3:29.16 OR!!!
so are you still just a random dude, or are there actual athletes in the game, a la Maurice Greene in EPSN Track and Field?
You're just a random dude. And the 1500m runners are way too big.
Alan Webb and Nick Symmonds beg to differ.
What if they had the hot dog eating contest for Nintendo Wii? Would you have to eat the remote?
you could always rent it.
Is there a chock mode for Webb?
no, but there might be a choke mode.
yes, and then when I came up from my mother's basement, and she asked me why a 30 year old man never has a date, I realized that it was because I play video games all day in my mother's basement. Wow!!
yea, because anyone who plays video games is a pathetic loser. Its impossible to enjoy them in healthy doses, without getting too into it and still being a functioning member of society.
