Athens 2004 - Good Sports Game

Athens 2004 is a good sports game, but you have to know also here that many disciplines by quickly pressing the X and O - are controlled buttons. However, there are disciplines that require skill (Ex .: Show jumping, archery, clay pigeon shooting, high jump, some gymnastic disciplines). Especially a lot of fun making this game, of course, with 4 players (multitap required). The graphics are ok and the replica of the original sports facilities is also ok
Now the downside of the game: Why is it the programmers failed to conjure up a medal a la Summer Games, to me is a big mystery. There are, if you play the big race with all disciplines, points like a decathlon (which you can also play) awarded. Also there is no opening ceremony, which suggests yet miss the atmosphere of the Olympic Games. In addition, one is quickly at the maximum power in some disciplines arrived (Ex .: long jump, pole vault, 1500m - run), because there are no more than 1200 points strangely. The number of participants is limited to 4 players, with 8 players (in the Summer Games went but also) it would be even better.
Conclusion: All in all, a must for sports fans, but only 4 stars because of some disadvantages.
