I bought it for my daughter's laptop, unfortunately her system will not run the game, even though it states it will run on Windows XP. She does however play it on my desktop which is also running Windows XP. She enjoys the game.
Rating: - Terrible Controls
Lots of potential but has a terrible control system. I bought this game mainly for the track and field portion and while the graphics were very nice the controls (or lack thereof) makes it impossible to be competitive.

I don't know how fun this game is and I can't give an overall rating because this game requires me to purchase a high end video card that would also require me to shell out $150 or more. When selling these video games, it would be nice to know if it is compatible with the system that I have. I am not pleased with my purchase.

I bought this as a present for my son, a bit worried because I could not find out the necessary computer specs ahead of time. Turns out it requires 1 gb of RAM--my son has been playing lots of other sports games with just 256 RAM. So we couldn't even load the game. Now I see from the other review that we might need lots of other things we haven't got.... My son is very disappointed.
