The start of the 2008 Olympic games in Bejing is just days away and the videogame industry is capitalizing on the event as expected. Game publisher Ghostlight brings us one of the first 2008 Olympics-inspired game on handhelds called International Athletics. International Athletics is not directly connected to the 2008 Olympic Games but it promises to provide an experience that’s fitting to the event. The game is out right now for PSP and the DS version will ship at an unannounced date.
International Athletics prides itself on concentrating on four essential disciplines of Olympic sporting events including running, jumping, throwing, and shooting. The game allows you to fully customize your athlete and pit them in competition in a career mode or against friends in a 4-player multiplayer mode.
Ghostlight doesn’t specifically say whether the multiplayer function is played online, locally, or both but scores and achievements can be uploaded to a leaderboard to see who is the world’s greatest virtual athlete. Successfully completing events and earning medals will unlock new venues and events in the game.
Persona 4 is simply a stunning, engaging and wonderfully crafted RPG with plenty of player interaction, interesting dungeons and a fantastic story. It will easily be the PS2’s swansong.
