ESPN Winter Sports 2002

ESPN Winter Sports 2002
Consider...ESPN Winter Sports 2002 will have more events than Eidos' Salt Lake 2002 (10 vs. 6), and a better VARIETY of events (downhill, slalom, 4-man bobsled, snowboarding (halfpipe), 90 and 120m ski-jumping, freestyle moguls, 500m speedskating, ladies' figure skating and men's curling) vs. SLC 2002's multiple variations on skiing (men's downhill, women's slalom, men's snowboard parallel GS, women's freestyle aerials, 120m ski jumping and 2-man bobsled). It has only 2 game modes vs. SLC 2002's four, and the lack of a create-a-player feature will hurt, but I think this will be the better game. Konami's forays into the PS2 sports videogame realm have been hit and miss, mostly miss, with the exception of MLS Extra Time, the best soccer title of the 2000-01 season. Sure, SLC 2002 will have the actual venues of the Winter Games, but if you had a choice between seeing the venues and playing a diverse series of competitions, what would you buy?
