Very good for the nintendo. The characters in case you didn't notice are the same as the ones in River City Ransom (Crash is the main charecter from RCR with a different name), Dodge Ball, and almost every game from that great recycling plant called Namco. But, is that so bad when they are so far ahead of their time. Though the loop on the backgrounds are small (i.e. it doesn't take long going through a level before you see the same wall with the same graffiti, bricks,etc), I believe its because they are so well drawn they take up to much space to make each one unique. All in all this games only downfall graphics-wise is the intro scene, but it's the only movie scene in the game so you'll get over it.

Sound: 8
Only downfall of the game. Once again recycled from other Namco games, but unlike the graphics not really worth copying. Still though good for a nintendo game, and the soundtracks in certain events are rather catchy.

Gameplay: 10
Not exactly a pick up and play game, but not frustratingly hard either. If your a button mashing master like me you should fair well. But, unlike other olympic themed games, not every event of this game is button mashing; like swimming fights and rooftop jumping. All the games reguire time to master therefore you're team isn't going to grab the gold medal your first try, this fact makes youi want to spend alot more time on the game. Events include A hurdles event where contestants attempt to pummle, trip, kick and whatever it takes (including throwing the hurdles themselves)in order to win. Theres an event that combines hammerthrow with golf. A game where you pole vault and unicycle from one roof to another. A UFC style death match. A swimming event where the object is to drown your opponent, and a couple more I can't remember.

Overall: 10
Best replay value on the NES. Awesome game, GET IT NOW! Just one note, Jefferson is the best team to use even though they have the least significance to the story. Spreck and Clint are an unbeatable team.

If you love this game try River City Ransom.

Graphics are awesome (for nintendo of course). The backround imaging is really cool. It moves slower than other objects actually giving it some life like detail.

Sound: 8
Sound effects are a little out of touch, and the same with the music. Not bad though.

Gameplay: 9
A little hard to learn at first because you have to learn the controls for every challenge and I think that there are 5 challenges all-together which is kind of bad. Once you get the gameplay down though, it gets really fun.

Overall: 10
Overall, a great game. Probably the best sports type game i've ever played. It is a lot of fun (especially all the cool items you can buy like a man eating fish). It does get a little repetitive, but it really isin't quite that bad.

Have fun with it.
