New International Track & Field (DS)

 

The formula that most track-and-field games follow was established in the early '80s with Track and Field. The majority of events demanded that players slam alternately on two buttons as fast as they possibly could, a controller-breaking maneuver that...

New International Track & Field Nintendo DS Review

 

This latest Track and Field game features 24 events, including six from the original 80s arcade game, a few from its coin-op follow-up Hyper Sports and several new ones. These vary, ranging from running events (100 meter dash, 100 meter hurdles) to...

Tons of events, multiplayer options and online world record boards, a great presentation that tips its hat to the classic arcade Track and Field

Single-cartridge downloadable play is too limited and takes a while to set up, the action is hard to see while you're mashing buttons or dragging the stylus

Track and Field couldn't find a better time to make a comeback. Konami's classic arcade experience arrives just when the Beijing 2008 games are about to take place. The main difference here, however, is that New International Track and Field is way...

Controlling the play

With so much variation, you would think that there would be a large variation in the control system between each event. This is certainly not the case. Now, one might think this is a good thing. Similar controls make the game simpler to pick up and...

Nostalgic it ain't

I had fond memories of the old classic and was led to beleive that I could enjoy the fun all over again, but the controls aren't implemented well at all which makes success a bonus and failure the norm. Nothing like the original where success was the...

One of the best game for the NDS

This is a must have for any nds owner. Not only it is fun to play alone but it is a great party game as well. I will put it number 2 after Mario Kart. Just make sure you have a screen protector...and do not play it everyday or your arm will hurt. You...

The other reviews are so right. Fun game, but too small of a screen to truly enjoy it

Fun!!

 

Fun!!

I just started playing this game so I have not even unlocked all the characters or events yet, but from what I have seen so far this game is a lot of fun. You choose different characters to compete in four events in one group of events like track and...

Record-breaker or also-ran?

You see, this arcade machine is responsible for countless instances of player injury, largely due to the fact that the participant was called upon to hammer the buttons as quickly as possible to replicate the superhuman effort required to excel at...
