Ahh, I remember playing this game as a kid on the PS2. It was one of only a few games we had. Oddly fun, haven't found another game like it since. Most games like this have just disappeared and Steam always acted as if they would never see the light of day again despite it being old... I never saw why games like this faded away when clearly other games had made it to modern day PC (other older games). I assumed it had something to do with Sony. It seems more likely that it might turn up on GOG (I'm hoping as I would still play it as I use to play it a lot- so did my family- however, I sadly no longer have a working PS2 to play it on anymore. I remember having some laughs in this game or watching my family members have turns at each event for fun. I think my favourite was the equestrian test.
Without a shadow of doubt this is the best Olympics game that has ever been released, I spent many hours with the lads just button bashing and beating each others world records, I would definitely purchase this game should it ever become available again
Unfairly forgotten. We need one of the classic sports game - this one, or Sydney 2000, or game about Ski, or biathlon. I don't remember all titles. But all of them were fun.
Those games also need your vote!

With a white-knuckled grip on the wheel, you'll have the choice of 23 crash mobiles (from a terrifying monster truck to a high octane Dragster) and 30+ levels of hellish fury and motorized terror.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 redefined an already great game. Its addition of stellar new features (like Create-A-Park), and great game-play tweaks (the manual maneuver will be copied for years to come) made it the best installment in a killer series of games. Anyone who has ever skated the Philadelphia level will agree -- this game is a masterpiece of level design. Hell, it's a masterpiece all around. There isn't a bad park or dull moment, just pure gaming nirvana!

Jet Set Radio Future
Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.

ParaWorld
ParaWorldThe game-concept is similar to "Age of Empires", which is a real-time strategy game. ParaWorld features food, wood, and stone as resources. Food can be picked from bushes, hunted from animals, fished from the sea, or farmed. Stone is located in limited deposits, and wood, cut from trees, is generally scattered throughout a map. Battles can occur on both land and sea. The story takes place in a parallel dimension, where prehistoric life thrives alongside diverse human civilizations that are not technologically advanced. As a result, dinosaurs take the place of traditional wildlife and livestock, though some of the dinosaurs in-game are highly stylized and not necessarily scientifically accurate. Wild-living dinosaurs can be hunted for food, though some are of dangerous and aggressive species and will attack any player unit that wanders too close. Other prehistoric creatures make an appearance as well, for example woolly mammoths are used where other games might feature elephants. Players advance through epochs in order to unlock new technologies and upgrades.
