ESPN Winter - button mashing at it's finest

[Neo]

Yesterday I picked up a copy of ESPN International Winter Games. Should have rented it first... Many of the events require you to do nothing else but enter button combos. With snowboarding for example, you don't control the motion of the player with the analog stick or anything; it's all automatic. You just wait until the athlete reaches the top of the half-pipe where you enter in a button sequence in the hopes of pulling off a combo.

Same with figure skating - you don't control where the skater goes. You just enter combos when it prompts you to do so. And since there are only three song routines to choose from, it gets old fast.

The only buttons you use for speed skating are X and O. That's it. You alternate tapping them as fast as you can for a couple laps.

Don't even get me started on curling..
