Yes, yes, another button masher but is that a bad thing? I think not. This game offers up many hours of great multi-player fun over numerous events. Weren’t born with at least two fingers or just simply don’t enjoy excessive button mashing? Fret not; you too are catered for in this game with the analog stick and button timing events.
The only gripe I have with this game is that the current record holders names are not displayed (why? why!...) and this can lead to many hours of squabbling over who got the 9.5 sec 100m (and this will happen!).

p.s. this game is dirt cheap now, if you cannot find it in the bargain bins check what is propping the bargain bin legs up.
