		Every four years the Winter Olympics draw millions of people around the world to their television sets to watch the top athletes of the world compete for the gold, silver, and bronze medals in a variety of different sports.
		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is a collection of different mini-games.
		While ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 provides fun for yourself or with another gamer, I would have preferred to have deeper gameplay instead of only using a few buttons per competition.

	Skiing - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In addition to their role in recreation and sport, skiing is also used as a means of transport by the military, and many armies train troops for ski warfare.
		Ski troops played a key role in retaining Finnish independence from Russia during the Winter War, and from Germany during the Lapland War, although the use of ski troops was recorded by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus in the 13th century.
		Recently, skiers and snowboarders have engaged in rivalry on and off the slopes, which is usually friendly and increases the notoriety of both sports; snowboarders often share hills with downhill skiers.

	ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 On GameVortex.com
		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 might not have the best graphics in the business, but if you're into Olympic-style games, you know you won't be gazing into the on-screen pixels anyway, because you'll be knee deep in gameplay.
		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is basically this year's effort to coincide with the Winter Olympics.
		Winter Sports 2002 is definitely one of the better Olympic Games on the market today, but could have been so much more if the time and effort would have been taken to create a masterpiece.

	PC Magazine: ESPN X Games Snowboarding 2002 ESPN International Winter Sports 2002
		ESPN X Games Snowboarding 2002 offers solid, realistic tricks with good physics and great background tracks, yet it is hampered by irritating controller combos, depressingly flat and lackluster graphics, and a strange lack of the most important thing of all—a sense of speed.
		ESPN International Winter Sports, on the other hand, is a badly outdated button masher.
		Though it's nice to see obscure sports such as curling and bobsledding in a game, marquee events such as skiing and snowboarding lack panache, and figure skating is a joke: With no direct control over the skater, you simply interject the big moves at a predetermined time by hitting a button when prompted.

	ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 for Xbox Review - Xbox ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 Review
		While ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 doesn't bear the official Winter Olympic license, it does feature many of the events that kept audiences fixated during late nights, such as bobsleigh, figure skating, and the relatively unknown curling.
		While ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is by no means the ugliest or worst sounding of games, it doesn't come close to matching what has already been produced on the Xbox, looking and sounding nearly identical in all regards to the PlayStation 2 version.
		Coupling lackluster graphics, a paltry selection of events, and shoddy controls, ESPN International Winter Sports can be recommended only to the most die-hard of winter game enthusiasts or those who desperately desire a throwback to the button-mashing gameplay of yesteryear.

		Winter Sports features a fairly good graphics engine that has its high and low points.
		However, the sound in Winter Sports is pretty decent and does have a couple of bright spots.
		Winter Sports is a decent game that falls short in some areas and rises in others.

	NGF: ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 Review
		This sort of computer-managed gameplay hearkens back to the earliest days of gaming, and comes off hopelessly dated in these days of sophisticated fighting and sports games, where complex series of maneuvers on the part of the player determine which of a range of moves (and levels of force) the onscreen character will perform.
		Once the trick is selected, you have to quickly press the control pad and the A and B buttons that match the command on screen to perform the trick.
		And the presence of so many duplicate events, while absenting newly popular Winter Olympic events like curling, is an unequivocally unforgivable oversight on the part of Konami, and one that cannot be stressed forcibly enough.

		Konami has been associated with video game Olympic style sports for over a decade, and now with the Utah hosted Winter Games just a few frozen months away we've got a game to tie into it.
		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 lacks the license to use any of the Olympic symbols, venues, and athletes.
		Though the omission of Winter Olympic powerhouses like Russia and China is troubling, the point is there are more than enough athletes to choose from.

	CNN.com - Review: 'ESPN International Winter Sports 2002' - January 17, 2002
		The game features some decent-looking re-creations of lots of different winter sporting arenas, but otherwise, nothin' fancy.
		A few of the button-mashing events suffer from the PS2 controller layout (making you reach for L1 as you're vigorously tapping [X] and [O] is evil), but otherwise, the control and timing the various events is rock-solid and simple to learn.
		"Winter Sports" is a solid, fun mix of mini-games directly descended from "Track & Field"'s royal lineage.

		And I'm sorry to say that ESPN International Winter Sports 2002, isn't that game to rekindle the Olympic spirit on your Playstation 2.
		Winter Sports, in a nutshell, offers you ten different events, more like mini-games, such as ski jumping, figure skating, curling, moguls, bobsled, downhill, slalom, half-pipe and speed skating.
		I don’t know if the producers forgot that this is the year 2002 not 1985.

		The polygonal models are very clean and are animated nicely in each of the various different sports though the animation of the clothing looks a little suspect.
		This makes sense since most of the winter sports aren't about building up power but more about timing, reflexes and finesse - anytime you have figure skating as an event, there's definitely a lot of finesse going on.
		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 is definitely one of those games that'll appeal to a pretty defined group of people.

		There's only room for one winter sports game on the winner's podium and this takes the Gold.
		The stereotype of curling is one of a sport perfected by Scotsmen with nothing better to do than bowl stones across ice while their mates ensure its path is smooth by scrubbing away at the surface with a broom.
		Like the very best Olympics games, ESPN Winter Sports excels in multiplayer, as the challenge of competing against mates will always prove more exciting than going face to face with a load of nobodies.

	ESPN - International Winter Sports 2002 at Psxa2z.com!
		Crisp graphics render the winter conditions realistically, letting you spray snow in the slalom or stare down the glare of ice that faces you in the treacherous bobsled run.
		The 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City inspired a lot of tie-ins and licensed material, but oddly enough one of the best 2002 Olympic-style sports games is based on the ESPN license and completely lacks Olympic rings, torches, and fanfare.
		The included events use clever but simple control schemes, and the basics of each event are explained with a tutorial designed to quickly teach you how to perform the necessary actions and go about the business of breaking records.

		Overview: The 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City inspired a lot of tie-ins and licensed material, but oddly enough one of the best 2002 Olympic-style sports games is based on the ESPN license and completely lacks Olympic rings, torches, and fanfare.
		But even without official Olympic magic, ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 wins a gold thanks to smooth and simple play.
		Although this title does bring some new, and often-times exciting, events to the winter sports arena on the Xbox, the PAIN in my hand and the lack of customization lead this title "downhill" (pun intended).

		ESPN International Winter Sports 2002, a Konami release for the Game Boy Advance, is a third-person arcade program that features 10 events, three competition modes, and a lot of challenge.
		The sound features some stock winter sports sounds, an announcer that counts down, and a variety of background music.
		It is one of two winter sports games released at this time of year, which is appropriate, considering the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City (in fact, the second title is Salt Lake City 2002 for Ubi Soft).

		ESPN INTERNATIONAL WINTER SPORTS 2002 is the latest continuation of Konami's Track & Field series, only this time it involves winter sports.
		ESPN:IWS 2002 contains 10 different winter sport events, which includes Ski Jumping (K90 and K120), Downhill Alpine Skiing, Freestyle Skiing, Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Luge, Biathalon, Halfpipe Snowboarding, and Downhill Snowboarding.
		While Luge and Speed Skating are classic button-mashers, the rest of the events deal require precise timing in order to succeed, including the excellent Figure Skating, which is a decent knock-off of Dance Dance Revolution.

		Graphically, Winter Sports delivers enough slick visuals to gloss you past the nauseating athlete close-ups, while the audio track features an odd combination of low-key sound effects and what can only be described as elevator music.
		Thankfully, ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 upholds the tradition nicely with a diverse selection of events that should keep you---playing solo or with a friend---competing for hours.
		In all, Winter Sports is one of those "universally fun" titles that gaming fans of all genres can take to instantly.

	ESPN International Winter Sports 2002 Review - GameCube
		The Olympics are in full swing and gamers can challenge their own style of abilities on the console platforms available.
		Combine arcade gaming with some of the top winter games available, then add a solid graphics’ package and you has the GameCube release of International Winter Sports 2002 from Konami.
		This is not a game that delves deep into the heart and soul of the competition, but rather gives players – with simplistic, but challenging – opportunities to best the courses and obstacles provided.
