Do you want to experience how it feels to be part of the Winter Olympics live but don’t have enough money to go to Vancouver? Get a feel of it through Sega’s latest videogame on Facebook!
The Vancouver 2010 Official Minigame on Facebook allows players to choose from four popular events played in the winter games: Snowboard cross, Ski jumping, Short track speed skating, and the Giant Slalom.
Snowboard Cross is a motocross-inspired game wherein racers start concurrently on top of an inclined course combine turns, gap jumps, drops, steep inclines, and flat sections while attempting to reach the finish line first.
In Ski Jumping, the skier launches him or herself from a ramp and soars at about a hundred meters. He or she will then be required to land at the target area which is marked by a line.
Short track speed skating has four racers that compete around an oval ice track. The player who reaches the finish line first will wins the game.
The Giant Slalom involves zigzagging between red and blue gates while racing head to head with rivals.
In this game, you can choose the country you want to represent and the difficulty level (normal, hard, expert). Just like in the real Olympics, you get to be rewarded with gold, silver, or bronze medals depending on your performance. You can also invite your friends to play the game and post high scores on your wall.
These mini-games are actually the Facebook version of the games made for Xbox 360, personal computers, and PlayStation 3.
Feel the excitement now and go for gold! (Click HERE to play.)
