The 2012 London Olympics is
right around the corner, and as one would expect, the massive media
coverage, and the hype prior to the event has started to build up. To
further increase excitement among users, Neowiz Internet has launched a game for the Android as well as the iOS
platform, showcasing certain events of the game. Authentic London
venues will be found within the game, with 9 different events to choose
from. These events include 100m running, 110m hurdles, 100m freestyle
swimming, 100m butterfly swimming, Archery, Pole Vault, Double Trap,
Triple Jump, and Kayaking. Users can select from three different modes
to play from namely Training, Olympic, and Challenge.
The app is available in a free and "premium" version for both Android and iOS; however, there's no gargantuan difference between the two. While all features across the apps are similar, the premium version comes with 3000 stars and 5 max stamina points, which are worth over Rs 300 ($6). This app isn't for you, if you are not the one to indulge in micro transactions within the game. Either way, it’s good to have a game representing Olympics, to bring out the true spirit of the games.
