International Athletics

Wii games, using the Motion Plus as their primary source of fun, sometimes turn out to be a flailing contest, to say the least. A host of genres have also made their appearance on the console, giving gamers the chance to act out any situation in their living room. Well, Ghostlight will now give gamers that chance to run, jump and throw their way into the record books with International Athletics. Also being released on the PSP and DS, it promises to be the most realistic athletics game ever released for the Wii.


The game promises to accurately represent the 14 main events at an athletics grand prix, and gamers will be able to compete in 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m, 110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and even rapid fire pistol shooting and archery.


It boasts a superior control system and character animation, and promises to deliver competitive A.I, in settings ranging from Canada, France and Spain, through to Japan to China. With a multiplayer mode supporting up to 4 players, competitive times can be set in Decathlon, Tournament and Quick Event modes.


If Ghostlight delivers on their promises, it is sure to be one of the most exciting games to be released on the Wii this year. Well, at least in the athletics department. And no, a broom handle won’t help you in the javelin.
