Gunn Swim Team: The Game

I picked this game up because I knew that it will keep me active and maybe get into college. Also my parents made me. I already had Eichler Swim Team: The Game, which was easy and fun, so I thought this would be the same. Well I was wrong. It is incredibly hard and not fun at all.

Concept:
You swim over there. And back. Over and over again. Just so you can go to a meet, where you swim over there. And back. 1/10

Graphics:
The water is amazing and almost looks like real life. Too bad after 500 yards your vision starts to blur. 7/10

Story: Your parents make you swim and you go almost willingly. You find out it is terrible and is all the time so it ruins your social life. 1/10

Gameplay:
The controls are solid, but get sloppier the more you swim. 5/10

Sound:
The buzzer of a race starting. The cheering and booing of a crowd. You gasping for air. Your heart pounding. A voice screaming inside your head. Put all of these in a blender and turn it on. 2/10

Multiplayer: You can race your friends, but who cares? They always win. 3/10

Rent or Buy:
Neither. But you insist, rent it for a few days of Hell.

Overall: Very hard, tiring, cold, and helps you lose your mind, health, and life. 4/10
