Vancouver 2010 received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[19][20][21] IGN said of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, "If only this game had some semblance of a career mode or anything that felt slightly like the real Olympics, then perhaps SEGA would have had a real winner on its hands."[8] GameSpot said of the same console versions, "The limited selection of events leaves these Olympic Games out in the cold."[5]

gollark: I mean... maybe?
gollark: Oh, you mean "have people externally label a page", not "have the pages have pointers to an external service".
gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
gollark: If you make it rely on explicit annotations, nobody will actually do this.
gollark: For instance, the scripting language is Lua, storage is... SQLite..., pages are also Lua table notation, and headers are Lua table notation too.
