International Track & Field

All the reviews that were negative we're written becuase they can't figure out how to work it. This game is simple and great.

Worst game ive ever bought in my life its a WASTE OF MONEY

This might actually be the worst app ever. EVER.

Slight Revision. I would agree that these games are not easy, but considering the sort of actions they are trying to replicate, I think they do quite well. Also, I believe they are trying to vary the sorts of actions required to make each one test slightly different skills (you know, like real sports). Of the five events, the pole vault is in fact the one I'm best at, achieving the second best in-game score. As the feet drop down the screen on the left and right you need to tap when they fill in the cirlces at the bottom. As the vaulter builds up speed those feet descend faster and faster so the timing becomes more difficult. When the feet stop you should look for the bars on each side which very quickly extend for the length of the screen. Now, you need to hold your fingers on both circles at the bottom as soon as they reach those circles. If you press too early you will get very little elevation and the bars will disappear; if you go too late the bars will appear and you will get a valid jump, but it will not be too high. The key is to press and hold as close to them reaching the bottom as possible. A great jump will see the bars extend from top to bottom of the screen. Now you'll see the bars turn color from top to bottom. You need to continue to hold until the color fills up about halfway, hold for just a moment and then let go (this is to replicate the flexing of the pole). The vaulter will be launched up towards the bar and you simply shake to get him over. No skill involved with the last move. As I mentioned, the pole vault is by far my best event and my favorite. The variety of moves, all depending on precise timing make it challenging but quite a bit of fun.

The hurdles are the only fun thing to do. It actually takes strength in your arm lol. Make all the running events like the hurdles where you scratch the screen as fast as possible instead of pressing buttons at a right time. Also add like a 400m run or something and make it 3rd person like the hurdles. Again hurdles are the only fun event. Just add more running events.
