I totally agree. I was completely hesitant to buy the game based on the tripe that conspiracy has "published." But I watched a couple of youtube clips and found out it was a sequel to a PC game, so I took a flyer and got it. The freaking game is the unmitigated hit of the holidays. I can't wait to get into it with my roommates.
Seriously, this is a game that will benefit from a second generation - online play would be sick. It looks like third party sellers are jacking up the price on Amazon - thats kinda a bummer, but you can probably buy it elsewhere.
My favorites in order are:
Curling
Figure Skating
Luge/Boblsed
Slalom.
Curling is the most fun, but figure skating is hilarious. Congrats to the german developers (49Games? RTL Games? I have no idea.)
Multiplayer is the best part, btw.
