Crazy Athletics Summer Sports And Games Review Cons:

An anger-inducing noise every time you fail.
Long time to set the race back up.
The control scheme is really bad and not very accessible for players.
It’s not that fun at all due to the controls, layout, etc.
No online modes.
Doesn’t offer a practice mode right off the back.
Events just tell you the controls (which are always the same) and not how the event works or what triggers a pass or fail.
Single-player starts as a running event and you can do nothing until you pass it.
Feels like a mobile game with its menus and icons.
You fail more than you succeed and you get no feedback on why it’s failed.
The failed notification takes long enough to pop that you believe you did the event.
