Well, according to his commercials, it'll be more like 60 seconds, right?

I don't hate the guy, but I think his talent lies solely in the water. It's painful to see his acting on commercials and SNL. SO NOT DYNAMIC.

Hell of a swimmer though, that's for damn sure.

"I don't hate the guy, but I think his talent lies solely in the water"

So he is just as useless as Aquaman but without the funny looking spandex? (although the one at the Olympics was pretty close)

I don't hate him personally, but I hate the corporate marketing juggernaut behind him.

I don't hate him, but he is certainly the most over-rated athlete of our generation. How many other athletes have the opportunity to essentially do the same event 7 different times?

It's simple: he's popular, and he seems to be everywhere. Thus he is a douche.

don't hate the guy because he achieved something nobody in the history of the olympics has ever done. dude's making his bank for being awesome at swimming and making a name for himself.

the game will suck since i don't see an entire game around swimming, and i agree that his acting / social skills leave a lot to be desired, but he should still milk his success because what else will swimming get him?

it happens to everyone... any big achiever (sports or video games) will always have its share of bashing.

though i would rather hear him say that he's in a video game because he thinks it'd be cool to be in one rather than because he wants to milk out as much money as he can. surely i'd imagine he's pretty well loaded already.

To be fair, it is lame that swimming means you can get so many medals.

I'm sure if they had the 5lb, 10lb, 15lb, 20lb, 30lb and Relay Shotput, or the 25m, 50m, 100m, Rapidfire, Overhand, Underhand, Double Arrow Archery, you would see more people getting 5+ medals.

It is lame that so many distances and strokes count as separate contests for what is really one event. They could make 20 swordfighting events, but they don't.

@ WiNG:

You make a good point. I look forward to the fencing event where they hold the swong by the blade instead.

Don't hate the guy just for being a good swimmer.

Though I think the title of this post is appropriate - 60 mins is the max anyone will play this game for before coming to the conclusion that they hope they still have the receipt.

I hate that he's considered a good athlete when he was just born with a freaky body that makes him a perfect swimmer.

Dude's still good at what he does.....but look at him. I'm more impressed that the normal human being tied with him that one time. That had to be rough to do for someone who doesn't have fish genes.

I hope its a sandbox swimming game in when you rescue little hurt baby seals and pet them back to safety =).


Then maybe PETA will stop bitching but if PETA somehow get pissed off then better I hate those douchebags.

k the guy won 8 gold medals, broke records, yah yah..
good news.. enough news already...

i wonder how the hockey, basketball, and other sport athletes feel about the greatest Olympian of all time claims the media makes about phelps.

for a b-ball player to win 8 gold medals it would take him 32 years of his life. (8 Olympics)
phelps was able to secure 8 medals in 8 years.

is this game going to be as bad as his SNL appearance?

I hope the game is an RPG or something, because
A) I can't imagine a swimming game consisting of anything other than "tap a button really fast" gameplay, and
B) how cool would a Michael Phelps RPG be?
