Here's a General Breakdown of the Game:

(I've got Gold in every category against the super scaling AI)

EVENTS:

- 100m Race: Awsum, very straight forward and progression of difficulty is perfect. Made me feel like Usain Bolt.

- Boxing: Hot Pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in terms of progression of difficulty. First two fights I basically fought toddlers. I'm talking absolute smack down and then in the finals I fight the enemy from Rocky except my training before the fight is two Pilates classes and a DVD set of beginners boxing I never opened. Took me a good 30 minutes of slamming my desk until I won.

- Table Tennis: Same steaming hot pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. What kind of freak of nature do they make the AI in half these things?

- Hammer Throw: Satisfying and to the point. Me throw rock far, very rewarding.

- Tennis: Same as Table Tennis, Finals take forever and in doubles I keep hitting my woman partner and losing points.
It's pretty much a 3v1. My thumb was completely indented, near blistered and bleeding by the time I finally won.

- Soccer: Fifa's inbred baby meets that one Mario Soccer Game that was really good. Janky controls. Not that difficult.

- Long Jump: A good level of difficult but satisfying when you time everything. Requires a lot of practice.

- 110m Hurdles: Controls could've been way better for this event, Gameplay suffers because of it.

- Basketball: I am Steven Curry in this game-mode. Not Stephen, Steven.

- Volleyball: Actually pretty aight, difficulty progression is pretty great.

- BMX: No. Just no. Best I got was a bronze medal, half the time it wouldn't recognize what I was trying to do. AI just push you everywhere. Terrible.

Edit: after retrying it for 5 minutes I got gold. I still find the controls janky and the AI annoying though. Not as hard as I remembered to get gold though.

- Judo: I didn't understand the game that much mostly because I have never seen it before but it's probably one of the easiest events in the game.

- Baseball: Very fun and satisfying, yet the Finals are very frustrating. Once you get the hang of the controls its awesome though.

- Rugby: Once you get the hang of the controls, it's a cakewalk. Even in the finals.

- Sport Climbing: Once of the most difficult ones. I needed to cheese the AI by pausing every move and then adjusting to make sure each move was perfect. Took about 15 minutes.

- 4x100m Relay: Should've done the 100m controls because this one is janky af. Best medal I got was bronze.

Edit: I worked on this one and after reading some of the guides that I did miss, I found it quite easy to achieve to gold medal. I was wrong on my first impression. However, I do believe the gamemode would have been much more fun if they incorporated the 100m dash controls along with the same baton pass controls.

- 100m Freestyle: Controls are meh, gratification is meh.

- 200m Individual Medley: Take's some practice, kinda rewarding, kinda not.

CUSTOMIZATION:

- Sanic "haha funny" if you are Redditor who is stuck in 2015.
- Some costumes are alright and can be funny if you use your imagination.
- There are speed/strength/technique abilities to choose from for your athlete. I just chose full speed, honestly never saw a difference in performance. Could just be me though.

GRAPHICS:

- Kinda nice tho

PRICE:

- Definitely too much for what it contains.


TLDR; I spent 8 1/2 hours (maybe I'll spend more) slamming my desk over the unnecessarily challenging AI and all I got was some virtual yellow medals.
Strong 6.5/10

Don't buy unless you got bread or it's on sale.

Edit:

Thank you for the awards, idk what they do but it feels like a reddit moment. I now have my avatar banned and it seems I have upset the sonic fandom, I do not apologize.

This game is a mix between the more realistic London Olympics game and the Mario/Sonic Olympic games. The game style is made for party play. Some of the new sports are a nice addition, but there are sports in the London game that I wish made a return. Nothing extraordinary, not worth $40, wait for sale.

The AI needs a rebalance. Qualifiers? AI is a baby. Semifinals? AI is a baby. Finals? The AI literally summons a God down in Human form, uses a few cheats to max every skill and sends them into the game. Its okay for some events that are hard but manageable. On the otherhand, events such as table tennis and sports climbing make me wanna throw my controller across the room

If you are looking for a sequel to the London 2012 then I wouldn't recommend this game. Not as realistic and doesn't have nearly as many games as the London 2012 game had. No cycling, shooting, archery, discus, etc.

If you are looking for something similar to the London 2012 game this isnt it. Very boring games. Very badly optimized for pc. Don't give them money please.

Free ✔️
Paying ❌

Game forces 60 and 30fps caps on you, alongside not allowing you to move your mouse cursor outside of the game if it's in focus. 40 dollars is also a ridiculously high price for a game like this.

This isn't 2010 anymore. PC ports shouldn't be this bare minimum.

I think many were expecting a track and field game for the Tokyo 2020 games. Here we have a mix of all sports "Athletics / Football / Basketball / Table Tennis / Boxing and many others. The only problem is that it lacks a lot of disciplines that could be found in London 2012. It's a game to pass the time, but nothing more. No world records to beat, no real challenge except if you play for the gold medal and even then it's quite easy to beat the computer on some disciplines once you've got the hang of it. Realism = 0. I managed to throw my hammer at more than 117m and frankly I don't like it. Yes I know it's an arcade style, but you have to choose the kind of game where it could fit the best. The AI is stupid, the handling is horrible, the only positive thing will be maybe the Online mode where you can compete with other players in the world having the game. For the rest, I think it's not worth buying, considering the price. It's once again taking advantage of an event to sell a sloppy product in my opinion.

Fat guy finishes 100m in 8.6 seconds

International Track & Field on PS1 was more advanced and technically more sophisticated than this game. The focus here is on quantity. There are all sorts of games from the typical hurdles to swimming to sports such as baseball or boxing. But none of the 18 mini-games feels right or good. The controls are too simple or offer too few options. I know that basketball can't feel like NBA2K and I don't expect that, but it's not mature enough for my taste. The games all feel very cheap. It's just not fun. If you play against NPCs, they are way too easy in the qualifying round and suddenly aimots are way too strong in competition. No Olympus or Summer Sports Game is as good as the International Track & Field published in 1996 ... And that after 30 years. Konami knew how to make games.

International Track & Field auf der PS1 war im Vergleich zu diesem Spiel fortschrittlicher bzw technisch viel ausgereifter. Hier steht Quantität im Fokus. Es Allerlei Spiele vom typischen Hürdenlauf, übers Schwimmen bis hin zu Sportarten wie Baseball oder Boxen. Aber keines der 18 Minispiele fühlt sich richtig an, oder gut. Die Steuerung ist zu einfach, bzw. bietet zu wenig Möglichkeiten. Das Basketball sich nicht wie NBA2K anfühlen kann, ist mir klar und das erwarte ich auch nicht, aber für meinen Geschmack ist es nicht ausgereift genug. Die Spiele fühlen alle sehr billig an. Es macht einfach keinen Spaß. Wenn man gegen NPCs spielt, sind sie in der Qualifikationsrunde viel zu einfach und im Wettbewerb auf einmal Aimbots die alles wegrotzten. Kein Olymp oder Summer Sports Game, ist so gut wie das 1996 erschienene International Track & Field...Und das nach 30 Jahren. Konami hatte es einfach drauf.
