    It's a fun enough game, reminiscent of Wii Sports back in the day, the single-player is fun across most of the sports. The downside is the online mode. I have great wired in connection and the lag is unreal as the game tries to sync servers from all over the world. This would be less of a problem if so many of the games weren't rhythm action games.

The timing is so precise, the fractions knock you off the timing. I had one successful no lag play when all of the other players were automated, but even one player from a different time zone skews terribly into unplayable lag.

    + Great single player/local player arcade sports game

    I was so happy when I saw this game included on the PS Now but my happiness ended very soon as I started play it. A lot of sports are missing (diving, kayak, rowing, archery...) and other sports doesn't looks great with such an simplified mechanics like baseball or football. On other sports such as hammer throw doing a perfect theow will automatically result in a new world record but ifI was so happy when I saw this game included on the PS Now but my happiness ended very soon as I started play it.

In the end you gonna play this game for a couple of days or slighery more if you play with some friend as a "party game".… Expand

    Squeezing almost twenty sports into one package so that everyone is lively and functional, turned out to be too difficult for the creators. Unfortunately, the game is a lifeless, unbalanced, and the price is exorbitant.

    The base is solid, so are the minigames, but the resulting experience just isn’t deep enough for you to care about for more than a few hours. There’s no career mode and, what’s even more inexplicable, local multiplayer only supports two players. At least there’s a solid editor.

    There’s an extra layer of complexity behind events such as judo that the quick and clear tutorials don’t let on about. This means it’s a game that welcomes people of all ages and skill levels, and allows them to play together. That’s the hashtag Olympic spirit! [Issue#4, p.77]
