Right, let me just tell you off the bat, if you are looking for a game with a long story line, then go and at another review. I you are however looking for a game that makes you feel a pang of longing for the summer of sport to return then keep reading.
With 36 playable countries and 31 events, with a couple only playable with multiplayer or co-op. This is a game that, despite the tiny "story mode", will have you coming back to beat high scores of your previous runs or you can compete against the online leaderboards available for all events. As I said earlier the "story mode" is very short taking no more that 3 hours, now that may sound very short but, let me explain. You play through 9 days of sports, each day you are given 6 sporting options to chose from and you have to pick 2 events. So you can play the mode 3 times and still play it differently, although that isn't a massive claim to fame these days. The thing you will want to play over and over again is the mode in which you can choose up to 8 events and then go through in a playlist formation.
You can also play with other people via a split screen mode, or, as I said, with other player around the world. This is a brilliant-yet competitive-version of the game. Although this game has plently on offer the high repetitive nature of the game can get very irritating.
So in conclusion this is a very good game with some good graphics and good modes but not masses of replay ability, so onto the score.
Graphics: Very good graphics with few problems, well rounded, the water is astounding. 9/10
Sound: There is no lip syncing so little challenge. 9/10
Multiplayer: Easy to mannage menues, when someone else choses the events they can be your worst. 8/10
Legnth: Tiny campaign, a wealth of extra features but they get very repetive. 6/10
Gameplay: All the controls are easy and well explained, the running, swimming and throwing feel good. 9/10
Which gives a grand total of 8/10, a good sports game but some thoughts for improvement for the Rio 2016 game when it comes out.
