Fun at face-value with significant underlying depth, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 – The Official Video Game bursts off the blocks at lightning speed and doesn’t break stride, pushing for gold and delivering a fun experience along the way. With clean and crisp visuals and gameplay that’s easy to learn and more intense to master, the only jarring thing about it is seeing crowds of people huddled together in the audience – but that could be the 2020 shellshock speaking.
The official game to the biggest sports event in the world offers an interesting variety of events to compete in, both online and offline. The controls are surprisingly varied and easy to pick up. The cartoony style might not be to anyone's taste, but the many customizations and wild outfits are a fun note.

Divertido, tiene atletismo, natación, y por vez primera en este tipo de juegos hay deportes de conjunto como fútbol y beisbol. Hay box, ciclismo, bastante completo. Muy fácil de jugar y divertido en multijugador. Por el costo le doy 10

SEGA tried to give a fresh spin to the classic multievent Olympics game and mostly did. The mix of arcade vibes and quite unusual choices in terms of disciplines works well and the game is fun, but its structure is pretty lacklustre and multiplayer is too much limited to shine properly.
Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is a great sports game but only a decent Olympics game. Nearly all of the 20 (or is it 16?) events offer an enjoyable enough time and only a few are bogged down by mechanics, but once you’ve played them all a couple of times, you’re done. If you dabble in the two player mode regularly or find a game online, it could be a deeper experience, but it just feels like the trimmings aren’t quite there. I won the boxing gold medal as a bunny rabbit maid with blue hair though, so there’s that.
Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is a good game that features a variety of good-to-decent events and a wonderful ability to play alongside friends. The inconsistency of the game’s design with controls and the difficulty arc that spikes hurt the game but aren’t dealbreakers.
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.
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.
Overall, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is an above-average game that is plagued by some flaws, but it also excels in the pros thanks to its low genre competition, quality of craftsmanship, some fun and a nice price.

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 if you slightely miss the perfect the result will be 30/40 meters lower. 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".

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
- Online and ranked modes are currently unplayable

Very bad. Just some mini games thrown into an Olympic Games arcade game. Gameplay is obnoxious. OBNOXIOUS. Why wouldn't you put some effort in this kind of games and create a simulation with good gameplay? Was done before on 90s console, could be done again Don't spend money for this.

Crappy game. Cartoony and with hundreds of sports that nobody cares about. We already have many futbol, baseball, tennis games, we want more athletism
I hope someday somebody make good olympic games again, like ESPN sports, Hyperolympic, Atlanta 96, and many others.
Stop the crappy cartoony and Marios and Sonics make out in the olympic games
