Sega’s bet
Again, under Sega’s arm comes to us Tokyo Olympics 2020, a kind of sports arcade with eighteen tests well differentiated to put us at the top of the Olympic spirit. As we said before, we are facing a game purely arcade, and who seeks pleasure rather than realism or fidelity, a full celebration of the Olympic Games themselves.
We will start by creating our “avatar” with a surprisingly comprehensive editor and it turned out. We can customize things like leg length, muscles, or various facial details. We will also unlock different outfits for each test and costumes with more than one surprise, good job in this aspect by Séga.
Another detail to take into account is the graphic aspect, a very “cartoon” look, but with a very dignified level of detail. The game it looks and moves quite well, and it is very colorful and showy. The whole is very solid, the look of the cartoon house with arcade gameplay, everything goes hand in hand, a success.
As for the sound section, from the start the celebratory tone of the game is highlighted. Already with the official anthem played at the beginning, from the sounds of the menu, accompanied by the voices (in Spanish), everything is measured to give the feeling of what it is, a sports party. Once at work, different sound effects accompany each test, also giving us sound tracks for knowing when to press the button or perform a certain action. Everything is ready for give maximum ease to the player, correct, but without over-emphasizing.
Eighteen different sports disciplines
The list is long and varied, with an inclusion that may raise some doubts, but generally well selected. For example, there is football and basketball, if you are already on the road this may work, but having FIFA Yes NBA 2K… Obviously, it doesn’t reach the level of these, due to the very nature of the game. That’s why we said that these sports can squeak a bit, or there are others that do. in Europe they don’t have many fans,
Some sports they are not easy to introduce into the world of video games, and in general they are well resolved. We have the typical classic button crusher tests, like the 100m smooth, must be included. There is others with more depth, although still arcade tone.
