The official video game of the Games of the XXVII Olympiad held in 2000 in Sydney. It includes 32 nations, going for gold in 12 events divided by 6 sports: Athletics (100m dash, 110m hurdles, hammer and javelin throw, triple jump and high jump), Aquatics (200m freestyle and 10m platform diving), Kayak K1 Slalom, Super Heavyweight Weight Lifting, Skeet Shooting and Three-man track cycling pursuit. All events feature 3D graphics with cameras that mimic the ones used in TV broadcasts.
Gameplay is similar to other sports games - button mashing is required in most events to build up strength/speed, with an additional third button setting the actions, such as jumping or throwing angle. Other events have alternate control methods, like Slalom (dodging gates) and Diving (following a sequence of keys).
Players can compete in arcade and 8-player action, or try to build their athlete from scratch by completing national open trials and then competing in the Olympics. As they progress, their athlete increases in ability: Citius, Altius, Fortius , as told by the Olympic Motto. Before joining the competition, players must beat national, continental, and international opponents.
