The official video game of the Games of the XXVII Olympiad held in 2000 in Sydney, Sydney 2000 , includes 32 nations competing in 12 events across 6 sports. The events are divided into Athletics, Aquatics, Kayak K1 Slalom, Super Heavyweight Weight Lifting, Skeet Shooting, and Three-man track cycling pursuit.
Gameplay involves button mashing and strategic use of controls to achieve success. In most events, building up strength or speed is achieved by pressing the two power buttons, with an additional third button setting specific actions like jumping or throwing angles. Other events require alternative control methods, such as Slalom where timing key presses can help navigate obstacles, Diving which involves following a sequence of keys, and Skeet where directional controls aid in aiming.
The Olympic mode allows players to build their athlete from national open trials to the Olympics. By completing training drills in the Cyber Gym, athletes increase their abilities through Citius, Altius, Fortius , as outlined in the Olympic Motto. Before competing, players must defeat national, continental, and international opponents.
