Against all odds, the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: Official Video Game is one of the best arcade sports titles we’ve seen in years. An excellent character creator, great array of minigames, and a shocking degree of depth elevate this title far above its competition. You might not be able to attend the Olympics this year, but the official videogame is not to be missed out on.
That's really the biggest failing of Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - it can't stand up to its own Mario-themed competition. It's difficult to see why anyone with a Nintendo Switch would lean towards this official game over its mascot-filled counterpart. Both games accomplish their goals as fun party games featuring arcade-y recreations of a handful of sports.
Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game falls short of SEGA’s plumber and hedgehog-starring effort, but still houses a decent number of surprisingly meaty and fun arcade-y events. With both a meaningful single-player option and four-player local missing in action though, your interest in the game may be over before the global event has even reached its end.
