Game modes include single player Olympic Games mode, online and offline multiplayer and party play. Then the action can be taken online as gamers compete for the highest scores on global leaderboards that track personal medals gained whilst playing online. Because it's the Olympics though, each personal medal won is added to that nation's medal table. All of this is played out with reactive commentary using realistic graphics and TV style presentation.
