The game is broken into seven distinct categories: track, field, aquatics, gymnastics, shooting, other, and combined. Under track you'll find the requisite 100m, 200m, and 400m sprints, as well as 800m and 1500m distance running, and 100m and 110m hurdle events. With the exception of the hurdles--which are broken down by gender--the other races can be performed either as a male or female athlete. Field plays home to high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, hammer throw, and javelin. The gymnastics line-up includes parallel bars, vault, rings, floor exercise, beam, and the always hair-raising to watch uneven bars. The shooting category is the smallest, and is made up of shotgun skeet, 10m air pistols, and 25m rapid fire pistol events--the latter of which is the sporting equivalent of a stationary drive-by as paper targets whip past the player as you try to aim for high points. The "other" category features classic Olympic events such as archery, weightlifting +105kg, team pursuit cycling, K1 kayak singles, 81-90kg Judo, and singles table tennis. The combined category will let gamers tackle the male athletics decathlon, female heptathlon, or their choice of five, 10, or 20 random events.
