The official game of the XXIX Olympiad, Beijing 2008, features 32 national teams across 38 events for both men and women, offering faithful reproductions of iconic stadiums like the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. Gameplay revolves around button mashing and precise timing, with innovations in events such as sprinting, swimming, javelin, diving, rings, and judo.

Judo stands out with quick reactions to on-screen cues, allowing for attacks when an opportunity arises, but the thrown player must react to avoid an Ippon. The Olympic mode introduces diverse challenges, where players assign points to attributes like technique and speed, facing consequences for failure. The game includes various modes such as training, regular competition, random events, and Decathlon or Heptathlon.
