Of all the button-mashing games of the world, this is among one of the games that will result in sore, blistered thumbs. I found myself resting the controller on my lap for leverage while rotating the analogue stick with the palm of my hand -- it was very tiring after the first 10 minutes. The gymnastics discipline requires a bit of coordination along the lines of rhythm-based games, while aquatics requires strenuous button-mashing and analogue stick-twirling. Playing online competitively can be fun when everyone gets to participate at once (e.g. swimming, racing, or hurdling), but I got impatient waiting for other players to take their turn in events such as the javelin toss.
