Athletics 2: Summer Sports brings the Sports genre to life, and throws up exciting challenges for gamers. Developed by Tangram3D, this Android game is best experienced on BlueStacks, the World’s #1 app player for PC and Mac users.
Athletics 2: Summer Sports is like a big box of Olympic style mini events, simple to pick up and surprisingly tense when the clock is running. It packs a lot, around 30 single events plus a handful of multi sport combos, so there is always another thing to try. There is the classic track stuff like 100 meters, hurdles, relays, long jump, high jump, pole vault, javelin, discus, hammer, and shot put. Then it swings over to swimming sprints and a relay, a couple of rowing distances, diving from springboard and platform, cycling with keirin, pursuits, and sprints, and even archery, pistol and skeet shooting, fencing, and weightlifting. Triathlon, quadrathlon, pentathlon, and heptathlon chain events together if someone wants the full sweat. The look is clean 3D with big readable arenas, and there is crowd noise and little celebration animations when a record gets cracked, which helps the mood without getting in the way.
The feel of play is all about rhythm, timing, and small bits of strategy. Races want quick taps without burning out too early. Throws and jumps live or die on a good run up, a clean plant, and a release angle that is not rushed. Swimming and cycling reward steady cadence, and shooting asks for calm hands and precise presses. It can be learned fast, but each event has its own trick to master, so medals do not come free. There is a split screen two player mode on one screen for couch style showdowns, and the AI roster pulls from about 30 nationalities, which gives a nice variety of rivals. On PC with BlueStacks, mapping keys for the tap heavy events keeps fingers from getting sore, and the bigger screen makes judging hurdles or vault timing easier. Rounds are short, retries are quick, and the whole thing scratches that one more attempt feeling without a lot of fuss.
Ready to top the leaderboard? We bet you do. Let precise controls and sharp visuals optimized on BlueStacks lead you to victory.
