Initially, I was a bit put off by the cartoon-like graphics, but the more I played the game, the more the style fits in rather well with the whole concept. It is a style that blends the Sonic Olympics games and real life, and the outcome is both visually appealing and conveys a rather semi-competitive but fun type of atmosphere.
You will see no instances of people crashing to their knees in defeat as the reality of watching their Olympics dreams fade away in front of them, but rather your avatars sink their head and give off some rather lighthearted signs of disappointment.
