Introduction
London is the follow up game to Sega's previous Olympics game Beijing 2008. The game isn't too difficult, with the only problem being Kit Collector as this involves getting 80 points total in both Medium and Hard playthroughs.
Step 1: Medium Olympics Games Playthrough
This playthrough will consist of you getting fairly used to the game, grabbing some achievements along the way. Medium consists of a 10 day tournament, with two events per day.
You will want to grab all Gold along the way here as not doing so will cause you to miss out on "Kit Collector". See in tips below how to do this a bit easier.
Step 2: Hard Olympics Games Playthrough
This playthrough is the exact same as your Medium playthrough although there is now 14 days with two events per day. Again you're wanting all Gold Medals here.
Step 3: Challenge Mode
This mode consist of getting stars over certain amount of events There are 8 Challenge days with a total of 24 events.
Step 4: Online
There are only 4 online achievements in this game, two can be boosted with a friend and two you will have to win yourself competing against others online.
Step 5: Mop up
This is where you will grind out the remaining achievements that you need to acquire.
Conclusion
London 2012 Olympics is a pretty fun game, and it won't cost you as much money to replace control pads like Beijing had the courtesy of doing. It's one of the easier 1000 that I've seen this year for myself anyway. Hope you enjoy this guide and let me know on anywhere of improving it.
