About this game
Summer Challenge: Athletics Tournament is a collection of sports events based on the Olympic Summer Games.
It features 20 sports divided into eight disciplines: running, throwing, platform diving, jumping, swimming, archery, trampoline and foil fencing.

The handling is similar for all of them: rhythmic motions to keep the athlete moving and quick time events (pressing a button when it gets displayed on the screen) for performing certain actions.
Of course there are certain variants depending on the discipline, e.g. there are just quick time events for trampoline or foil fencing and the endurance disciplines require a similar stamina for the player.
Archery completely depends on the player's ability to aim and estimate the influence of wind; throwing is all about rhythm and using the correct angle.
The game features a basic career mode where the player gains a fixed amount of experience points after every event which can be reinvested into improved stats (head, arms, legs and body).
Fixed challenges have to be completed to unlock more disciplines.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Summer Challenge: Athletics Tournament for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Summer Challenge: Athletics Tournament to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2011.
