Sports story is a game about sports, but not always. Various non-sporting pursuits provide variety. Alternate activities like dungeon exploration, stealthy infiltrations and fishing expeditions mean something unexpected waits around every corner. Sometimes it is even sports.

Critic Reviews
Game Informer
By Brian SheaEven if Sports Story was polished and bug-free, it would still fall strikingly short of the first title in the series. The new sports don’t play well, the fetch quests are tiresome, and the story is tedious and less charming than that of Golf Story. What remains of the retro golf experience is fun, but the whole game feels like a textbook example of being unable to deliver on lofty ambitions.
WellPlayed
By Mark IsaacsonSports Story doesn't hit the heights of its predecessor, overstuffed with new ideas and sports that probably should have been left on the cutting-room floor. There's still plenty here to enjoy, both golf and tennis fans will find something to like and fans of the original likewise, but the trophy could have used a polish.
Guardian
By Sarah Maria GriffinThe long-awaited follow-up to Golf Story is rough but characterful, with plenty of retro warmth
Hardcore Gamer
By Jordan HelmSequels that don't quite match the lightning-in-a-bottle status of its originator are nothing new.
GameSpot
By Jordan RaméeThough golfing remains a highlight, Sports Story overloads its charming and intriguing premise with unrewarding side activities and boring fetch quests.
