Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: For over a decade now fans have been wondering just what a team-up between Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog would be like. Everything from traditional platform games to complex role-playing titles have been suggested, but it's fair to say nobody imagined that it would finally happen in the form of an athletics simulator. It's officially licensed from the 2008 Beijing Olympics though (Sega already had the license for their own more traditional tie-in) and contains all the usual events you'd expect including the 100m sprint, swimming, judo, table tennis, hammer throwing and archery. Sega have even been talking about using the new Wii Zapper controller for a spot of clay pigeon shooting. More than twenty-five characters from both universes will be playable in the game, including not just Mario and Sonic but also Luigi, Tails, Yoshi, Knuckles, Bowser, Doctor Eggman, Princess Peach and Amy. Other characters will have cameos as judges such as Cream the Cat and Toad. You'd expect some characters to be naturally better at some sports than others but each has their own strengths and weakness, with even Sonic's incredible speed mitigated by his slow acceleration. The whole game is developed by Sega but overseen by legendary Nintendo creator Shigeru Miyamoto, with full tournament and missions modes as well as online leaderboards for all the different events. The name may sound like an April Fool's joke at first but this crossover could well be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Harrison Dent Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Mario and snic at the olympic gamesTis game is great! It uses the wiimote + Numchuck really well and cleverly. You can even play with your own Mii's created on the home screen in the game. Rating:  - Fab game but makes you tired!I love this game but it can be really tiring so I'd recomend playing it with friends so you get a breather! Rating: - Great fun with friendsAfter getting a Wii from free-wii.isgreat.org I decided, at the recommendation of a friend to make this one of my 3 games and I haven't been disappointed. It is great fun, more so when you play with others and get to watch them crazily waving the controllers. The only problem, afterwards you have to put up with them moaning about their aching arms. Rating: - Great - A Wii Game for Wii peopleThis is superb - purist gamists will find some of the controls not responsive enough and the "ceiling" on some of the events too limited - but for the sort of people that love the Wii it's perfect. You get animated and hysterical playing the events and the whole thing is a blast. Recommended! Rating: - Buy this game, if you like multi player funI was a bit dubious about buying this game as it all seemed a bit gimmicky, especially with the Olympics on a month or two away, but after reading the reviews on here I decided to buy and I am very pleased that I did! This game is great fun for you and your mates (and family if you have to) to play, if you are competitive it will cause many an argument on how your controllers don't seem to be responding as fast as your friends etc and you will be thinking up many more excuses unless you keep winning... Pros:- Great multiplayer fun, something for everyone even the oldies Cons:- There are plenty of events but you end wanting more, aching arms are unavoidable.... as is looking like a fool to your nosey neighbours ...
