Video Games : Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Rating: - Great for groups
I recently got this game for my Birthday.
Its addictive, different, fun and I like to think I know my games.
Really its meant for groups of people, where you take it in turns to swim in the relay and make funny motions and gestures.
I haven't found a down side to it yet really.
I just like it, is all is all

Wow, this game turned out to be WAY better than I expected. I mean, the Mario series was fantastic, and the Sonic series was brilliant too, it's good to see that fusion of the two transferred so well. The games themselves are really fun and they were way more challenging than I expected. Plus the world rank feature is really cool, it's great being able to see everyone you've beaten...and lost to too. And the dream races are amazing, I only unlocked one but even the one I did was enough to keep me entertained for hours, even on the single player not to mention all the games that are standard for the Olympics. I was wondering how they'd use motion controls for all the events and it turned out to work as smoothly as Wii Sports did. The games feels so natural and after a while you'll start to realise the skills you need to play like the swimming which is immensely fun, especially how the swimming controls vary per character. The mission mode is loads of fun too, like the normal games, but with certain tasks such as "Beat Knuckles in Archery" and so on, good fun. The AI is fairly good too, enough to entertain you for hours on the single player, and the multiplayer is really good because all the games are playable without the nun-chuck too. All in all a pretty damn good game, can't think of much to criticize. Would definitely recommend this game!!!!!!!!

After playing Wii Sports to death with the missus, it left like time for a change. - Mario vs Sonic does not disappoint.

The mini games are brilliant and can be very frustrating the first time you play, but this merely makes you play more until you can master them.

The skeet shooting is so addictive and after doing a 4 X 100m relay, your arms do need to be surgically attached back to your body!

Must buy for Christmas so at least it feels like your burning off those extra sprouts.

Hi all

I am an avid sports video game fan and Wii Sports currently remains the sports game to beat. I managed to play this new Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and had high hopes but this game is frustrating and annoying. The characters are cute the game looks good but it will drive you mad as the games are just NOT FUN to play.

A shame as this game could have been a classic but you have been warned, stick with Wii sports.
