Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games is a great game for Wii. The graphics are pretty good(not as good as Super Mario Galaxy's graphics though.) The controls are excellent. The clash between Mario and Sonic's characters look cool. And if you think thats cool, you can play as your Mii! My favorite events are the athletic events. But theres just one problem though.....some of the events are way to hard!!!!!!!!! For example, some of the events in mission mode take you about 100 tries to get right. In the Masters class in circuit mode in order to win the entire circuit you must be absolutley perfect. Sometimes, I feel like breaking the disk and throw it on the street. The hardest mission probaly is Mario vs. Sonic in the 100m dash. You will be there so long trying to figure out a trick to beat it. Luckily I found an easier way to beat Sonic without moving your arms so much that they might fall off. This game is extremley tiring in your arm, they can ache for days. But, I still think this game is very fun overall. The good thing about this game is that you get plenty of really good excercise. This game has a lot of your favorite characters and you can play as all of them. This game is good for almost anyone! There are many diffrent events from track to field to aquatics and even dream mode. Dream mode games are based on real Olypmic events, just Mario and Sonic style. This has something everyone in the whole family will like. Overall no fan of Mario or Sonic would not be glad to have this game in their collection. This game ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sonic and Mario at the Olympics is a great game with and without people. To be honest I thought it wasn't great before trying it out and next thing I know I'm playing a few hours at a time each time I start up.<br><br>All game controls will take a little of getting use to and great timing is required for the better and perfect scores. If you are looking for something different, interactive, and with a few friends/family then I'd strongly recommending getting Sonic and Mario at the Olympics.<br><br>Down qualities would be as follows:<br>-- Haven't see anything on changing AI difficulty as/where wanted.<br><br>-- Haven't noticed any friend play with WiFi<br><br>-- WiFi records are often duplicated and some seem you have to cheat the system to make the record or beat it<br><br>Ignoring the bad qualities I've stated its a very good game in my personal opinion and very addictive. There are 6 others in this house hold that seem to put hours playing as well and find it fun (even one who said it looked boring got sucked into it for an easy 30 minutes).

I found this game very fun and exciting with few downfalls.<br>Pros<br>Easy to learn gameplay<br>Variety of events<br>Great for head to head play<br>Cons<br>Too hard for younger children<br>No way to level up your Mii<br>Too many steps to unlock all events<br><br>I would recommend this game for anyone over 10 that enjoys Olympic style gaming and great head to head action.

Overall a fun game, and it is better in multi player mode than in solo mode. the controls are pretty easy to pick up for the most part, and in general the games can be fun, but it is not like a wow kinda game. After a while all the motions begin to feel the same and if not playing against others can get boring quickly.<br><br>One point I do like about the game though, is that it really is a workout. If you play some of the track events for even just 30 mins. you will be a little out of breathe by the end. A fun rental but not sure about a buy.

If you rent this game you will regret it. The control of the players is difficult at best. The games are boring.

There are great graphics and a lot of options on this game but it's quite overwhelming. The instructions are too much to bother with and my 5 year old and my husband both just ended up frustrated. You really have to have a lot of time and patience to sit down and enjoy this game. I guess I come from the old school where Super Mario anything used to be a little more "basic".

Don't listen to any one else who thinks negative<br>about this awesome game! Personally, I am a huge<br>sonic fan, and I recommend this game 100%. The<br>characters are cool, and the graphics are way better than any other Wii game I've played! The<br>coolest part is 2-P mode where you can use up to<br>4 characters. Ranking your high scores on wifi is pretty encouraging too. The only reason I ranked it a 9, was because there is not as much as events as I expected. The replays are cool ( especially running events ) but it doesn't show the whole<br>replay. Otherwise, it's a great game and you should definitely try it out!

well i got it earlier today and i started playing it and right away i loved it. the controls really use the wii just right.the graphics are pretty good.the voices kinda suck though but what did you expect from a mario game.i love the charecters you get to be.but there is 1 problem i played for 1 hour straight and i arms and body were killing me.i suggest this game for everyone
