Brief synopsis of Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games

Mario and Sonic set aside their lifelong rivalry and appear together in the same game for the first time ever! In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, players will compete in events that take place in environments based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Using a supporting cast of characters from the amazing worlds of both Mario and Sonic, gamers will be able to compete as or against a range of lovable personalities including Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more.

Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver a favourite character will allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, engage in exhilarating rallies in table tennis and churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after gold medal.

Probably one of the best games to have come out on the Wii yet. It's nice to have something more challenging than Wii Sports. The controls aren't as user friendly as Wii Sports but are very easy to pick up and are very well implemented. A definite must buy!

Rated - 3 starsPotential but controls too tricky

Paula from Wales , 05/12/2007

Some of the events in this package are great and easy to control (like the 100m and the long jump) but sadly we found some of the others were rather unresponsive to the control movements or just too difficult to be a good pick and play 4 player game. The importing of your Mii's to the game was a nice touch and there is probably an enjoyable game here for anyone with more patience than I had for the control system.

Rated - 5 starsMust have game for the Wii

MattAdamson from , 14/04/2008

Bought this on release and I must say its one of the best Wii games yet! A must have for any Wii owner, fantastic in both single player and multiplayer.

There is plenty to unlock and drive you to work your way through each event earning medals. Through all the events you will use a large range of motions on both the remote and nunchuck so it doesnt get boring and the controls work spot on. Visuals are also great and very appealing. Once you get this game you will be wishing you had more wii remotes so everyone can play at once!

If you enjoy wii sports you will love mario and sonic at the olympics!

Rated - 4 starsGreat Fun/Workout

Ant21 from north shields , 21/08/2008

I played this with some friends and we found it to be great fun. The 100m sprint and swimming work really well and give your arms a good workout, especially if you're a bunch of friends desperately trying to out-do eachother. Some people have said the controls dont work, but i say a controller in each hand while you sprint towards the finish line is as close to working as you can get! Besides, it beats button bashing hands down. The only let down is the amount of time it takes to learn the controls for each event, but i'll definately still be buying this!
