Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii

Advantages: Lots of variety
Disadvantages: Some events are difficult or too long

Love the game! It has a great variety of different sports and challenges. A few of them I found to be somewhat challenging to get the timing right, particularly some of the field events in the track and field category. It will take some practice for me to get those games timed out correctly, but I found all of the sports/games to be fun, and it's great to have such a variety of actions and sports within one game. Some of the events can get kind of ... Read review

Advantages: mario and sonic lovers
Disadvantages: slow game play

This game took some time getting used to due to the controls of each game required to play. The rateing E is for everyone but at 26 i found it pretty slow and the games where very quick to play. Some of the challenges where harder than the other ones but most where pretty easy going. The characters that u can pick from is great and you can pick your own mii characters to play. There are about 20 events that are playable or unlockable that you can ... Read review

From a parent's perspective this is an awesome game. My son has a blast playing it and gets a pretty good work out too. Playing the Olympic style games and trying to break records often leaves him out of breath. Though no excuse for the real thing, if they are going to be stuck in front of a game machine, they might as well be getting fit too, and this game does just that.

Disadvantages: Tennis elbow

I first played Mario and Sonic at the Olympics games at a friends house and I enjoyed it so much I actually decieded to buy a wii.

...different characters to play as makes the game even more interesting, as each character speialises in different skills and events. Making some events harder for certain characters and easier for others. The game does get slightly repetative and with most wii games, tennis elbow is a common long term usage problem. But overall a very fun game. ... Read review

Advantages Hours of fun, various games, everyone can play
Disadvantages Arms start to ache and do not play before going out as you will sweat!

...Mario and Sonic brought together for a fun game, not only for yourself and friends, but the family can join in too! An excellent game. The instructions for each game are extremely easy to follow and the better you do, the more games you are able unlock. I've had hours of fun playing the different characters and breaking a sweat playing some of the games. We've had friends around to play it and everyone catches on quick to learn how to play. My friends 5 year old was more impressive than some of the grown ups! Rowing, trampolining, swimming and track games are our favourite but there are loads of games to suit everyone. Recommended for a good sweat, loads of laughs, hours of fun and you won't get bored easily!...
