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!

Potential but controls too tricky

Paula from Wales, 5th December, 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.

Disapponiting, no option for left-handers

A Customer from Marlborough, 28th December, 2009

We tried to get into this game several times, doing various track, field and other events. In all cases, we were very underwhelmed - the instructions on how to 'do' each event were either confusing (e.g. swimming) or didn't give enough info. Consequently, we failed to get anywhere with all the events we tried! We also found it tedious having to go through several screens each time we wanted to play something, e.g. having to choose your character each time, with little idea of what stats were useful for a particular event. Finally, when we tried the table tennis and realised the game did not cater for left-handers, we threw in the towel and gave up. This isn't a forgiving game like Wii Sports, I think you need to put some effort in to work out the controls (having rented, we didn't have the manual, perhaps there's a guide online) but to be honest, we were too frustrated to bother even with that.

Sporting madness

chdukes from , 14th August, 2009

I did enjoy the game but to be honest after the 2nd time I'd used the game I really couldn't be bothered playing it again - I found some of the controls confusing even though there is pop up on the screen that tells you. All in all I would probably rent it in the future again and spend more time over it.
