WORST SONIC GAME EVERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok so I have been a fan of sonic the hedgehog since I was 5 years old and now I'm 15 but this game was the WORST I have ever played ... EVER!!! I Advise that you bie one of the other (much better) Sonic titles

unless you like Mario then bie another one of them XP

Bronze medal!
There's a lot about this game that's great - the number of characters, the coming together of Sonic and Mario, the range of events, the difficulty level, the number of unlockable areas - however, it takes so long going through all the menus and sub menus, intros and instructions, you get about 2mins gameplay for every 10mins spend with the Wiimote in your hand.

Some events are really hard to master - I still can't get the hang of the swimming - while others are too easy - 100m sprint is so simple it's boring.

The graphics and audio are all very good, and the interaction on most events is pretty good - but there's no instant gratification and no great fun. For pure gameplay, Wii Sports is better.

So should you buy it? well yeah - if you've the dedication of an Olympic athelete.

Good but let down.......
When it got this game I thought it was brilliant after 2 months I still thought it was brilliant. BUT after 3 months this game was pretty average the reason being the lack of events, yea sure I got hundreds of world records but there is just NOT ENOUGH EVENTS!!!!!! The graphics are very good there are some good characters to choose from, there are some dream events which are quite fun that you can't have anywhere else. Another thing with the game is that if you get a world record on 2 player mode it doesn't count, for example I threw 113 meters on javelin in 2 p mode when the record is only 98 meters and it says 'new world record on the results table but when you start again next time you play it will be 98 meters!

Just take my advice GET SUMMER ATHLETICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Fantabulous multiplayer. V. Good single player
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is an amazing game. Multiplayer is by far the best part of it.
Theres also such a varied number of games. Usually there are 5 of us playing and we're all good at different things so no one feels left out. Single player is not quite as good but still very fun.
I don't understand how people find the controls difficult. Theyre really easy. And I love the way swimming strokes are different for each character. Me and my best friend love doing the swimming relay together, and it was fun trying out each character to put the fastest in our relay.

All in all I REALLY RECOMMEND this game

Fun in short bursts. Oh, and it makes your arms ache!
For a Mario & Sonic Olympics game, this is pretty good. The controls work well on almost all events (table tennis is my least favourite) and the Dream races are fun. Also, unlocking Olympics trivia and Mario and Sonic songs is cool!

I recommend this game to people who are interested in Mario, Sonic and the Olympics. However I do not recommend it to people who expect a brilliant Mario and Sonic crossover, which it actually isn't. Also, it's a shame there's no real wifi play instead of leaderboards.
