User Comments about the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

i really enjoy playing this game. it's really fun, some of the games were hard at first to learn, but once i learned how to play certin events i liked everything about the game.

As a DS lover, I expected way too much from this game. It was not fun at all and the controls are a pain to deal with. I bought it because I thought it would fit in well with my other 30+ games, but I ended up selling this one within 2 days. The graphics are great, but what good is that if the game is a bore to play.

* My son plays it constantly.* Very educational in matters of sports and competition.* Great use of stylus and coordination.* Good for 4 yr olds.

I bought the wii version and got this for my birthday. More this game is awesome there are so many characters and the events are awesome. i like all the events im good at aquatics, athletics and archery. I love both. I like mario and sonic so this game was a must have for me. bottom line this game is awesome if u like the olympics, mario, sonic, or sports this game is a must have. (The wii more). gymnastics though are REALLY hard especially vault.

The title suggests Mario characters vs Sonic characters. Bottom line.it doesn't matter. I'm so-so at Table Tennis (Ping-Pong to us old timers), but watching those super charged finishing moves is always a blast. Eggman.The selection of events is impressive.100m Dash, 400m Dash, 400m Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin Throw, Hammer Throw, 100m Freestyle Swim, 10m Platform Dive, Trampoline, Vault, Archery, Table Tennis, Fencing, Skeet Shooting, and Cycling. Also, the cycling has some complex controls I have yet to master, but I shall. Definitely a must have.

There are two teams, but the question is what are the teams. Using the same high quality 3D animation used on Mario Kart DS, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is packed with action. It takes speed that I haven't yet developed. The instruction book seems to suggest hero characters vs villain characters.

I really suck at Skeet Shooting. The whole point is to do your best in the events no matter which character you choose.The characters are:From the Mushroom Kingdom:Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser.From Mobius:Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Blaze, Vector, and Dr. Another winner for Nintendo DS lovers. No point in making everything too easy.Bottom line, this game rocks.

Plus, there are several special mini-games you can unlock.So far, I kick butt in Archery, Javelin and Trampoline. It's nice that some games are difficult to master.
