Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

I agree with all the other 5 star reviews here. We bought it as we got into the London 2012 and have found it really accessible and addictive. Great family game for up to 4 players.

20 real Olympic events to play. As you start to win you unlock some excellent additional stages. Would highly recommend to anyone with a Wii and who has enjoyed the Olympic and paralympics this summer - will prolong the memories as it gets cold and wet and Wintery.

This game is startlingly good!

I have waiting all my life for a game as playable and accessible as this to come out.

I have heard people criticise it for being 'too easy' and that's exactly what i like about it!

I am not a gaming expert and I am rarely to be seen using a console. The reason? I am (probably) the worst person I know at playing most games. From Pro Evolution Soccer to Tekken; I am awful. Add to that the fact that I am not a world beating athlete, or indeed an anything beating athlete, and you've got a pretty clear picture of the kind of guy I am.

Fat, but maybe not that fat is the image I strive for.

Imagine my delight, then, when i first picked up a wii remote in one hand and a nunchuck in the other, held down the 'B' button and released it just at the right time to give Yoshi a perfect 'off-the-blocks' start and frantically pumped the controls up and down, imagining, just for that moment that I was Usain Bolt, an won the 100 metres!

Buy this game (don't buy the Winter Olympics game- unless you want to be brought crashing back down to the level of games console failure and uber-nerd wannabe)

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is very good, it is a game that you could play for years (:

This a great game for younger ages as they like choosing Mario, Sonic, Daisy etc. Some of the game play is excellent and very realistic. It's a bit easy for adults and I guess for my children when they start to beat me at everything (soon)! Good fun but longevity and appeal runs out after a couple of months.

Great game to play with friends or on your own. The controls seem complexed at first but most events carry the same sort of basic rules just with a few extra twists... Loving the Single Skull, Table Tennis and Trampolining (Can not spell) Anyone thrown the javelin further than 101metres? Well recommend Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games!

This is a very addictive game and you end up playing until the small hours trying to get a new world or Olympic record - I now hold the hammer throw and javelin WR & OR! If only......

You could play Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for hours and is a addictive. Very good game good buy

An excellent game which will appeal to many. Just let down by the fact it relies on the multiplayer to bring you back to play again.

I think this is a brilliant game no doubt about it. It comes into its own when played with other friends (especially competitive ones) as I would argue people of all skill levels will enjoy Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games immensly.

An amazing game that is well worth the money. The Olympics couldn't feel more real. Any hardcore gamer should definitely pick up this title. Motion sensing on the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controller add for a feel that actually puts you in the Olympic games with games such as the Hammer Toss, 100 meter dash, 100 meter hurtles, high jump, long jump, javelin throw, swimming, trampoline, table tennis, fencing, and many more!
