Mario & Sonic At The Olympics - True Gaming History - 9/10

Mario and Sonic, two great forces to be reaconned with. Add the two together in a videogame, and you are truely in for some fun.

I was quite impressed with this game. Loading up the game, you are greeted with a great video montage, with all the characters battling it out for top olympic recognition.



There are plenty of options available straightaway. You have the option of Single events, small 3 event cups, and Mission mode. There are also quite a large list of Characters to choose from, from both ends of the game (Mario & Sonic). There is also the option to utilise your own, personal Mii which you have created.

Alot of the events from the olympics are there. Each with it's own unique style of controls, which make full use of the Wiimote and Nunchuck (Which is optional in some of the events).



The actual events itself are quite fun. The running events will give your arms a really good workout as you are waving the Wiimote and Nunchuck to build up your speed. Other events include 110m Hurdles, long jump, tripple jump, trampoline, and the list does go on. Controls, for the most part, are very responsive and quite simple to get use to. Javelin and Table Tennis could have been improved, but still workable.



On the graphical side, I was quite impressed. The character detail is really good, as well as the various stages and events. Very smooth framerate as well, with only minor slow-downs in the replays of the events.

The sounds in the game are also very well done. Each of the selectable characters have their own unique call sign, depending on whether they win events or lose events. Crowds are quite vibrant. There isn't a whole lot of music in the game, but it does sound good.



I would recommend this game to anyone. With the support for 4 players, this title would also be good to get the whole family or friends involved. With so many different events and options, and also an online leader board score board, this game will ensure that you will be playing this for many months to come.
