Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

For over a decade now fans have been wondering just what a team-up between Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog would be like. Everything from traditional platform games to complex role-playing titles have been suggested, but it’s fair to say nobody imagined that it would finally happen in the form of an athletics simulator. It’s officially licensed from the 2008 Beijing Olympics though (Sega already had the license for their own more traditional tie-in) and contains all the usual events you’d expect including the 100m sprint, swimming, judo, table tennis, hammer throwing and archery. Sega have even been talking about using the new Wii Zapper controller for a spot of clay pigeon shooting.

More than twenty-five characters from both universes will be playable in the game, including not just Mario and Sonic but also Luigi, Tails, Yoshi, Knuckles, Bowser, Doctor Eggman, Princess Peach and Amy. Other characters will have cameos as judges such as Cream the Cat and Toad. You’d expect some characters to be naturally better at some sports than others but each has their own strengths and weakness, with even Sonic’s incredible speed mitigated by his slow acceleration. The whole game is developed by Sega but overseen by legendary Nintendo creator Shigeru Miyamoto, with full tournament and missions modes as well as online leaderboards for all the different events. The name may sound like an April Fool’s joke at first but this crossover could well be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Customer Review: Better than wii sports
I have to say I held high hopes for this, I expected it to be a far better version of Wii Sports and blow me away if doesn’t deliver. Regardless of the Mario/Sonic team up, it just plain good fun to play, graphically very pleasing on the eye and challenging. After an hour of playing the more vigorous games I guarantee that you’ll be shattered, I find the physical games easy compared to the skill games which are just infuriating, skeet shooting and trampolining are the main offenders here and although annoying will keep you entertained for months on end. Highly recommended, especially as even my wife plays it, which is high praise indeed.
Customer Review: Only for young kids
Bought this game on the basis of all the rave reviews, but it really is aimed at a very young audience and we found it to be quite tedious. My advice is to try to have a go with it before you buy, if you possibly can.
