Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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. Harrison Dent Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BrillI love this game and all the different charecters you can use It's very tiring and your arms ache afterwards but still love it.... Rating:  - This game is awsomely tiring! This game will tire you out if your playing to win. No doubt about that. Which is good. It's fun to play with your mates,to play with your family or on your own. There's just one thing about that last point, playing on your own. The game is quite short if you don't want to go for some of the harder acheivments. But you would expect that from an olympics game. But don't get put of by that. If you've got some friends who like playing on the Wii with you then this is a game that you'll all ...

I Advise that you bie one of the other (much better) Sonic titles unless you like Mario then bie another one of them XP Rating:  - 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 ...

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 ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
