Product Description
The biggest Olympic superstars are back and the only country they're representing is video game land. The team-up that fans could previously only dream of is back, as the worlds of Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog combine at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
Following the same format of the 2008 summer games tie-in you and your friends can choose to compete in authentic Olympics disciplines as everyone from Mario and Sonic to Bowser, Dr Eggman, Yoshi and Tails.
Only a few disciplines have been revealed so far, but already we know that the game is going to contain ice hockey and figure skating. There will also be new fantasy events such as Dream Ski Cross, which sees everyone competing in a Mario Kart style race complete with familiar looking power-ups and speed boosts. Realism isn't the goal here, just good old fashioned multiplayer fun. - Superstar team-up: Only the second game to include Mario and Sonic characters together, featuring the official Olympics license and input from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
- Worlds collide: Play as any of the characters from the original game - from Prince Peach to Vector the Crocodile, as well as first-timers Donkey Kong and Metal Sonic.
- Added balance: For the first time in a Sonic & Mario game you'll be able to use the Balance Board for some events, if you have one.
- The full monty: The new Festival mode lets you play through the whole of the Olympic Winter Games, including all the disciplines and an opening and closing ceremony.
- Friendly rivalry: Mountains of multiplayer options, including four-player competitive tournaments and co-operative games.

 Could be much better March 3, 2010
maximus (manchester, uk)
The graphics and animation during start up, for example, look really advanced, however this does give you a slight disappointment because the gameplay graphics don't quite match up to that. Also disappointing slightly is the fact that there could have been more done with the balance board options - why can't you have proper head to head games? The options are single play or team play, which tend to get boring. If they can have team play, then head to head would have been possible. As a result, the software does have a feel of having been rushed to meet release deadline and left with a little still to be desired. So at full price, don't spend your money in my opinion. If it were to be sold at £17 mark, then it might be OK for most people in terms of value for money.

Fun but doubts about longevity February 9, 2010

As a forty-something, this game doesn't hold much interest for me. My sons have a great laugh when they play it - which isn't all that often though because there's not really enough variety in this. Would benefit from an online gaming facility.
Ok game, but nothing special February 9, 2010

I found this game as an ok. Some sports are quite fun to play but I think this game was more for smaller children than for adults. What's annoying is that you can't get rid of the lengthy animations before and after each event.

Mrs. Asiya P. Majid
