Mario and Sonic have come together to make a game called "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games" this game was made for the 2008 Olympic Games in China. It isn't a promo game and is still around. But is it worth it?
GAMEPLAY
You can choose from a variety of different games, like 100m, 100m freestyle, table tennis, pole vault etc. These are fun, but some of the controls are hard and get boring after a while.
GRAPHICS
The game has good graphics, and it is a game with both Mario AND Sonic in it. It's great that the two rivals look good together in one game. The graphics are 3D which is also good, because mainly in the "Mario" and "Sonic" games, the graphics are 2D. It's good that they look good in 3D
SOUND
There are good sound effects, like when you land on a mat, but there isn't much music. Most of the characters say ...
Advantages: Lots Of Events Disadvantages: No Online, Some Poor Events
Cashing In On The Olympics?
It can hardly have escaped your attention that the Olympic Games has been held in China and "Team GB" did quite well all things considered. So sales of this game must be up. This time Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog has joined in with Nintendo's Mario this time. The reason for this pairing up is purely commercial.
You can control a myriad of characters from the Mario and Sonic games, or you can play as your Mii character, I always do. Each character has different characteristics and handle events subtly differently. The events are split into the relevant categories of Track, Field, Gymnastics etc... There are nine categories in total.
Some events however are total turkeys such as rowing, where you have to maintain a rowing like motion with the two controls while pressing two ...
Advantages: Great gameplay, addictive, excersise!! Disadvantages: Tiring!
Really good game with loads of different events, some of which i didnt even know were olympic events! There are hundreds of hours of gameplay to have, on your own or with your friends and there is a genuine sense of accomplishment when you beat them!
There is a series of competitions to do before you unlock all of the events for multiplayer gaming, and doing that alone will probably make your biceps double in size! This game is really tiring but the first Wii game that actually does make you fitter.
The actual gaming side of things means that you dont necessarily need a Nunchuk, however having one does improve the quality of gameplay, making your movements much more precise with the movements you see on screen.
Events available to play are 100m, 400m, 110m hurdles, long jump, triple jump, javelin, hammer, table tennis ...
