K2 Sonic

Advantages: variety of games to play
Disadvantages: Slow loading

...Mario & Sonic at the olympic games was the first game i bought after getting a Wii for christmas. I personally think that it is an excellent first game to get for the Wii. You can happily play for hours and hours becuase of the wide variety of events you can play.

Advantages: loads of different events, suitable for all, good multiplayer functionality
Disadvantages: tiring controls

...This game has great appeal for children - anything with mario and sonic in would - but is also appealing to adults due to its playability. Basically, various characters (mario, sonic, luigi, peaches, yoshi...) compete in the popular events of the olympic - track and field such as long jump, high jump, 100m, hammer, swimming, trampolining, archery.

Advantages: hours of enjoyment
Disadvantages: none to date

...I was interested in this game having seen the adverts on TV. How cool is that! Mario and Sonic competing against each other. It does take a while to get used to the actions as I'm still a new player on the Wii but endless hours of fun, sounds are good and amusing and the graphics are amazing and easy to follow. You can choose to play on your own or with friends. Most games require more than one controller if competing against friends. You can also play as your Mii characters so this game has good flexability. A great selection of games to choose from especially depending on your own speed and performance. Compete for medals and those that you win are saved. Overall, a great challenging game for all the family and friends to enjoy.... Read review
