This game is terrible, its boring, uninteresting and has no replay value. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! If you want mini games look at the mario party series. I’m disappointed i spent $7 on the rental.

This game tries to hard to be Mario Party. The controls are bad and the mini-games are not interesting. The first crossover between former rivals turns out to be a suck-fest.

On the Wii it just stinks. The controls are unresponsive compared to any and all other wii games. Each time it was time to “GO” there would be a lag in the control to go and so it was hard to be competitive. I hated it. It could have been a really great game if it played correctly on the wii, but as it is I would rate it a zero and caution anyone not to waste their money on this. I would toss it in the can even if it was free. Seriously, it’s that bad.

When it comes to hype, Nintendo has really shown that this past year with the success of the Wii. nevertheless, back a decade ago, Sega also had those opportunites with being a definitive influence with the Genesis system, and some of their other consoles like the Dreamcast and Game Gear. Although they stopped making video game systems, they really kept gamers going for video games for other consoles like Playstation 2, and the Xbox. Now, the latest title finally decides which of the most beloved mascots is better, the beloved Mario or the fast and furious Sonic. This is the title for the Wii that could make gamers decide, young and old.
Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games for the Nintendo Wii, finally puts 2 of the popular video game mascots head to head in a battle that takes place in the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics. This game, you can play not just as Sonic or Mario, but characters like Luigi, Tails who is Sonic’s sidekick, Bowser, Princess Toadstool a.k.a. Peach, Yoshi and many others in a battle for the quest for Olympic Gold. The game features twists on classic races like Track & Field, swimming, fencing, table tennis and the hammerthrow. The graphics look very well while the action doesn’t really deliver for solo players, but multiplayer action fairs a little better. You can also use their special battle features like power ups and special tactics like Bowser’s fire breath, and Sonic’s speed to help you through the game as well, and the Wi-Fi gameplay adds a little bit more. Although the gameplay isn’t as bad, it just doesn’t click to die hard Wii fans who want more outrageous gameplay they would get from Mario Party 8 or mario Strikers Charged brought excitement.
All in all, many more gamers are much more anxious for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. Mario & Sonic At The Summer Olympics isn’t a bad game, but just misses the mark in fun and excitement for die hard fans of both franchises. I really recommend you get this as a rental, and see if you like it as a addition to your Wii library.

I found this game disappointing. The controls are awkward. For example if you want to compete in a running race you have to move both the wii mote and nunchuk up and down really fast which isn’t like running at all and after a while hurts your arms.
I think they are trying to replicate wii sports but the controls in this are way more complicated than wii sports which kind of detracts from the fun of the game.
Also, I would not say its a good one player game. You should play it at a party, but I’d reccomend mario party 8 before this game for a party.
Basically, rent this game if your having a party and save your money for mario galaxy or something.
