Product Review

Mario & Sonic = Cool Game

by   mikegmi2 ,   Jan 8, 2008

Pros:  Lots of different events, challenging, good for kids and adults.

Cons:  Can be difficult at times, sore arm muscles, some events repetative, hard to figure out.

The Bottom Line:  I recommend this game for kids or adults, because its a challenge and a good workout!

Overall Rating: 4/5 stars
 

Author's Review

After playing many games for the Wii and learning the ins and outs of the Wii controllers...this game pushes the limits of what these controllers can do.

Every aspect of the AD accelerometers are put to use in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. From running and jumping over hurdles, to archery, and fencing...this game will challenge you to no end.

Archery

This is my favorite event to play in this game...and probably the most complicated. You play this one with the nunchuck attached, and have to take a lot of things into consideration before letting an arrow fly...like the wind, power, and your aim with the Wii controller. Scoring is very tough once the wind kicks up as the rounds go on. This event must be unlocked by completing various events during gameplay.

Javelin Throw

This is a cool event that is not too tough to figure out. You simply run as fast as you can (shake the nunchuck and Wii controller up and down), and then THROW! (before you get to the foul line!) Adjusting the angle of the throw can be tough to figure out at first, and it is a delicate process that happens very quickly once you decide to make your throw. It can be frustrating at times, throwing the javelin straight up in the air and whatnot.

Fencing

This is also a favorite of mine. Fencing in this game takes quick reflexes, and patience. Coming out swinging is not always the best strategy here...especially against a good player. If you simply swing at your opponent recklessly, they can counter and block your sword....leaving you vulnerable for a few seconds....just enough time to get in a point. Playing the computer in this event can be tough, when playing on a hard level. This also requires a nunchuck to get the full feel of the game.

There are tons of events that will keep you busy for weeks and months. It can be hard to master these events, which is why I believe some people give this game a bad rating. They play it for a while, can't do very well, get bored, and stop playing it. I think its a lot better than what most people write about it.

This is a great game for kids and adults alike. It'll build up your arm strength...gives those muscles a good workout after playing for an hour or 2. It's much more fun playing against other human opponents, than the computer. That's what the Wii is all about!

I enjoy this game and I think you would too. Thanks for reading!
