Video Game Reviews of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Customer Review: This game sucks
Summary: 1 Stars
This game is boring, stupid, pointless and has the worst controls ever. I would recommened renting this one if you think you must play it because it's just a total waste of money.Customer Review: Not that great...
Summary: 1 Stars
I just rented this game and glad I did. I found that I had to shake my controller so much that I could have broken my arm just to get it to work and then it didn't work right anyway. Some of the games like the javilen and dream race and the swimming one was ok but boring. I played with my brother and he won a race and was on the phone at the end so he didn't even really have to do anything. Others require you to push combo's of button and shake at the same time and sometimes it was ok but if your brain's not all into the game it's just gets frustrating. Then theres the loading. It loads the area then shows the sceen and then goes to each character to tell you who you are..(I think I know who I picked) That's just too much time wasting that I don't need.
Over all I don't like this game, others do so let them get it. (I suggest you rent it first at least.)
Customer Review: What A Blast!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is enjoyable for all ages. My 4 year old loves the trampolin. My 16 year old enjoyes the track and swimming. I like all the games I don't think I could just pick one. On Family day we play board games and the wii, we have over 50 wii games and this is the one everyone goes for. Customer Review: Mario & Sonic Review

My daughter, aged 7, wanted this game because her cousin has it. I check other reviews on this game and most liked it. It is a fun game, but I have played it only a little, so I need more time on it.Customer Review: Beautiful & cute graphic + 20 games + Easy control schemes + Wii remote does not work with Fencing
Summary: 4 Stars
- Beautiful and cute graphic.
- There are 20 games. That's more than enough to make me happy.
- The games are easy to play but not easy to win.
- At the beginning of most of the games, there are clear instructions on how to use the controls. Control schemes are easy to follow. Once in a while there's no instruction to play the game which makes it's confusing at first. For example, the shooting game has no instructions.
- Up to 4 players can play in each game. That's good for families or parties.
- The largest weakness is Fencing game. However, it's an inherited problem of the Wii remote not of the game developer. I've read many reviews on the Internet and found out it's just a 2-dimension sensor. It's not a true 3-dimension. As a result, it does not work properly with fighting games. When you thrust it back and forth, most of the time, your moves are not registered with the console. Therefore, your avatar does not respond accordingly. That's why Wii remote is not suitable for fighting games such as Transformers, Dragon Quest Swords, Fencing (in Mario& Sonic at the Olympic Games).
We've tried Wii Motion-Plus with Grand Slam Tennis. Despite Nintendo's claims, it does not work for my friends and me either. You can check with your friends and see why most of them don't buy Wii Motion-Plus.
In short, this game deservers 4 stars. I took away one star because it does not work with Fencing. It's still a keeper. I own it. It's great fun to play with my friends and family.
