Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

[NintendoWarrior]

Anyone picking this up?

 

[SonicMario]

This is a really old thread. My post on the top was 3 MONTHS AGO! But yes I am picking this up. It's in my username. Pratically >_>

 

[Got Blood?]

This game is going to be a huge yawn.

 

[GameFreaking]

Says you...

 

[Stryks]

Nah im not excited by this game at all, the trailer is epic, but im waiting for a final review, if it gets above 9 (which I doubt) I may get it...

But galaxy, BWii, FE FTW...

 

[Niko_K]

So will they re-release the track and field mat? xD

 

[SonicMario]

This game is probably for the casual that knows both Sonic & Mario. Further proof of it being for Casuals are the Mii's being playable. So depending on what type of gamer you are, depends how long you'll play it. But I'm not saying Hardcore players can't enjoy it, but people who want the serious fighting stuff like in Brawl they won't find it here. And even if the game is a little sketchy with the critics. The appeal of both Sonic & Mario will boost sales of it. It's just a big event. 2 video game characters that were once rivals are now having Friendly competitions instead of Economic ones, in the Olympics. Sega had the big idea to put in big bucks easily. Of course they may have done the trade in with Brawl. Mario characters in their game and Nintendo allowing them to use Sonic in Brawl >_>.

 

[SonicMario]

Sorry if I have to double post AND Bump this topic. But I do believe the game has come out today. Does anybody have the game yet? I'm getting it tomorrow.

One of the funnest games I've played this year. Really surprised me. More of a workout than Wii Sports is too. Left my upper arms pretty sore, and that doesn't usually happen even when I'm working out.

Definitely a game that you'll want to play with friends, though. Fencing in particular is really incredibly well done, and ping-pong takes a fair bit of practice but can get really intense.

I have only praise for this game, though it does get some slight tarnish to it's shine due to recycling voice clips from previous Mario and Sonic titles. But honestly, that doesn't really matter. They'd be the same anyway.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

I really stink at this game. Only event I'm good at is Archery and Trampoline. I can't do 100 dash or the long jump. Any tips? This game is hard.

 

[Drclaw411]

I picked up the game today. While it is more mini games, and can hurt your arms ala-wii sports, it is more than the 'Spiritual Wii Sports 2' that Nintendo once tried to market it as. Really a fun game. It's not a party game, but certainly alot of fun with friends...especially me who is in a college dorm building. Best quote of the day while playing was when one of my buddies using Sonic lost a race to me using Bowser. "Holy piss i need to go kick a grandma right now!". Reserving the game mid-summer was worth that quote alone.

 

[GameFreaking]

this game sucks. om very dissapointed in it.

 

[Masterem243]

It's the final game I'm ever going to get from SEGA. I'm tired of shelling out $50 for diaapointments.

 

[Jigglymaster]

I thought this game was great! Its very very fun with friends. It gives you a good workout. There were way more games than I expected to be on this. A whole bunch of extra stuff. It has all my favorite characters. Its a game where my friends actually have a chance of beating me. So it makes it even funner! I think they did a great job making this game.

 

[Masterem243]

Why did they include "sports" that aren't even considered sports at all? Like Table Tennis?

 

[Silent_Jester]

Table Tennis is an Olympic event.

 

[Masterem243]

On what planet? Oh, and btw, just because you saw it in the movie Beerfest, doesn't mean it actually happens in the Olympics.

[Masterem243]

Since when has Handball been an Olympic Sport? O.o

 

[SonicMario]

Since Ancient Greece I think

 

[Masterem243]

How come they didn't include that in this game?

 

[GameFreaking]

where the **** is Donkey Kong?!

 

[silver777]

No way I am gonna buy this.

 

[CT Chia]

i havnt gotten it yet but should for xmas. it looks pretty good, and the reviews from major game sites arent half bad

 

[Florida]

No way I am gonna buy this.

Did you mean, "There's no way I'm going to buy this game," or, "No way! I'm going to buy this game!?

This game looks stupid, if you ask me.
The only hype there should be between Mario and Sonic in the same game is in Brawl.

I don't know, this game just doesn't look... fun.
And how come Mario is running just as fast as Sonic is in the first trailer?

Are you kidding?? I won't buy this even if it was the only game on the Wii.

the concept is so sooo stupid, Sonic is in the game which doesn't help, and on top of that SEGA is the one who made it.

I won't buy any game made buy them.

 

[Shock the Hedgehog]

Wow, I've seen a lot of negative comments about this game. It's actually really fun, it's not too easy, but it's not too hard either, it's the perfect difficulty settting. There's a pretty good amount of single player content, as well as great games for parties and friends. Though the game lacks online play, it has an online leaderboard where you can send your best records and try to rise above the others. It's a great game and anyone who says that they won't buy it because it was made by Sega is missing out big time. It's a nice game that, combined with Mario Galaxy, can make the wait for Brawl easier.

 

[Masterem243]

It's a good game, but it's not what people wanted to see Mario and Sonic doing together at all. At least not the first game starring both of them. It would be more understandable if it was like the 4th game with them together. What I was hoping for was that 1/4 of the way through the game Bowser and Dr. Eggman would team up to conquer our world (since for some reason, 2 characters that live in seperate universes the Earth all together decide to meet there), and the sports genre would dissolve all together and it would become an adventure game, where Mario and Sonic teamed up to save our planet. But then again, it's SEGA we're talking about here.

 

[SonicMario]

True, but until Nintendo & Sega fans DEMAND a new adventure game with both soon. There won't be any. Any more may be just sequals to this game due to Sega knowing the decent scores to the game. Many of the ratings were at least a 7 or 8/10. Maybe somebody could start a petition >_>

 

[Masterem243]

Don't leave it to SEGA. They'll screw up, like they've done time and time again. Sakurai has already confirmed that Sonic and Mario will be a team in SE, as shown in Sonic Joins the Brawl. Nintendo doesn't have a tendency of screwing things up, especially when it comes to this game. Hopefully a majority of Sonic's story in Brawl will be paired with Mario.

can you adjust the difficulty?
this plus galaxy will scar the gaming community to the point were the brawl wait is unbarable.

 

[Masterem243]

You can't adjust the difficulty, as far as I know. There are different circuits that you can participate in, each one harder then the last, but not by a significant amount.

 

[SonicMario]

I think most negative comments on this game are people who don't have anyone to play with it, tired of all the Minigame Wii games, or are people that aren't about casual games like this one. Because if you had played with someone, this can be just as fun as Wii Sports was or better. I've had laughs with it. It does get boring when you're alone, but nothing beats playing it wih someone.

 

[Masterem243]

I got it so I could stab Sonic with a Fencing Sword. The Stress relief is worth the money. But why pick such obscure characters for Team Sonic? Why not include Silver and Rouge instead of Vector and Blaze?

 

[SonicMario]

For the record, I believe Silver is unlockable (Along with DK >_>). You just have to get the World Record in every event that has a World Record to break. And I sort of didn't like the appearence of Blaze. I would of rather have had Rouge since she was there longer (Even with her 4kids Horish voice >_>) then Blaze. Too bad Espio isn't playable.

 

[Masterem243]

The choices for Sonic team weren't smart. Mario's on the other hand...was basically the Mario Party Cast sans DK.

 

[SonicMario]

I agree that some of them were not right. And like i said CheatCC said DK is unlockable, just get all events and beat the world records of the ones that provide them.

 

[Masterem243]

Hard to believe. Where would he fit in the cast? There's no question mark there. Would he be the 5th Power Type?

 

[SonicMario]

Same thing with Silver. He is unlocked at the same time Donkey Kong is.

EDIT: We've been pretty much the only discussors lately :/

 

[Masterem243]

What type woudl Silver be? All-around?
