Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

[SonicMario]

All-around or Skill. That's what I'm guessing. But i would bet on Skill.

 

[Masterem243]

That's pretty **** tough to unlock those characters. I can barely master all of the sports!

 

[SonicMario]

I know... personally...

I'm stuck in the advanced circuits

 

[Masterem243]

I'm still trying to master track.

Well, no one can say this game is really easy, that's for sure.

@blazer787: There's more people in the gaming community than just you. In fact, you haven't even played this game or Galaxy so you can't really say anythig about them.

Well, honestly I bought the game today and played for the last three hours straight... it is an amazing game with what seems like a ton of replay value because of the difficulty. This game I have I a feeling I won't put down until... February 9th?
Really though, it's hard but not too difficult and the Wii remotes read the motions surprisingly well. I was really pleased with this game with game play.
Graphics are decent for a Wii console. Not the most drop dead graphics but they are colorful and well put together (not to mention Dr. Eggman looks completely gangsta on the skeet).
Sound is somewhat repeatitive at times, so I keep my volume down to low if not at all.
Replay value looks incredible. I was they made more Dream Events though.
This has a Sonic Fanboy's review (not bias at all: really).

I find it hilarious that most if not all the negative comments on this thread come from people who haven't played the game, and most if not all the positive comments come from people who had.

Taking that into account, it seems that this game is, in fact, pretty good. I haven't played it yet, but I plan to get it when the price drops.

what the hell are you talkign baout? id say at least 3/4 of the negative comment made are FROM people who own this game and are very disapointed. me beign one of them.

Maybe you just suck at it? Out of shape, perhaps? This game isn't very hard IF you are patient and read the friggin instructions! If you're disappointed in this game, go back and enjoy your Halo. This game isn't the best game, but it is a well put together game and is not that crappy.

i HAVE played Galaxy and

Spoiler

(for a little bit)

played this.

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 with someone.

i think i might fall some where into that catagory.

I don't recall ever calling the game hard, and i don't own an Xbox so i don't knwo who ur talking to or what ur talking about.

But this is anything but a GOOD game. Sega has half ***** most Most MOST of the games they've put out since they switched to a 3rd party developer. it really isn't put together all that well. there are tons of flaws, although i must admit it is a pretty looking game.

as for the difficulty level, I find it extrodinarily unchallenging. It really isnt a matter of being in shape(although I am) it is more a matter of proper timing and anticipation. probably the hardest(and most fun event is the archery contest.

But one minigame can't save this game. it feels that it was rushed, and the minigames could be made better with more replay value and a wider variety. but if this is enough to amuse u then by all means continue to play.

but i also fall into this catagory

Fair enough.

 

[TheOfficialSonicFanboy]

^ Well, it's a good thing we all have opinions. As I had stated earlier, I had just gotten the game, and it isn't supremely challenging but it is to a level that requires some attention span to beat. And half of it is knowing which way to hold the remotes so it will read it too.
And I am sorry about the Halo bias: Usually people I have met that whine about these games are the ones who sit on the couch and zone out to x-box live for a couple hours. That is what I was thinking, even though incorrect.
Anyhow, I do like the game quite a bit, and some others don't here so that's cool. I don't think it's a crappy game, maybe noobed up a bit for those not used to the Wii, but definetely not a bad game. The glitches aren't there at all if I keep my Wii remote+nunchuck in a very stationary position.
Anyhow, opinions are opinions! Take them for what they're worth.

 

[Thedude3445]

I like the game. It's hard, but fun, especially on multiplayer.

 

[XCWarrior]

I love this game. It has online rankings, which makes it awesome automatically, but it really uses the Wiimote well. One of the best games so far that I have played anyway.

My arms are actually getting a good workout from the game. I love it. I love how there are circuits, medals to earn, missions to do, and those mini games in the gallery. Plus multiplayer. All it lacks is online mutliplayer, but the rankings are good enough for me.

Go out and buy it. I love Strikers Charged, but this tops is 100x fold. It will hold me over til I have the money to buy Galaxy. Great game.

 

[shadowlaw9000]

I haven't really played the game yet I'm looking to buy it . But I'd like to know in all the racing events would Sonic have more of an advantage of winning than mario as he's incredibly fast and all the fighting events or events with force or strength would Mario win. In the adverts they show them neck and neck in the race and we all know how fast sonic is so can any one let me know, Thanks.

 

[SonicMario]

Unfortunately, As long as you shake the Wiimote & Nunchuk very good. You can win with any character (Even Bowser). They had to balence that out. In swimming events Sonic has a Life jacket while everyone else does not.

Actually in the end it's about the Wiimote Nunchuck AND the start. The better the start and how fast the character speeds up, the more likely you'll win. Once it reaches that point then it goes to the fastest character (at least from what I've seen).
