Another winner for Nintendo DS lovers. Using the same high quality 3D animation used on Mario Kart DS, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is packed with action. There are two teams, but the question is what are the teams? The title suggests Mario characters vs Sonic characters. The instruction book seems to suggest hero characters vs villain characters. Bottom line...it doesn't matter. The whole point is to do your best in the events no matter which character you choose.
The characters are:
From the Mushroom Kingdom:
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser.
From Mobius:
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Blaze, Vector, and Dr. Eggman.
The selection of events is impressive.
100m Dash, 400m Dash, 400m Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin Throw, Hammer Throw, 100m Freestyle Swim, 10m Platform Dive, Trampoline, Vault, Archery, Table Tennis, Fencing, Skeet Shooting, and Cycling. Plus, there are several special mini-games you can unlock.
So far, I kick butt in Archery, Javelin and Trampoline. I really suck at Skeet Shooting. It takes speed that I haven't yet developed. Also, the cycling has some complex controls I have yet to master, but I shall! I'm so-so at Table Tennis (Ping-Pong to us old timers), but watching those super charged finishing moves is always a blast. It's nice that some games are difficult to master. No point in making everything too easy.
Bottom line, this game rocks. Definitely a must have.

This game gets SO boring after two weeks or so.
If you want a game to last long get something else.
It gets frustrating in some events too. How? I don't know about you but Table Tennis and Triple Jump is hard! Table Tennis is hard, but why? I never
win! I ALWAYS end up in fourth place!!! Triple Jump is hard because you have to do good timing and need to jump three times to go the farthest! I am not strong at Hammer Throw. It is hard to throw far! Well, at least it is hard for me... You have to do a fast continuous circle and gain speed and lift your stylus. That's not the hard part. When I do that, it goes high into the air and lands only 13 meters!( that is not very far.) Well, anyways if you wanted this game, borrow it or rent it.

This reveiw is from my 8 & 9 year old children. My son says that he likes fencing and the canyon and basketball. My daughter really likes all those things and racing too. She thinks it's the best game ever invented!
