Time with product:

Strengths: Lots of events and modes

Weaknesses: Can be a tad hard but you soon get better

Summary: OH Yes I've got Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and it is great. There are so many different events I haven't even managed to play them all the easiest for me has to be the fencing I'm untouchable gold, gold, gold. But shooting, how you supposed to hit those things. anyway Team sonic is winning (who else!) I've just found out my Mii can enter (I know I should read the instructions but that takes to long, I just want to play the game) so now my Mii has joined team sonic and is thrashing the others. When I first started playing even Sonic was getting beaten by the elderly mario but the more I play the better I get. right, writing this is taking up valuble playing time whats next, ah the 100 metre butterfly. see ya.

Strengths: many mini games opened to try before the actual story mode

Weaknesses: tires you out quicklydoesn't automatically save your mii for playing and it becomes a hassle to input your mii after every event

Summary: the game prompts you to take a break after playing 3 or 4 games straight and you will need it for some because it requires. Not much of a story mode though. It's just a semi career mode for the player to open up the rest of the mini games and compete for medals. Some games the children can play but others it requires a little more hand coordination. It is a workout guaranteed. After swimming for one event I could feel the effects in my arms. Great multi-player action and you will be able to enjoy this with a group of friends or relatives
