Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

If back in 1990 you had told either a Nintendo or Sega fanboy that both Mario and Sonic would be appearing together in a game in 2007, they would have told you that you were completely insane. Well, the unthinkable has happened, and the once-fierce...

Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games

The two dueling mascots are at it again in Mario & Sonic At The London 2012 Olympic Games. This is the third Olympic Games style release where the two franchises go head to head in Olympic competition, this time it's still a few months away from the...

Some fun events ; Play as your Mii alongside Sonic & Mario

Not enough Olympic games ; What is with the Dream Games? Why ; Should have been a party style game ; Controls don't always work right

London Party is the mode which is actually the best use of the game. Sort of like Mario Party, 4 players go around London, collecting stickers, playing min-games, etc. This is actually what the game’s emphasis should have been. Had this been made as a...

Mario Kart 7

If you’ve played one Mario Kart, you haven’t played them all – but you could go directly from the SNES original to this brand-new 3DS version without missing a beat. The mechanics are almost identical, though the formula benefits from...

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Review

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games proves that it's still worth having a party with these two gaming legends.

Fun to play with friends ; Lots of good minigames ; Plenty to unlock

Repetitive, arm-aching controls

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Review

The third time's not quite as charming, but London itself helps keep things fresh.

The only great parts of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games are the parts that have nothing to do with the Olympics. The new reality-ignoring Dream Events, the multiplayer London Party mode and the presentation of London itself are all...

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Mario and Sonic team up in the spirit of Olympic competition in this hyper-branded Wii title. Will this collection of sports-oriented minigames knock Wii Sports off its podium?

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

The long-running dispute finally ends the only way it ever could…with hostile canoeing.

Good character models ; Sensible stylus gestures ; Acceptable event variety

Some sports poorly executed ; Inadequate multiplayer ; Unlocking content by winning easy circuits can be tedious

While Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games' design takes some notable missteps, it does many things quite well. But the singular failure to execute multiplayer effectively means that the game's merits are not capitalised upon, and therefore it...
