User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Very enjoyable for the kids, amusing for adults
The game arrived promptly, actually before I expected it. Kudos to Amazon for the quick shipping. Worked very well after my son learned to put it in the right way round! Now we can laugh at the way they look trying to swim while standing upright! Good value. Certainly not a game to make a couch potato out of our kids.
One note of caution: At $45 for the game, you want to make sure your kids will enjoy the game before you put down money for it. I would suggest renting it locally to give it a trial for at least a couple of days first.
4 Stars My mother loves it!
We rented this one first and my mother had a blast. She’s in her 50s and really got a kick out of the way the characters reacted to their triumphs and defeats. My husband thought the best entertainment was watching her really get into the game! I find myself hitting A a lot to skip over all the hoopla type parts and get to the actual game parts but it’s definitely good family fun.
5 Stars Fun family game
This is pretty fun as a family game. Motions that are used in the games are very much the same (nunchuck & remote in fast running motion). Would like more variety in motions, but otherwise it is a fun clean game for the whole family!
5 Stars Great fun and Challenge
This game is great. Great challenges, I thought it was be easier to play each event but boy was I wrong! It’s challenging but in a fun sort of way. It has been a blast playing each event and missions. But you have to have great eye / hand coordination but some games take great skill.
Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I am!!
5 Stars hack link
The basic premise of the game is that you select a character to compete against either other people or AI characters in various Olympic events. You have your choice of 8 classic Mario characters, 8 Sonic characters, or anyone from your Mii Village. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses, though what those precisely are is revealed only through game play. Out of the box, you know which characters are generally more speedy, powerful, skilled, or all around talented.
