Format reviewed
Nintendo Wii
Plot
It's the ultimate face-off between two of video gaming's biggest characters - again! They are both supported by more characters from their own games such as Tales the Fox, Luigi, Shadow the Hedgehog and Princess Peach.
You can also use your own character in the game play if you own this game on Wii. Use your character to race, ski, skate and sledge your way through the most exciting competition ever!
Fun
This game is very fun. A lot of the events are very easy to play along with too.
You can even use the Wii Fit balance board, if you own one, for some of the events which is amazing!
Playability
The game play is very good. All the events are fun and with practice you can get really good at them.
But to be honest if you already have the first Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, then you will probably prefer that as it's just a bit better.
Graphics
The graphics in this game are very good in the short clips that it shows you before each game. But in the actual game play the graphics are just OK.
Difficulty
This game isn't that difficult just one or two of the controls are quite hard to get used to but once you learn them then this game is a walk in the park. It does get harder when you get further into it though.
Hit or miss?
This is a hit because the game is a nice family friendly game which everyone can play. It is a very easy game.

Your Comments
"I really like this game it's much better than Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. It's challenging and fun I'll give it five stars and big thumbs up! It's worth buying!"

"The DS version is so much better. In the Nintendo official magazine they said surprisingly we recommend you get the DS version instead of the Wii version."
