Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was released towards the end of 2007 on Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. It was the first game in history to feature the Italian plumber and blue hedgehog in the same screen. It is an intense game where two old school heroes come together along with their allies and rivals to verse each other in a variety of Olympic sports. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics is a very, very good multiplayer game, and is great for parties, social gatherings or just to thrash it out with a friend. It is expected to be a huge seller and Sega believes that this game will sell 4 million units, equalling the feat of the original Sonic title released in 1991. Mario and Sonic at the Olympics can be fun, but some of the controls are a little too abstract so may just take a bit of getting used to for the ‘beginner’, but all in all, a pretty good game, which has a worthy place within the Wii’s hall of fame, for games.
Pair & Go has introduced a Mario and Sonic At The Olympics Soft Sports Pack which includes a Tennis, Baseball Bat, Sword, Golf club, Snooker Cue , Hammer Throw, Fencing Sword, Table Tennis Bat and a Wii remote holder. These are great fun and add a bit more realism to the game.
