Product Description
The biggest Olympic superstars are back and the only country they're representing is video game land. The team-up that fans could previously only dream of is back, as the worlds of Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog combine at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
Following the same format of the 2008 summer games tie-in you and your friends can choose to compete in authentic Olympics disciplines as everyone from Mario and Sonic to Bowser, Dr Eggman, Yoshi and Tails.
Only a few disciplines have been revealed so far, but already we know that the game is going to contain ice hockey and figure skating. There will also be new fantasy events such as Dream Ski Cross, which sees everyone competing in a Mario Kart style race complete with familiar looking power-ups and speed boosts. Realism isn't the goal here, just good old fashioned multiplayer fun. - Superstar team-up: Only the second game to include Mario and Sonic characters together, featuring the official Olympics license and input from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
- Worlds collide: Play as any of the characters from the original game - from Prince Peach to Vector the Crocodile, as well as first-timers Donkey Kong and Metal Sonic.
- Added balance: For the first time in a Sonic & Mario game you'll be able to use the Balance Board for some events, if you have one.
- The full monty: The new Festival mode lets you play through the whole of the Olympic Winter Games, including all the disciplines and an opening and closing ceremony.
- Friendly rivalry: Mountains of multiplayer options, including four-player competitive tournaments and co-operative games.

 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games June 10, 2010
Bovo Antonio (italy)
My son, Gabriel, likes very much and he was able to finish almost all games inside.
 my nephew loves it! June 3, 2010
Mrs. S. E. Williams
Can't say I've played it myself but in his thank you note my nephew put 'I have played it loads and loads!'
Great for young and old alike May 25, 2010
S. Lewis (Sheffield, UK)
My 7 year old got this and loves it.
The game is actually a collection of games based on the Winter Olympics in 2010. You can either pick different events as you like - bobsleigh, snowboarding, cross country skiing etc - or play as a role play game where you have to solve a mystery of erm, missing snowflakes I think, and enter different events on the way.
Since the games are Winter Olympics many of the games are very fast racing type games - something I love. The 3D graphics for such a lowly machine are excellent.
I haven't played that many games having got hooked on just one: Extreme Snowboarding Dream event. I think this is superb. There's a lot different skills and techniques to learn that you slowly build these up the more you play it. I've played this 3 minute game hundreds of times now and I'm still improving my skills and getting faster times (Now down to 2m 51s but still got more to learn!).
In each event you can choose to be any one of 20 Sonic or Mario characters. These seem to react slightly differently from one another. You then compete against 3 other characters that are randomly selected for you. At the end of the event you can review your performance: you see your character in the race from a different angle to that when racing.
All in all a great little game with great graphics, especially if you like speedy racing type games.
