Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics is great family friendly game. I was reluctant to get this game at first because I usually play games alone.It is a 4 player "party" type game full of mini events from the Olympics as well as "Dream events" that take place in mario and sonic based levels.The game has a great cast of mario and sonic characters as well as the use of your Mii's.After doing events you get scratch cards that you can win music from Mario and sonic games as well as costumes for your Mii, the costumes add Stats to you me such as Speed and Power that will applay to your mii in events.On top of all the great fun events There is London party mode where you can travel around the city playing mini games like Find Espio ,and Olympic trivia to collect stickers.The game has great controls and is challenging enough for an experienced gammer.The game also has online leaderbourds so you can see how good you are vs players from around the world in some events.I've been having soo much fun playing this alone and can't wait to play with frinds it has a great amount of content, this was a excellent purchase. Highly recomend for your self or family.Seeing Dr. Eggman do the rhythmic ribbon alone will justify buying this game

Great game, the best of the series. It has a lot more challenges than the past two and the London party is very fun. I have the other two games, but I like this one better. Althought I won't get rid of the other two cuz each game comes with different challenges. The company didn't add in this one some of the challenges of the first game (like vault or archery), so I don't recommend getting rid of the first one just to buy this.I have to say, at first the games are quite difficult but once you get used to them they are very fun. I recommend it to anyone who loves challenges.

Our 4 year old grandson loves this game already. He's only been playing it for 30 minutes & we've been trying to figure out how to play it so he can play it. However, he's doing better at it by figuring it out on his own. He loves the "dream sequence" games. Personally, I think the regular olympic games are cuter. Graphics & songs are superb on all of the games. Lots of characters to choose (his favorites are Bowser, Bowser Jr, Yoshi, Mario & Wario). There are directions for each game & dream sequence game, however a certain impatient boy keeps pressing A too fast for me to read so we've been guessing. Imagine when we actually know the directions before we play! Ha! I'm glad our grandson is enjoying it. He loves lots of Mario games on Wii.2/10/12 - Update: my 4 1/2 year old grandson still loves playing this game: it's his favorite now that he's learned about unlocking more "dream sequence" games (by playing more of the olympic games & achieving "awards" & "emblems". He's only allowed to play this game when he visits us - otherwise he'd be on it constantly at home. So far, he's unlocked 5 "dream sequence" games. When he takes a break from this game, he also plays my Vancouver olympic 2010 mario sonic game next. (Then Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, & Mario Sluggers).8/5/13 - My grandson is now 6 years old & decided to play this game again. Hadn't played it for a few months after being distracted with other games. He still loves this game & now his younger brother (age 3) is highly interested in it (but not quite ready to play). It's always cool to see a game be enjoyed again. Even better since grandson is older & is even better at it so he's happier. Still a challenge so it holds his interest. :)

This game is a lot of fun and I will not repeat what the others have written. The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that it is missing the Festival mode found in Winter Olympics.Basically, in that mode you get to compete in all events over the course of two simulated weeks, just like the real Olympics. Whoever has more medals wins the overall championship. London Olympics limits you to playing one game at a time, or to play something called London Party--which none of my kids nor I have found that interesting. One game at a time is fun, but Nintendo missed an opportunity to make this a great game, not just a very good one.

I rented this game at first and I kinda liked it but it wasn't that fun at first because it was my first Mario and Sonic at the Olyimpic Games game and I didn't know how to play it. But once I played with my little bro, the game was starting to get more easier for me. Couple more days later, then I finally admitted that this game was The BOMB!!!Some of the features of the game:Cool CGI graphicsFun,imaginative dream events like(spoilers) fighting a humongous piranha from MarioYou can view records from people all around the world using Nintendo WFC connection.Fun MultiplayerAs you can tell...it's awesome for the whole family

I know nothing about video games (haven't played since the joy-stick became obsolete), so when shopping for games I had a hard time. Wanted a game that all of my kids could play together (boys 4,6,8) and this is a 4 player game so they can have a friend play with them as well. They love it, my 8 year old says his favorite things about it are that you can play football, soccer, and long jump (along with fencing, "dream" long jump, track, cycling, swimming, etc...).

Me and my son LOVE playing this game together on the Wii. I researched that this is one of the best Mario and Sonic games, which is why I got it. Just read the instructions and watch play through videos if you need help. 10/10 highly recommend, you need this game ASAP! Mario and Sonic together!!?? Classic!!!!

The games on the London 2012 Olympics is not nearly as entertaining as the 2010 Winter Olympics game. The games aren't very interesting and it's easy to get bored with it. In general, not a very impressive game. I feel more creativity and thought could have gone into its design. Maybe some of the controls are complicated and I just don't get it, but I was quick to get bored with the various sports in there. Overall, a disappointment.

Le jeu est parfait!!! Il est en parfait état. Un super jeu.Mon fils de 6 ans adore.

Doy una estrella por la rapidez en la entrega pero el disco no funciona. Lo voy a devolver

My son is a proud owner of this and there is not a single day that went by without him playing this with his friends. It should not be so addictive!

A game

lots of fun in a group or alone
