Mario and Sonic review
The new Mario and Sonic game is awesome!
Graphics
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics looks extremely well on the Wii. There are no frame-rate issues that I recall, and all the characters are colorful and detailed. The backgrounds and environments feature good textures that don’t detract from the fun. I was especially pleased that the Olympic Stadium featured real to life mascots and was authentically rendered after the actual Olympic Stadium in Beijing.
Controls
each event has its own controls players need to get used to. For the 100 meter dash, players shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuck up and down to simulate running. For archery, they pull the Wii Remote back and let go of the trigger button to release “the arrow.” Some of the controls work extremely well, but at other times the controls are far more frustrating than they are fun.
Gameplay
This game is essentially a mash-up of mini-games that recreate Olympic events. There are real life events, such as the 400 meter dash and the long jump, as well as new, entertaining fantasy events, like the 10,000 meter dive. Completing events is fun, but the game will require you to repeat them over and over again in order to unlock new ones. Also has a multiplayer mode for each Olympic event. This makes the game quite fun with a large group of friends or family. In fact, “MAS” is best played with a grouup, as the single player gets old very fast.
