This year the Olympic Games is held at Beijing in China this year. This game has been out for a while for the Wii, DS version came out abit later then the Wii version later November. Based on the Olympic Games you play charcters from the Mario seires and Sonic series you can play as Sonic or Mario or even Vector the Aligator which nobody liked that much in the Sonic series.
Gameplay is mostly using the touch screen and button mashing, you can also clap into the DS mic to get the crowds attetion doing run-jump events. When you doing the 400 M or Swimming events your rubbing the DS screen, rubbing to fast on the touch screen might cause a scratch or a massive bash on the DS touch screen. Some of the games are enjoyable such as cycling, clay-piegion, Archary orTrampoiling. There are 4 of each charcters in each abilty area like speed, power, skill and all round, 16 playable charcter altogethor. Before selecting your charcter to play as you can choose single player, Circuit which is winning throuphies based on names and there’s Mission where you can select a charcter and choose a mission and unlock emblems or awards.
Graphics look well done it’s got alot of juice from New Super Mario Bros and Sonic Rush graphics, but look really nice for a DS game. Sounding based on the Olympics but may get sick of the same music and voicing in the game pending if your a hardcoe Mario fan or Sonic fan.
There is Wi-Fi multiplay so you can play online or play against a friend who has a DS and this game. Value isn’t that bad if you see it for £20- $20 in your local Game Shop it’s worth getting on your DS it’s a fair game to play. Should take you a couple of hours which will help you pass time if you don’t like watch anything on TV that much.
But is enjoyable game you’ll propperly play for quite abit. 3 or 4 years later you’ll propperly find this game in your bargin bins.
