  • Abstract:  I wish more gaming companies would "cross-over" and "share" their characters as nothing is more fun than pitting your favourites against each other which is generally the stuff of comicbook legends. Obviously something happened again, whether it was t...

  • Addictive skill-based challenges, fun multiplayer, plenty of events to try your hand at
  • Some events are hit-and-miss, story mode is naff
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is a compelling purchase for party game and curling fans alike. If it’s a quick bout of fun you’re after, it’s hard to go wrong. ...

  • You’ll enjoy the race events, which usually see you prepping a run up, hitting A at the right them, then twisting with the Wii remote to steer you through flags or down the chute in the fastest time. Frivolous, and fun. The Dream events are totally...
  • Getting to the Dream events is a dreary process. You’ll have to play through the regular sports, all of which seem to involve tilting, shaking and nothing more, have some boss races in single player which fail to match the decade-old Diddy Kong Raci...
  • Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games doesn’t push the Wii to the limits, but it’s easy enough on the eye and the flashes of Mario Kart are a nice touch. With four people crammed into the living room, it’ll pass away a wet afternoon...

  • Abstract:  Last year we saw a gaming event that many thought would never happen, a pairing of once bitter rivals that was enough to give fanboys a wet dream. Yes, the gaming legends Mario and Sonic finally made it into a game together, a sporting game centred aro...

  • More variety then you'd credit it for, Excellent time attack game, A good sense of speed

  • von Lars Hilbig Mario & Sonic bei den Olympischen Winterspielen ist genau das, was es sein möchte. Eine leichte und eingängige Sammlung von knapp 30 Minispielen angelehnt an die Winterspiele. Natürlich könnten Skiabfahrt, Eiskunstlauf oder Skeleton m...

  • Mehr als nerviger Menüsprecher, Einige Sportarten zu leicht, Ab und an Eingabeverzögerungen,
