 Fun for the Whole FamilyMar 04, 2010
My wife, 4-year-old daughter, 2-year-old son, and I all love this game. The balance board makes it so even our 2-year-old can enjoy the games even though he hasn't mastered the pointing yet. Worth every penny!
Great family fun that gets everyone up having a goMar 03, 2010
We got the Mario & Sonic Winter Olympic game for our Wii along with the Wii fit board as a late Christmas present. From day 1 everyone was skiing, snowboarding and sliding down the snow trying to beat each others and their own persoanl bests. Every visitor has had to try it too which adds to the fun and I'm sure hooked more people whne they return home.
The graphics are excellent and we like the fact that if you do fall off the side of the slopes or crash, it gets you back up and in the race very quickly.
I have a 5 year old and 6 year old daughters who prefer this to any of the other Wii games they have played which gives testiment. Maybe now the winter olympics have finished this interest will wane but a great buy.Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
The kids love itFeb 26, 2010
My 7 and 9 year olds love this game. They have learned about the winter olympics and my son was even explaining curling to me after playing the video game! We've all enjoyed playing as a family!!
My kids LOVE it!Feb 25, 2010
I bought this last week for my 10 and 8 yr old kids- they both loved it and have played it for much of their free time this past week. They like most of the events and enjoy competing against each other or just playing on their own. I highly recommend it for kids of their ages. Definitely worth the money.

Buy itFeb 20, 2010
This is a GREAT Wii game. I like Mario, love Sonic, and love these sports. This game is really fun to play, never boring, and you even get to be your mii's! My personal favorite sport is dream snowboard cross. If you're a winter sports fan, a Sonic fan, or a Mario fan buy it; you will LOVE it.
P.S. On figure skating, it's really fun to be Donkey Kong; he's a hoot! :)
