Advantages: Loads of events to master, great graphics and great fun Disadvantages: Some of the games are a bit hard to master, possibility of ruining the touch screen
...or would it come back new and improved? More importantly could this game now compete against the competition of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and Asterix at the Olympics?
****Game modes****
Career mode involve six different sets of four events across three difficulty levels and each difficulty level must be completed in full before you can move on to the next.
Training mode gives you the chance to compete in each event on its own giving you ... ...are able to complete the events in career mode.
****Graphics****
The graphics are actually quite good with bright vibrant colours and clarity. They are not up to the high standard of those found in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games but they are a lot better than those found in Asterix at the Olympics.
****Playability****

Advantages: there are a good selection of activities Disadvantages: games are hard
...a certain standard to unlock new games. There are around eight different characters who are good at different games. Some are strong, some fast , have the ability to jump higher and swimming.
If you do cannot complete a certain level than there are mini practise games that will help you along with it. The games are quite hard and do take a lot of practise but when you get the hang of it it is easy. There are lots of different activities to do eg' ... ...xxRECOMENDINGxx
Although it says 7+ on the box I would recommend this game to 10+ as it is very hard to complete some games. I would not think adults would particually like this game as it is more for children and teenagers. xxOPPINIONxx

Advantages: -its proberbly going to be pretty cheap soon Disadvantages: -a pretty pointless game
It may have been specifically developed for the nintendo DS, but by speciffically developed do they mean taken practically every element from mario and sonic at the olympics. To call blatent plagerism may be a little bit too harsh, it is fair that they made it alot worse.
They did change some of the controls during events, to make them less fun and more complicated on the control set up.
The beloved characters from sega and nintendo are replaced ... ...worse and worse throught their development. In 2D as character sketches they look quite good, a bit quirky, kind of fun. then they transition to their 3D counterpart and look pretty bad, even for DS quality they look a bit shoddy. and then as soon as they start to move they just lose everything they started with, which wasn't very much.
All in all, just get Mario and sonic at the Olympics. A much better rounded game. ...
