Once upon a time the very idea of Sonic and Mario appearing in the same game was unthinkable, way back then they were fierce rivals. These days though the unthinkable dream of a nineties video game nerd has become a reality, not just once, but twice wi...

It’s somewhat fortunate that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has already been released for the Wii. Not only does it mean that pointless diatribes about ex-nemeses Mario and Sonic appearing in the same game can be avoided, but also that a point of c...

When Mario and Sonic at the Olympics was first brought to our attention here at T3, all we could think about was the prospect of Segas speedy hedgehog and Nintendos porky plumber duking it out in one game. How much things had changed since the halc...
Classic characters, aquatic events...
Total failure to realise potential, dull missions...
Two great characters in one average game.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games must break the world record for fastest use of a licence. A preemptive celebration of the 2008 Olympic Games, the game comes months ahead of the festivities in Beijing. For all its haste, though, it cant eek out a fi...

It wasn't so long ago that Nintendo and SEGA were arch-nemeses. Both were leading developers of premier consoles bound and determined to take a stranglehold on the market. Each had their number one character that identified their brands, Mario for Nint...

As I sat down with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for DS, I remembered how much fun my family was having with the Wii version over Christmas. For a party gamer, the touch screen based Olympic sporting event compilation has just as much to offer a...

Following the phenomenal success of the Wii incarnation of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, SEGA's DS version has finally arrived in stores, but without the Wii Remote and Nunchuck should gamers be excited to see the rotund plumber and blue hedgehog...

When it was first announced that the iconic plumber Mario and Sega’s purple hedgehog Sonic were being brought together for a videogame collaboration involving the Beijing Olympics, some gamers believed Nintendo were playing an April fool’s jok...

During the events, using the stylus feels so much better and is certainly more intuitive than using the Wii-mote. With the DS you have a surface in which to press onto rather than trying to mimic the exact motions in mid-air with the Wii-mote and thank...

If back in 1990 you had told either a Nintendo or Sega fanboy that both Mario and Sonic would be appearing together in a game in 2007, youd have been told that you were completely insane. Well, the unthinkable has happened, and the once-fierce rivals...

Unique stylus and button control schemes for each event; plenty of characters to choose from.
Mario can run as fast as Sonic; Wi-Fi functionality is awkwardly implemented.
