In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, players will compete in events that take place in environments based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Using a supporting cast of characters from the amazing worlds of both Mario and Sonic, gamers will be able to compete as or against a range of lovable personalities including Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more.
Innovative usage of the Wii control system to maneuver a favourite character will allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, engage in exhilarating rallies in table tennis and churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after gold medal.

The olympics might seem a distant memory but this game is brilliant. I would definitely recommend some form of warm up if you are going to be playing the game for a bit as it can get a bit sore on the arms playing for long periods of time.
Once you get going with the events it does get addictive. If you are playing with friends you will want to try and beat their scores which encourages you to keep playing.
Before each event you can view a brief demo of how the controls work for each one so you don't need to spend ages reading a manual.
There is a wide variety of events and they are pretty enjoyable for all ages, my 5yr old particularly likes the 100m hurdles but she tends to run on the spot which is quite funny (good practise for wii fit though)
You won't be disappointed with this game
