5 out of 5 stars Have to have it!   February 12, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I was so excited when I realised this game was coming out on the DS, as I have the same game for the Wii and it is loads of fun, the DS version is suited for everyone young and old, the instructions are made very clear, there are so many events to choose from and a few fun trivia games in the gallery! I have had this game a couple of days now and I cannot stop playing it.

I remember being young and having Daley Thompson's Decathalon for my ZX Spectrum (over twenty years ago) - which largely required hammering alternate keys very quickly to race ahead. So, I approached this game with some trepidation - would it be more of the same?

Thankfully, the answer is no. Sega have used the technology of the DS to make the games varied and engaging; whilst there is inevitably some slight repetition the context is different in each case. For example, the buttons are used for various functions, the touch screen allows you to waggle the stylus back and forth to run, to aim a jump or arrow, the microphone allows you to clap and encourage a long jump. Unlike some other sports games of recent years, this also goes a lot wider than track and field; archery and swimming are favourites of ours. Recommended!

(And for those of you Nintendo fanboys who also have a Wii, yes, it is worth getting both games - each takes advantage of the different platform, and has a different range of events)

Mario and Sonic is the best DS game I have because it's graphics are bright and colorful and the controls are amazing! You use every single function the DS has and they all make sense. There are 24 events (more that the wii game)
and they are all fun and challenging. The sound is amazing, catchy and so addictive. You can chose up to 16 characters. Once you unlock all the events you can work on circuit or mission mode. You can play with friends up to 4 players with 1 game card but only some of the events are available but still good fun. It's such a good game. It is way better than the wii game. Just get it and I promise you you'll love it!

Great fun, just as good as the wii version, if you have a ds and not this game then you are missing out.
