Well done Mario/ Sonic sport game

Really fun Mario and Sonic game. There are both story mode for solo play (I've played some of it and it's been really fun) and there are also quick game mode for either solo (which I've also been doing and also fun) or multi-player (couch co-op) (which I've yet to try). There are two main modes for the quick game non story mode- the 2020 Tokyo games, and the mid-century Tokyo games from the last century. There are a lot of sport games represented - from team sports like soccer and volleyball to individual sports like rock climbing and surfing. The 2020 games have a bunch of sport games, and the maybe about 8 sports for the retro looking one's from mid-century.There is a nice amount of Mario and Sonic characters offered for the 2020 Olympics and about 8 or so characters for the retro mid-century Tokyo games.The story mode does include both the modern and retro games along with going around a map and traveling between Olympic buildings on a map and learning about the venues historical importance by talking to the npcs scattered around the venues. In story mode there are also fun mini games you unlock through gameplay that you can also then play off one of the menu options any time you want to play them again once unlocked.There are also 3 games that have been Mario/Sonic-ized special games included in the 2020 quick mode - a skateboard racing game, a karate game I think, etc. I really enjoy the racing one.Any way this is a great game, really fun, and recommend it for anyone who enjoys Mario and Sonic, as well as anyone who likes family friendly sports games. Also recommend as it is a really good value for multiple game modes and for the wide variety of sport games.Ver más

Fun Game for Kids

I bought this as a gift for my 10-year-old, and it was a big hit. He loves both Mario and Sonic, so having them together in one game was exciting right from the start. There are lots of different events to try, and the controls are easy enough for kids to pick up quickly. It's also a fun game for siblings and family members to play together. The graphics are colorful, gameplay is entertaining, and it has provided plenty of laughs and friendly competition. If your child enjoys Mario, Sonic, or sports-themed games, this is a great choice. Five stars!Ver más

I'm happy to have a new game in this series but wish it had more modes.

The Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is generally a series I enjoy and it's great to finally have an installment on the Switch. Overall the game is very enjoyable, especially the amusing story mode and for local or online multiplayer (this is the kind of game that really caters to local multiplayer fun), but it's lacking when it comes to modes and options.There are a good number of events and most of them are very fun though some are a bit too basic - I'm looking at you table tennis which is simplified to just pressing X at the right time and not having any control over your character's movement. On the other hand many are deeper than you would expect such as karate. Skateboarding, sport climbing, and gymnastics are some of my favorites. The issue is that there are not enough ways to play them. You have the story mode, which is a great addition and a okay length, but consists of mostly travelling around a map and talking to characters and occasionally playing a mini-game or event. I would have liked to see more games and events worked into the story mode to pad it out and break up the long blocks of dialogue. Then you can just pick an event or mini-game to play solo or in local multiplayer or you can pick and event to play in online multiplayer. That's it.Graphics and sound are both the bright and colorful you would expect from the franchise. The game looks great and it's always amusing to run your favorite Mario and Sonic characters through various sporting events. Wario on a horse, anyone? I especially enjoy the addition of the 2D retro graphics style events as they are very reminiscent of sports mini-games from back in the day. There are also three dream events and I found the Dream Race that is kind of a mixture of Mario Kart and a level from Sonic Adventure 2 to be really fun.What the game really needs is that addition of some kind of tournament or Olympics mode where you can run through several events in a row with a chosen country or team. Maybe a cups system like in Mario Kart with a collection of certain events to try and get an overall achievement or a series of 5 or more events where you are competing for the most medals? Currently you just pick an event, play it, pick another event, and so on. This serviceable but there's not much to it and no continuity or sense of achievement. All events are relatively short so you spend a lot of time loading back into and going through menus. I'm honestly surprised a general Olympics type mode wasn't included. Some more unlockable content (cosmetics, characters, anything) would also extend enjoyment of the game. I don't know how likely it is that additional content will be added later.Overall I really like what the game has to offer, I just wish there was more of it for solo players beyond story mode as I don't know how much more I will get out of it once that's finished beyond loading it up as a party game, a bit like Mario Tennis Aces. If you are looking for a party or multiplayer game then I'd highly recommend this.
