If you are thinking of using it with the balance board… forget it. The controls are unresponsive, half cooked. The whole thing is a waste. What a waste.

This game is fun, don’t get me wrong, but I was a little disappointed. The graphics were not as good as the the first game and the controls can go a little haywire. It’s also harder to break records than in the fist game, so the game is a little challenging. But other than that, the game is very fun and I recommend it.

All I know is that my Godchildren were screaming with joy when I gave them this game. While visiting them, I heard them laughing and having so much fun playing and for me that meant I did okay buying this game for them

Great game, lots of fun. Different style than Mario and Sonic at the Summer Olympics; less work to do with the remote and nunchuck, but some really fun events.

My family enjoyed the original summer games version. I was a little pessimistic going into this Olympic Winter Games since, in general, I am not a big fan of the winter olympic events. But I was happily surprised to see the great improvements made to gameplay from the previous summer olympics release. After playing this game, I am hoping the they release the next summer olympic game and incorporate the improvements made for this Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. In the summer games, you could play in a season-like mode, but only as an individual. The Winter Games allows multiple players, as a team or vs., to go through an entire 16(?) day campaign, full of unlockable features. The other great new addition are the “Dream” events. They are kind of silly at times, but if you’re a fan of the Mario and Sonic series, you’ll really appreciate the features built into these events. The other key addition for this game release is support for the Wii Balance Board in several events, but I have not tried using the board yet. The only negative comment I have is that going into the Dream Events for the first time, there is no real direction, explanation of what to expect or how to accomplish the goals- which can be very tricky for some of the events that are really quite different from the standard events.
