Summary: Must buy this, not Mario Party 8
My husband and I were reluctant to try this after the bad experience we had with Mario Party 8 - that was supposed to be suitable for ages 3+ but which we could not find many unlocked minigames. The games you had to play to unlock minigames seemed very long and the telly kept shouting and playing annoying music at us and the instructions were like a novel. We felt stupid having to give up on a "ages 3+" game on account of not being able to play it!!
BUT this one was fab! When you start playing, there are already around 10 games free by default. These are varied and creative in the use of the wiimote and nunchuck. I highly recommend getting a nunchuck for all Wiimotes you use for this game.
As you play these games, you begin to unlock the other games very easily and quickly. I especially enjoy the trampoline (by default unlocked), rowing (need to be unlocked) and archery (also need to be unlocked).
We had *such* a laugh playing it and the use of the Wiimote is so easy. Even the kids found it easy to play (although perhaps not to win against the computer since you need to be able to swing the wiimote fast in order to break records... but it's not so bad when you play one another). A group of us aged between 8 and 40+ played it for the entire of NY's eve and NY's day and did not tire of it. The adults read too much into the instructions and wound up initially confused. Our 8-year old did not read anything but went on instinct and smashed the world record for javelin throw!!
I would not say this is "ages 3+" but perhaps 5 onwards is fine. Highly recommended. There must be a reason that even used ones (not many, mind) are going for £40ish on eBay!
P/s be prepared for your arms to ache...

Summary: controls difficult? My four year old can do it!
This is an excellent game. There is huge variety in the games; they are innovative and varied. The graphics are excellent as you would expect. More events unlock as you play the game more which increases its longevity.
Some other reviews complain about the complexity of the controls. This surprises me as my children (aged four and seven) can both manage to play it very well. They have both successfully won several gold medals and broken many world records, so if they can manage it I should think anybody could (if they could be bothered to read the instructions which are presented before each event).
Overall, it's an excellent game. As with many Wii games, it is definitely geared towards the younger gamer, and it hits this target market very well.
Just be careful, it can be very exhausting! You'll need the stamina of an Olympian to keep up with the kids.

Summary: Mario & Sonic at the Olympics Games - Super Fun
This game is super fun for all the family, easy to understand controls, using the Wii's remote super motion sensor to its best.
You get to choose any one of 16 Mario or Sonic characters to try and win different olympic events, from 100m sprints to single rowing.
You can also get your Mii created for Wii Sports in the action as well, playing as him or her against sonic and friends or mario and friends.
This is a superb game for any age, young or old, all the family will enjoy it, single or mulitplayer (better with more I say).
Get it for xmas, if not before.
Five Big Stars and two thumbs up for this one

Summary: Olympic Fun over Christmas and the New Year
I bought my wife a Wii and the Olympics game for a bit of a giggle over the holidays, thinking it would amuze us for an hour or so when there was nothing on the TV.
As it transpired we spent most of our time playing with it.
Mario &Sonic at the Olympics is great for all the family, whether you are an existing game player or completely new to it. Unlike many games, you are able to pick your events you wish to participate in and practice as often as you like. The graphics are really good and the game play effect of using the control to build strength and speed is fun (although it is likely you will have tored arms the next day.)
As you work thorugh the game more options and events come your way meaning that this game is great fun and value for money. I imagine that as the Olympics proper come around in 2008 we will be playing this with friends, wishing and hooing we will be the next Olympic champion and then watching the real athletes do their best.
The Mii characters are also alot of fun as it is possible to 'creat' your own lookalike athlete to compete in the games.......definitely the best game I have played to date, appealing to lots of people of all ages

Summary: Mario & Sonic At The Olympics
This game is fun for all the family. I found lots of the events extremely fun and I liked the use of the wii remote. The characters all have their special qualities and the graphics and sound are superb. Also it has mini-games where you can gain facts about the Olympics. This game is challenging but one you cant stop playing. This is a must have for Christmas.
