The new Mario & Sonic game offers some new mini games. You will enjoy the game probably at your new years eve parties with your friends.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is an interesting game that is reminiscent of those classic 80's Olympic games like Summer Games but with 21st century graphics and the innovative Wii gaming mechanics. Like all mini-game collections, some of the games work and others are just a little embarrassing.

Rich collection of sport mini games is the best for short sessions thanks to its variability and agility. [Christmas 2011]
Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics 2012 is the game that we expected: pros and cons balance each other giving players an interesting arcade game for Christmans.
It comes as no surprise that Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is another colourful, fun and accessible package offering plenty of family-friendly kicks. While it hardly deserves a gold medal for design and presentation, Wii owners will get some festive thrills out of this one.
As a party game, London Games succeeds rarely, but its implementation of recognizable (and unrecognizable) characters from Mario and Sonic is perfect. It definitely has all of your favorite characters in it, but that's not enough of a reason to play.
Bad games happen all the time, and so do brand-extending cash-grabs. But when a game is this blatant in how it wants to take consumers' money-by mashing up long-standing franchises with mostly solid reputations-it's cause for disgust.
This is definetely one of the best Mario & Sonic games, but that's not saying much. Although many of the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games... games try to be a minigame collection with a story or something, this one actually tries to be interesting. It actually gets really fun near the end, if you have the correct expectations.

This is something different, I was never interested in the Olympic Games that much but this game is honestly fun!
There's a good amount of minigames to choose from, and every single one of them is completely different from each other.
The character roster is pretty good, the characters have different stats and traits so you can experiment with whoever you want.
And lastly, the London Party mode is very good! The stakes are higher, and it contains some unique and exciting minigames.
Overall, the controls can get in the way sometimes, but it's a very enjoyable game, especially if you play with other players.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.

This really bored the heck out of me. London party just seemed like a Mario party spin-off, and a less good version of one too. Not the worst game ever, but it just bored me.

This game is by far the worst game in the "Mario & Sonic" series so far. I own all version of the games including the DS versions of the first 2 and the 3DS counterpart of this. The fiddly controls make the games boring and repetitive, yet alone hard to play. For example, in the 100M event, there is no longer any inclusion of the Nunchuck. This is a bizarre decision considering how these events where so easy to play in the Beijing version, where you had the option of playing with or without the extra controller. Also, having no circuit mode or any fun Single Player mode means the game is lacking in content. It seems like Sega have rushed this game to get it out as early as possible, amid the British Olympic fever, in an attempt to receive as much money as possible from a dwindling series. If the game was the original with some extra events and the London theme printed on, this would have got a score of 8. Unfortunately, the game could have 5 events on it and it would still sell like hotcakes due to the inclusion of Mario & Sonic. Buy the Beijing version, or even better, the official game if you have access to an Xbox or PlayStation.

Summary Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games contains over 50 original Olympic themed events playable in both single and multiplayer modes. Bringing a whole new dimension to the Mario & Sonic universe, the glasses-free 3D visuals and the unique control systems mean there are plenty of new and exciting ways to compete for a cove...
