A great party game that is easy to play and hard to master. With it's gameplay it's fun, but very tiring. Check it out!
Overview: Basically the overall point of this game is to make a fun party game. There is no story in this game, but what kind of a story would you implement into it?
Graphics: The graphics in this game look so different. Some graphics can look fantastic, but other parts of the graphics can look like crap! The character models look fantastic! Mario isn't as detailed as he is in Super Smash Brothers, but he still looks great! Every character looks fantastic and its nice to see the characters look newer and nicer. Now, the fans in the stadium. They look like crappy doodles I drew in 2nd period Math. I guess it doesn't matter that much since you are going to be looking at the competetiors more than the fans.
Sound: The sound in this game is average. It has basic sound effects from bleeps to bloops. Although the sounds from past Mario games is cool, Sonic too.
Music: What music? Seriously, I have a hard time remembering the music of this game. At times the music is catchy, but nothing is memorible.
Voices: Thank you, SEGA! Few voice overs, but the they have are really good. Sonic ACTUALLY has a good voice in this game. Mario sounds great too. Every character has great voice that don't make you flinch every time you hear them. Although on a few Mario characters, I did notice alittle bit of voice samples from past games.
Gameplay: Awesome! I can't believe how fun this game actually is! It's a great party game that has depth. Many minigames could actually be games by themselves! Within the many minigames, you have to pull of a certain motion. (Duh!). With track and field, you have to quickly alternate shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up and down.
Now certain games deserve to get mentions.
Dream Table Tennis: This game is basically ping pong in a huge stadium with power shots. Awesome gameplay that can really get intense.
Dream Platform: Basically, skydiving into the ocean, you'll be avoiding blocks and enemy attacks while trying to perform awesome tricks. You'll be play this one a lot!
All the track and field events are fun: ranging from 110m hurdles to high jump, they are all pretty fun and share similar design making them also easy to play.
Now for the biggest negative of Mario and Sonic:
You are going to get tired while playing this game! It's demanding. I swear no other video game has made me more tired after playing. The constant motions are going to hurt you too. I recommend that you listen to the game for once and take brakes when they say. You will get wiped!
This game may not be for everyone. With it's demanding gameplay and it's somewhat difficult single player, it's going to turn some off. Give this game a chance. Oh and it has Miis in the game, so you too can run along Sonic and Mario.
