Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games: Your childhood dreams fullfilled

Have a video game or or VG review? This is the place to to discuss it! We also accept discussions of board games and the like, but SHHH! Don't tell anyone, OK?

Just curious: was that levity or sarcasm? I'm being serious here...Sonic gets a lifejacket because he can't swim.

(I mean, come on; they mention it several times in the anime. Not so sure about all the games, considering that Sonic has run underwater and all, but still...)

You know, If I were gonna cast Sonic and Mario in one game, I wouldn't choose a Olympics game. (:lol:)
I would have some controversy about Chili Dogs or Spaghetti or something, then they get into a big fight... Like similar to Mortal Kombat.. Without killing. Know what I mean?

I think it was levity. I'm terrible at sarcasm. XD Well, Sonic can't swim, and Mario can't go at Mach 2. Although it seems no one is going to go at Mach 2 in this game, yet.

Ah, okay; I get it now.

I didn't really understand the joke before.

You know, someone drew a comic about SEGA telling Sonic to slow down for this game, and he started complaining...a LOT XD

Do you get to play as Dr. Eggman in Brawl? No? Then this game still has a purpose.

One of my childhood dreams was to see a movie based on a game. Then Super Mario Brothers the movie came out.

You mean the live-action one I'm too scared to see? O_o

So yeah, four days until this one comes out. Can't wait. :)

Yes, that's the one... My point is buried deep within that statement.

I figured. :lol:

Darn it, why does Hollywood have to mess with video-gaming perfection?

From the few review coming I'm really feeling iffy about this game. It's apparently very much like Wii Sports except even more simple and short. The game is more of an advertisement for the 08 Olympic games with the appeal of Mario and Sonic then the Earth shattering game that would full-fill my childhood dreams that I was hoping for.

I'll still play it. But sadly it seems like the game play isn't anything spectacular. *long sigh*

The game in itself is sort of fun, but it's lacking the storyline I was really hoping for. Oh well.

What I like as a little bonus is the unlockable music in the gallery. It's not much, but it put a smile on my face (both the Mario AND the Sonic side).

But yeah, they could've done a lot more with this game.
