I have to say, SEGA did a great job with the game, its just to much fun. I play with my brothers and cousins and its just awesome. It will take some time to adjust to the controls but when you get the grip of it you just want to keep playing for hours. Also, this game is very good for people who want to be in shape, LOTS OF EXERCISE!!!
I recommend it for Party reunions, it will hold you out until SMASH BRAWL arrives.
More of an Olympic Qualifier

This is a great game that I have been waiting for. Playing with multiple players will work best. The track & field area is the only one I have played multiple times. If it was the entire game it would still be great.
fun but a bit repetitive

This game seems to be limited on the different activities. My son got it for Christmas and has only played it one time.
Not Wii-like, more like button mashing

Yes, you do use the motion-sensitive aspects of the Wii controller, but in often in a non-intuitive way. Unlike Wii Sports, where you feel like you're playing the sport, this game feels like games on other platforms where you mash buttons really fast or in a certain order or timing to get ahead. For example, the trampoline event did require you to wave the controller up and down to jump higher, but then to do tricks you had to do a series of button presses/controller twists. In fencing you do push the controller forward to lunge, but parrying requires pressing the A button in addition to a sideways wave, feinting requires B button instead of a feint with controller. Other events just require moving the controller/nunchuk up and down really fast.
This isn't a bad game, it's just that it is much like all the other Olympic games that have come out for PS/2, GameCube, etc., and just doesn't feel Wii-like.
Ehh.. only alright

This game is slow to load, and it takes you through to many screens before you can just play. the games are good though, I wish they cut out a lot of the fluff... The award ceremonies take forever...
Maybe on a different platform . .

On the Wii it just stinks. The controls are unresponsive compared to any and all other wii games. Each time it was time to "GO" there would be a lag in the control to go and so it was hard to be competitive. I hated it. It could have been a really great game if it played correctly on the wii, but as it is I would rate it a zero and caution anyone not to waste their money on this. I would toss it in the can even if it was free. Seriously, it's that bad.
Waste of money!

Bought this game with my Wii 3 months ago have hardly played since. Just not a fun game in mmy opinion. I thought it would give my kids more exercise like Wii sports but it's just a lot of little repetitive motions.
Are these other reviewers joking???

This game is terrible, its boring, uninteresting and has no replay value. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!! If you want mini games look at the mario party series. I'm disappointed i spent $7 on the rental.
A Bad Mario Party with Sonic

This game tries to hard to be Mario Party. The controls are bad and the mini-games are not interesting. The first crossover between former rivals turns out to be a suck-fest.
