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.

So bad we shut it off mid-competition

We rented this game from the video store to play over Christmas break, specifically for the multi-player competition. We (three seasonsed gamers) found the game play clunky and difficult - the responiveness to the wiimote seemed off, and the actual game controls were arbitrary and annoying. We played it for an hour (and were constantly forced to choose our miis as players, each time we chose a new game - something that wii sports or wii play doesn't so!) and finally gave up mid-game, we didn't even care enough to finish it.

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.

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.

This game is way too hard

I was so excited to get this game. I have played old olympic games on all nintendo sytems and loved them. This game requires you to move your hands up and down or side to side until you're tired and, of course, you aren't fast enough to compete with the computer.

Worst Mario/Sonic Game I played

I love Sonic and I love Mario but I hate this game. On the Wii this game is full of repetive and boring movements that don't seem to work. If you don't have a good start to the event you have a slim chance of winning. This game is very hard, very boring and a waste of money. But if you must have rent it first.

another boring minigames collection

terrible game. we got it as a birthday present last year, spent a couple hours during the party playing and haven't played it since.

the problems:

a) there's no instructions on how to perform a lot of the actions. sometimes you can figure out what to do but for some of the events we could never get anything to "happen."

b) nothing really special about any of the minigames. you shake the remote to run, or synchronize button presses to do jumps, or hit random keys as they are displayed. very little creativity.

c) it's just not that fun. you're either in the boring, non-animated, unexciting menu, or you're performing a repetitious action to complete an event. compare that to warioware, which has fun cutscenes and hundreds of charming characters and minigames.

d) seems like a rush job. there's some dead ends in the menus and some poorly translated text.

e) there's a bunch of different characters with 4 stats each but they all seem to perform exactly the same. other than the graphic on the screen, there's zero difference between all the different players.

f) wii already has a lot of minigame collections. why bother with this one?

i don't write many reviews for amazon but when i saw this had a 4-star review i just had to review it to help save someone the money. it's not the WORST game for the wii but i have a hard time imagining anyone playing this game for long.

Why does Wii make silly games

This game is really stinks and it retails for $50.00. Choices are limited. The games are not any fun, espicially for kids. They are complex and short. They need to spend more time with the games before selling them. Very disappointed.

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.

My 7 year old thinks it's "easy"

My son got this game today and within 1 hour was disappointed b/c he was not challenged. As opposed to Mario Supersluggers which he finds challenging, he thought this was only so-so, and so the review is not high. He does add that it may be more fun with multiple people, however, we've not had time to play with him....
