Sonic vs Mario - Olympic style!
August 27th 2007 13:42
Set for release this November on the Wii, Sonic will be battling Mario in a wide series of Olympic events that will make a very interesting use of the Wii controller! This title is a dream come true to many 'old school' gamers like myself who grew up in the Mega drive vs. SNES rivalry days where we had heated discussions on the playground on who was better...Mario or Sonic!
Not only is Sonic and Mario in the game, but so is the crew on both sides... Robotnic, Luigi, Peach, Tails (to name a few). What makes the game even more fun (along with the traditional colorful graphics) is the use of the wireless Wii controller in the events as I mentioned above. Events such as archery are played in the same style as a real archer would pull back his bow and release their arrow at a target (using the pull back motion of the controller and release of the button). Let’s not forget the traditionally sprint that is essentially a button bash of buttons to the finish line (but in all honesty Sonic should win this no doubt
).
This game is looking very awesome with the wide array of events such as hammer throw, long jump and hurdles. The additional of the multiplayer mode is just perfect and this will most certain be a must have title for the Wii!
