User Reviews about Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Some of the games are challenging to my ten year old daughter. Perhaps she does not try her best to play them as she is busy with other games and , school assignments. -- It is a fun game

My 5 year old was captivated by the 2010 Winter Olympics! Just after the games he was interested in buying this game with money he had saved. He has been very happy with his purchase. In fact, he loves it so much that I have to limit the time he spends playing it. He has only had a DS four months, but seemed to pick up on how to play this game quickly by running the demo features. -- Great game

I got this game as a Christmas present. I LOVED this game! I recommend it for people who like Mario and Sonic ,like the Olympic games,or,who have a DSI or a DS. This game is just like being at the Olympics. There are so many different events! There is, Figure Skating, Skiing ,Snowboarding, Speed Skating,etc. I play it all the time:)
