Portable Gamer writes: "Overall, I found this game to be clever and charming, even though the Olympic events and venues, while enjoyable, were not particularly motivating to replay. With the combination of iconic gaming characters, fun gaming mechanics, interesting events and an an engaging storyline, I think all gamers, young and young at heart, will appreciate having this in their DS arsenal."

Don’t like sports? There’s a whole segment of games you can immediately write off, as far as you’re concerned. Or can you?

Brad Woodling and Graham Russell are here to help with a list of games you should check out even if they have sports in them, because you’re missing out on a lot of fun.
Mario + Sonic = Jumping the shark
Sonic and Mario together is still heresy to me, but at least this game turned out decent enough.
Isn't it a little early to be talking about the winter olympics?
It's a fun game!
