Customer Reviews
grandson picked it out and loves it By B. Stillwell (Louisiana)
My 7 year old grandson picked this game out on Amazon, and he loves it. He can understand all the game, and he plays for hours.

Great Game By A Kid's Review
All in all this is a great game. There are though a few problems. Those of you who liked the first version and the 400, there is no 400 in this one. Neither is there Pole Vault or High Jump. In Swimming there is no relay. Archery also is no longer there. All the Dream Events are still great, all of them are different. Pretty good at an overall view.

The best of the series By H. Tracy
This edition is the best in the series for good reason as I felt the first one to be too hard and the next one to be too easy and this one is perfect single match is funner now and it has new events like badminton ,soccer ,beach volleyball and Horse riding even though it probably should have new characters.

Fun for seasoned gamers and newbies alike By C. Facteau (Camp Pendleton, CA., USA)
I remember playing Sonic as a kid, back when it was on the Sega platform. Technology has given new life and versatility to this beloved character, but the fun factor remains the same. I bought this as a gift for my teenage son, and he had a lot of fun playing it (and even invited me in to attempt to play myself...a rarity for my "anti-old people" teen...haha!). Sonic is a classic character, and this game doesn't disappoint.

London Here We Come By BigAckee
This was a gift for my nephew. In his own words, "I love it uncle D...". Apparently, this is one of the favorite games for preteen boys.

For all ages By Mindi T
I actually haven't played this game yet, but my kids have. My son wanted this game for his birthday, but so far has only played it a couple of times. I still think it was a good buy since you can't go wrong with Mario games. We have the Winter olympics game as well. We like how both games give you a bunch of different options of play. My son likes the summer games because he's more into those sports. It's something my younger kids can play and I like that! One day I will sit down and play with them, but for now I'll let them play.

Fun game By Steady1515
My daughter loves playing this game. She really loves the gymnastics events and especially loves earning the stickers when she does well at the event.

Excellent game for the family By N. Decapia (Eagan, MN USA)
