Advantages: Some great events and a chance to dress your Mii up for winter. Disadvantages: This game will hold your attention, but for how long is a different matter.
With the Winter Olympics fast approaching it?s time for the old rival companies Nintendo and Sega to reunite for their third game outing together to feature characters from the two respective gaming series? in the form of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics. The game is the first in the range of various games that are being released to coincide with the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver and will be exclusive to the Wii and Nintendo DS, well after all Nintendo aren?t going to let Sony and Microsoft get their grubby little hands on their prize characters now are they.
