The Good:

* Adventure mode makes good use of characters
* Decent variety of events
* Can play with up to four people from a single cartridge.

The Bad:

* Most event minigames are shallow and easy
* Uninteresting mission objectives in Adventure mode.

Two years ago, Mario and Sonic joined forces for the first time to compete at the Beijing Summer Olympics. The result was a middling collection of sports-themed minigames that failed to deliver on the potential of that once-forbidden union. Never ones to give up, Mario and Sonic have reunited to hit the slopes and skating rinks of Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Games. It offers a slightly more diverse and entertaining assortment of events than its predecessor, but it still falls well short of earning a medal.
