This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge 2008
In a sea of Wii shovelware, Wii Winter Sports isn’t the worst choice you could make. Conspiracy apparently picked this one up for cheap, but for fans of downhill skiing and a handful of other Olympic events, “The Ultimate Challenge 2008” will satisfy for at least long enough to warrant a rental. The control works for the most part (aside from a pretty unsatisfying curling experience), but it’s never more than a quick arcade-inspired mini-game the likes of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The graphics aren’t nearly as polished as official screens would have you believe, and the game – while better than every other Conspiracy effort thus far – grows dull fast. Unless you can find this one extremely cheap, skip it.

Random sampling procedures were employed to ensure the respondents accurately reflect the nation’s 42.7 million 8-17 year olds in terms of age, race/ethnicity, gender and census region. The margin of error is +/- 3.2 percent at the 95 percent confidence interval.
This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games by CVG
On top of the 20-plus Olympic events, a few Mario and Sonic-themed games are on the way. For franchise fans this probably carries the most significance - seeing Sonic amidst Nintendo level furniture and Mario having to deal with rings instead of coins is more in the vein of what we were expecting from the title as a whole.
We can probably expect these events to have more of a minigame vibe to them than the main events, padding out four-player simultaneous play in a game where events are naturally tuned towards turn-taking party sessions. It’s not the game’s fault as such, but outside of track events just how would four players interact?
This is looking like a sturdy entry into the track and field genre, but one slightly lacking in character. We want blood-feuds, but we’re seeing friendly competition. We hope the release will reveal our fears unfounded.
