Review of Mario u0026 Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

The Mario u0026 Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games you play on three favorite by many chord - the characters of the games Nintendo, Sega characters and, of course, do the Winter Olympics.Here expect to see bast tale about the snow-covered city of Sochi eyes of the Japanese, and you get a set of mini-games are not working properly.As in the previous parts of the series, in hiding for more than twenty competitions sixteen Olympic disciplines, from the familiar to hockey slalom and exotic for us curling. This also wormed pairs figure skating and a novelty for the Olympic Games - slopestyle, snowboarding.


The remaining eight mini-games include the regime "Dream Games", the series chip.There is plenty of developers dream up and presented us crazy winter fun, devised with an eye on the classic game Mario and Sonic - from crazy racing sled with Bullet Bill-onMushroom Kingdom and ending with a vigorous blend of golf and curling in the vast Green Hill Zone from Sonic games. There are crazy hockey style Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey at the ice arena located in area of ​​tropical city Delfino of Super Mario Sunshine, and other such things.


Almost all competitions are designed for teams of up to four people. For the second, third and fourth players in the game requires controllers WiiMote, And not necessarily, supporting and MotionPlus. They are able to read the movement of the controller in three axes instead of two - that, in theory, allows you to more accurately determine the position of the joystick in the space, but in practice almost never used. Many modes require WiiMote PlusBut some of them completely forget about it and then demand to pick up a plate.


If the word "Olympics" All your friends are scattered to the far corners, nothing will prevent the console to connect to the network and find the enemies there.Play over the Internet makes sense if you are in every way radeete for your favorite home - conquer new medals and world rating of the country will rise.


But even if the problem is with additional controllers and the company is resolved to really enjoy the Olympic competition hurt very strange management.First, be prepared for the constant shuffling controllers - this is suffering, such as the biathlon. However, where the controllers do not have to change just a little good: in most cases, are asked to press only at the right moment a certain button or wave the controller in time with the movements of the character.

And even such a primitive mechanics does not always work as it should - if the controller is floating in space, and the brake sensor, in a hurry.Because of this, the game often does not dare to set off even quite correct maneuvers, and as a result often have to fight not for the record - there would have to cope with the management!


Mario u0026 Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games - This is a step back for the already rather weak series. All the happy moments are offset by the Directorate and penalties in the mechanics - familiar faces is not enough to save a collection of vague and without mini-games.

Clumsy management;
Old controller Wii Mote will not work - only to support Motion Plus;
Some competitions are boring to yawn;
