Mario Sports Mix

I am a 42 yr. old gamer and I think game is pretty fun game even when soloing. Don't mind what the critics say when they compare it to the other Mario sports games, and say it's not as good as those games. In my opinion it's just as good, and as much fun as the other Mario sports games, and was an awesome added bonus to my Mario sports collection. No they don't have all the mini games, and a bunch of unlockables like the other Mario sports games that are dedicated to the one sport, but that doesn't mean it isn't just as fun to play. The graphics, sounds, controls and characters and their unique abilities are just as good as the other Mario sports games I have. I got this game mostly for the dodgeball game. I have always loved the Super Dodgeball game so I figured this should be just as awesome with the Mario characters, and it definitely was. The other sports games on this had me a little skeptical about playing, but once I played them I realized how much fun they were as well. The controls were very good with the Wii remote, and actually kind of surprised me how smooth they were. I Suggest getting this game from Amazon warehouse deals in like new condition, it was great deal . The one I got from them looked like it was never even played, and even came with the old nintendo club code. Everything that the came with it looked brand new, even smelled new. I rarely buy Wii games used but seeing as this game is going for such a high price brand new, I could only afford this game used. Before buying this I wished I would have bought it last year brand new when it was a much lower price, but the like new condition I got it from Amazon for about the same price made me very happy. If you love anything Mario then this is a must have game to add to your collection in my opinion.

We purchased this product, Mario Sports Mix, at Amazon.com shortly before Christmas for our niece and nephew, ages 8 and 7, at the suggestion of their mother who said they were eager to have this game. We haven't played it, so can't rate it, but the children thanked us profusely and seemed very pleased, so we rated it high. Sounded like a fun, interactive game appropriate for children their age. We were extremely impressed at the quality and speed of service we recieved from Amazon.com. Even within a week of Christmas, we recieved this item snail mail shipping, in 2 days. What a lifesaver for us.

A very fun Mario (and sports) game even by Wii U and 3DS standards, each venue is well crafted and each character has their own stats. The game also rewards you just for playing as certain characters (win or lose) with outfits. Another cool thing about this game is that, being developed by Squaresoft, they put in multiple Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters to unlock, although some may find this irritating as they are the only ones you can unlock (all Mario characters are available at the start of the game, but I've heard rumors about unlocking Rosalina from Mario Galaxy.) I can't think of a reason for someone not to try this.

This game makes my 9 year old cry and my husband swear!! That is not fun for any of us!!My son was just playing dodgeball around the world, and had 2810 points. He lost one game and lost 140 points. That would be OK if he also won a appreciable amount of points when he wins. BUT, he only gets 5-6 points for winning a game!!!! It will take him a month, or more, to get those 140 points back if he kept winning every game. No wonder no one is playing around the world. My son thinks the games are great, but the player scoring is awful.When playing hocking, the computer goalie loses for them all the time.

Disappointed in this game after playing so many other fun games on our Wii. I expected more "stand-up" action, but this is one that can be played from the couch - so of course that's what the kids do! All the controls for the game are on the wii remote, and require virtually no movement - other than an occasional shake of the remote - to make things happen. I gave it three stars instead of two, though, because my 9-year-old son and his friends still really enjoy it. I, personally, would like to see more movement, as in other Wii games.
