Curlings fine for me, I had a bit more difficulty with the speed skating at first, as did my nephew and sister.

Nephew went batshit loco over this game. Loves Mario, and loves Sonic so the two together was just like an early Christmas present. Should've seen his face, bless him. :wub:

The game itself isn't so bad, enough to pass the time. I'd like to see the Dream events though, apparently they're much more interesting.

I love this game series!
I play it always with my brother together, because playing it alone is not that much fun as with family or friends together!! :heart:
I'll buy the first one and the Winter Olympic Games for Wii both together after I have the money for it. :twothumbs My brother will be happy to play it again with me (I rented the game first, because I was curious about the gameplay): me as Sonic and he as Luigi! :D

Man I've forgotten how annoying GIFs can potentially be for advertisement which has since been superseded by Flash. Well at least gif uses fewer CPU cycles.

Wish they could do something more exciting crossover game than the olympics. Both franchises cover the same genre. Why don't they just go with 2-d side-scroller or 3-d platformer?

Do they have short track speed skating?
