Gameplay
Like the previous game in the series which centered around the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games features player chosen characters from both the Mario and Sonic game universe, entered into events taken directly from and inspired by the upcoming 2009 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada. The game features a variety of play modes, both single player and competitive multiplayer, including the new mission-based play of the Adventure Tours Mode. In addition to actual Olympic events players can also participate in winter-themed mini-games sprinkled throughout the game.

Plenty of Events
Prepare to compete in the Olympic Winter Games with your friends and family like you never thought possible. The action in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is made up of a combination of actual Olympic sports and special Dream Events, which are winter-oriented activities all about fun and that are specific to this particular game. Just a few of the actual Olympic events that players can look forward to trying their hand at include: alpine skiing, snowboard cross, bobsled, figure skating (singles) and skeleton. Dream events include, but are not limited to: extreme snowboarding, ski cross racing and fever hockey.

Some of the games are challenging to my ten year old daughter. Perhaps she does not try her best to play them as she is busy with other games and , school assignments.

My 5 year old was captivated by the 2010 Winter Olympics! Just after the games he was interested in buying this game with money he had saved. He has been very happy with his purchase. In fact, he loves it so much that I have to limit the time he spends playing it. He has only had a DS four months, but seemed to pick up on how to play this game quickly by running the demo features.
