Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
SCORE: 72
It was a great day when I found out Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on the Nintendo 3DS for a review. The PR and Marketing for Nintendo continue to fail Family Friendly Gaming Universe. We will continue to be honorable and ethical in the face of their failures.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is an arcade based Olympics game. We get many of the activities from the Olympics in this hand held video game. Players can take them on immediately, or go through the story mode. If you go through the story mode you have to pick a gym. There is one for Mario and one for Sonic.
Families need to be informed of the violent content found within Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. They are things like punching, kicking, stabbing, shooting and more. From things like archery, fencing, judo, and more. If you let your kids watch the Olympics then Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is not much worse.
What is bad in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is the controls. Some activities control great, and others are a complete pain. Some activities worked great one time, and a total failure the next time. The lack of consistency is one of the reasons I believe Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is worth twenty dollars brand new. Any more than that is excessive in my playbook.
Four family members can play Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with one game cartridge. Four Nintendo 3DS devices are needed though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games also encourages real world walking. There is a mode where the game is put into sleep, and the family member walks around the neighborhood to earn rewards like melons. Which can be traded in for better gear.
