Hello. I have bought the game a few days ago and I have already accomplished so much, because there is also a lot to do (even when not doing any of the events).

The game is somewhat an improvement from the last Olympic games, however the gameplay is still a bit unbalanced (some events are very difficult to learn and master while others are dead easy). Though, I do like the fact that you can still use your Miis, but there are more characters than there was in the last game. The animation is a bit choppy but a bit better. The festival mode is much better than the circuit mode in the other game, and gives it a much more feeling of the Olympics, the Rivals are very surprising as some of them are a challenge. Though, the shopping mode does have its purpose (such as the Music Shop and the Library), but I feel it to be unnecessary (with the sports shop and the boutique shop) because there really is no pshysical improvement for your Mii, just make it look better, though I like the dresses for the Figure Skating event for the female Miis. So, what are your views?

Haven't got it yet, but I think it looks immense!
The Wii balance board needs a Mario game on it, and what better than winter sports?

I absolutely love this game. In fact, looking back at the first Mario and Sonic Olympics, I can see how generic it really was. Especially compared to this - I daily do the Dream Events and most of the regular Snowboard/Ski Cross events.

The items of clothing you buy for your Mii do affect stats.

I think it's a million times better than the first game, but it's still disappointing that we don't have an online mode. Ice hockey in particular would be even more addictive online. The beauty lies in its simplicity.
