During the week I went back to Mario and Sonic and something great happened; I became HOOKED. True, when I first got it I couldn't stop playing it, but now this was for real. I went back to the game and decided to get all the trophies, all the medals, all the emblems and beat every challenge the game has to offer. During this I realized that even if gamers, the media and even Sega themselves say that this game is aimed towards the casual and young audience the challenge is definitely hardcore.
Seriously, set your mind towards beating the game. You'll realize that it becomes a test in patience, strenght and skill, and I ain't kidding. Try beating all of the circuit modes in one sitting, get the high scores in the events and use each character to your advantage. You'll quickly realize that no casual or young gamer will be able to stomach this.
Mission mode is the game's biggest challenge as some missions require you to be very precise, fast and skillful with the character. I doubt any casual gamer would try to beat a challenge in the required time. This was designed with the hardcore in mind.
This is a lot like Wii Sports; both games are extremely inviting and easy to learn, but when you decide to challenge them a world of depth opens up to you. It ain't easy getting a pro rating in all the events, ESPECIALLY in boxing, and it ain't easy completely everything Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games have to offer. Mock me if you must, but this is what I think.
