This is the third home console entry in the Mario & Sonic series, and although it does a lot of things better than the previous two games...I think this one falls short in a few aspects.
Compared to the 2010 one, this one lacks a story mode, instead being replaced by a weird Mario Party like game mode called "London Party" which....Was ok....But not nearly as fun or in depth as the one in 2010. Other than that, this one comes with new olympic events, and brings back all of the same events from the first game, only better.
Some of the new dream events are great, like the Mario Galaxy themed ones, or the dream equestrian event where you have to protect the Yoshi eggs. However, to me the other dream events are pretty lackluster and don't reach the same hights from the 2010 game, especially the figure skating one.
Overall, still a pretty fun time and still one of my favorite games to constantly replay on the Wii with my friends and family. Definitely just play this one and the Winter 2010 Olympics one, since it seems this franchise only went downhill from here.
