Our own Asif Khan reviewed Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 and awarded it a 9 out of 10. Here's what he had to say about the game.
"Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is an excellent game with a fabulous soundtrack and fan service for fans of either franchise. The game's Story Mode does a great job of introducing players to all of the mini-games, while also teaching them about the rich history and culture of Tokyo. Sega has done a great job as ambassadors for the city of Tokyo, and the 1964 retro 2D mini-games and events are nostalgia-filled romps that will leave players smiling from ear to ear."
If you're interested in checking it out before plunking down your hard-earned cahs, you definitely can now that a demo's available. Just don't be surprised if it eats up a massive chunk of your time.
