4.0 out of 5 stars Fun!!, August 3, 2008

I just started playing this game so I have not even unlocked all the characters or events yet, but from what I have seen so far this game is a lot of fun. You choose different characters to compete in four events in one group of events like track and field or swimming. So far the only thing I don't like about this game is that for some of the events you have to move the stylus very fast along a bar and if you don't move it fast enough your character does not build up power to do well in the events. But my arm gets tired moving the stylus like that over and over again. The game can also get frustrating if you keep trying to qualify in events and you don't do well enough to qualify. But overall, I would recommend this game. Once you get into it, it is a lot of fun!

Love this cute little offering. Great intro into the various aspects and dynamics of the almost complete host of T&F sports PLUS DIVING! (now what has that got to do with T&F? ... I suppose you could say it falls under "track")

Cute simulation. Love the gameplay. Cute avatars for role playing the athlete.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best game for the NDS, October 16, 2008

This is a must have for any nds owner. Not only it is fun to play alone but it is a great party game as well. I will put it number 2 after Mario Kart.
Just make sure you have a screen protector...and do not play it everyday or your arm will hurt.

You can do multiplayer with one cartridge only but it is quite slow to load. I really think it is worth buying the game for the whole family. I have two kids and we each play the game on our own and then connect. Again a great game with a lot of replay value.

A must have.
