Customer Reviews
The game has four characters (sonic/ tails/ knuckles/ amy), five events and takes a decidedly less realistic take on the 'games than the wii and ds versions do. There's discus, 1500m, triple jump, 400m hurdles and javelin. The throwing events give you the (almost comical) ability to control your discus/ javelin to an extent (as you would a glider) after your throw, making it avoid eggman balloons and collect rings. Uhh, yeah.
The running/ jumping events are fairly similar affairs, with your character running automatically and you hitting a button as they run over panels, with your button-press timing affecting their speed.
It's basically just a high-score contest, although the simple nature of most of the events mean that it's actually possible to perform 'perfectly' with relative ease, which somewhat defeats the purpose.
Surprisingly though, despite only being a pretty simple phone game, it's still got the official olympic license. The graphics are decent enough for what it is, with a nice bit of parallax scrolling thrown in for good measure (which I think was removed from the mobile conversions of sonic 1 and 2).
There's not a whole lot to do in here, but what little there is is incredibly polished and well put together.

I got this game in replace of hancock, which support was very helpful in dealing with and i’m glad I choose sonic. Anyway, in this game you play as sonic, tails, knuckles and amy. There are five major events you can master, which are discus, 1500 meters, triple jump, 400m hurdles and javelin. The controls are very easy to get the hang of but the easier you do the level the harder it gets. Overall completely worth it!

Nothing like the wii or ds version, go for playman summer games instead as its more fun and playable.
