Back to Mobile View  Skip to Content  Hands on with Sonic at the
Olympic Winter Games  Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games [iTunes
link] brings a mobile version of the Sonic franchise to the
iPhone for this timely-themed product. It is officially licensed
by the Vancouver Olympic games. With it, you can try your hand
at curling, figure skating, snowboard cross, and skeleton, i.e.
sports you probably never thought you'd actually be playing on
an iPhone.  If you're a big fan of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog,
and you like the way the Sonic games play on other devices,
you'll be pleased that a lot of the same feel and gameflow have
been ported quite successfully to the iPhone. As with other
Sonic games, you select the character you want to portray and
you are randomly matched against other characters in the
Sonicverse. You can choose from single player one-sport events,
multiplayer, and circuit mode, where you play all four events.
The graphics are superb and the user interface development is
top notch. A lot of care
