Is the game that good? Or are fanboys just buying it for the heck of it?

Ever since its release in November of 07 for the Wii and January release for the DS (Feb on some parts of the world) Mario and Sonic has gone and sold over 5 Million copies worldwide in its 3 month period.

“With adored icons and fun game play, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has shot to the top of the sales charts and is clearly resonating with the growing audience of casual gamers that want an engaging and accessible gaming experience."

I played the game Mario and Sonic and I must tell that it is not that great of a game. I'm not the only one who thinks so, Mario and Sonic averages a 68% on reviews all around the web. Is the game really this good that I am missing something or not seeing something that over 5 Million people see? Yes I know that its Mario and Sonic together on one game along with its full cast of characters but that doesn't mean that this game is a great game.

This game is more of a rental than a must buy.
