Mario Scores Again..!

User Rating: 9.2 | Mario Strikers Charged Football WII
By KingKoop | Review Date:
The Wii’s first on-line game makes an appearance and to me it wasn’t a disappointment, focussing on single player mode first off there’s a lot to do (typical Mario-esque style) work your way through different cups unlocking a few nice extras such as characters and stadiums. The feel of the game isn’t much different to that of the GC (if you played that version) but it does play better in a sense, More selectable characters, improved gameplay and more interactive environments also lovely quirky opening cut-scene. There are numerous tips and tricks to be learned for each of your wingers and defenders on your team and all have their unique special abilities.

There’s also a challenge mode, in which you have certain scenarios to conquer or come back from which inevitably earn you more goodish rewards (Nintendo like to make you work don’t ya know!) Mario Strikers is for me the first game showing off what the Wii can do with its power (oh yes it has power) which makes upcoming titles even more highly anticipated. I was honestly a bit un-sure at first as to “how long it’ll last me” but looking at it now I know that one of the key features in Mario Strikers: Charged is the multiplayer value it offers. Like any good multiplayer it has to be fast and fun and there’s no challenge like another human as oppose to the cpu, this is also where Wi-fi comes in, it is a pain in the butt having to punch in Wii-friend codes all the time but when the game is up and running it’s worth it, and I noticed no lag on it (so far)
I don’t want to give to much away about the game, so all I can say is if you’re a Mario fan in any shape or form this is a must buy.

    Mario strikers charged football takes a sport we all know and love,football and strips it down to the bare bones and then builds a whole new game. But believe me that new game is just as brilliant. There are no fouls; no... Read Full Review

    When I first bought the previous iteration of Mario's Soccer world, I was a bit disappointed - The game's single player mode wasn't very extensive, and the game didn't have too much going for it in the way of unlockable... Read Full Review
