A solid mix of balanced nintendo gameplay and traditional football spirit.
The single player is fun, if not a bit limited like Mario Kart. But its the local multiplayer which is where the fun is more me. Me and my mates spend a lot of time playing pro-ev socially in each others houses, and i found that this is where i enjoy Stikers the most. My attemps at playing online have been mixed, but honestly i dont even like playing pro ev online much.
The graphics in stikers, are probably the best i have seen on the Wii, and frankly i was surprised at how good it looked when i first saw it running.
The there are enough specials and ways of scoring goals, to keep your learning how to use the various characters, for a long time. But, as nintendo seem to manage effortlessley, they are near-perfectly balanced, as even the most complex moves, can be countered if you just know how.
For me, strikers is a breath of fresh air for my wii. The wiimote isnt overly used, the controlls are simple at first, but are deep upon exploration, the gameplay is addictive, the animations and graphics are incredibly impressive, and most of all its FUN.
Even when i loose games, i thoughouly enjoy playing them.
Somthing i dont think i could ever say about traditional footy games.
I really enjoy this game. I just hope the Wii gets more of this calibur more frequently.
