Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...If anyone has played Mario Smash Football on the Game Cube you will already know what to expect from this game. However, as only about 197 people in the world have actually played the GC original (slight exaggeration, but the game was never a massive hit!) Mario Strikers isn’t really a Football game. This may sound strange what with the word Football right there in the title and all. Yes, the aim of the game is to get the ball in the net, but that ...
...As this is a Mario game, there are power-ups and objects that can be used the good old red shells and invincibility stars are here to unleash, but that is only half the story. Each team has an alligator in goal (of course) and you get to choose the other 4 players, each team having a captain and 3 side kicks. There are 10 captains with the likes Mario, Donkey Kong, Peach, Yoshi, Waluigi and Bowser all present. The captains all have strengths and ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...played on the Nintendo Wii, Mario Strikers Charged Football has a very limited "life". That is, after a day of playing, you'll never feel like picking up the handset to it again. The game was a lot of fun to begin with. Running around with characters such as Mario, Luigi, their evil counterparts - Wario and Waluigi and other characters such as Donkey Kong, Bowser, Yoshi and more. The game requires a Nunchuk to be attached to the Wiimote as controls ...
...game within a day. Mario Strikers Charged Football is fun to play for a few games with friends, but I wouldn't recommend the "Single Player Tournament" mode, as it simply gets boring. However, this seems to be the case for most of the games for the Wii console, so it cannot be looked to deeply into. Overall, I give this game 5/10. It is very fun and quirky to begin with, but does not offer enough features to have any sustainable game play - This ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...Straying away from the typical mario platform style games, mario Strikers: charged football is the sequel to the original gamecube title and is one of many mario sport spin-offs. On top of that, probably one of the best. Plus, the first wii game that allows you to compete online with people all around Europe and claim your spot on the European ranking table. The Game. For those not familiar with the game, it is simply a huge mega-fest of fast-paced, ...
...are various characters from the mario world and all have their own special skills and abilities that i will go through in more detail a bit later. Your team will consist of your captain and 3 sidekicks. The sidekicks can be the whoever you want and you can have more than one of the same, but wheres the fun in that?! The matches take place on small pitches, sized similar to a basketball court and the aim is to score goals, just like in football. the ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

Mario Strikers charged football was the first game to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. And this is what first attracted me to buy it. The actual game to me has more in common the fast paced end to end action of basketball rather than a skilled passing game of football. There are no free kicks off sides or throw-ins So if you are looking for an in anyway realistic footie sim you will need to keep looking. Your team is built around a captain Such ...
...wiii games as it relies on the use of friend codes, or playing some faceless person randomly. It is somewhat fun though in multiplayer if only you could skip the power shot cut scenes it would rate more highly in my opinion. Summary: Mario "football" with flaws ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...looked really good with the mario characters and each characters unique scoring moves. You pick a character out of the main characters like; Mario, Peach, Luigi, Peach etc etc. Then you pick 3 of the enemys from Mario to be you're team mates. The captians can unleash a powerfull megastrike scoring from 3 to 6 goals. You use the wii remote to save the ball. The Your 3 other team mates can do not powerful but major shots. Now i will talk about the ...
...my own opinion. **Controls** The controls are pretty straight forward. You use the Nunchuck stick to move. C to use the weapons. A to pass. When you hold down Z and press A it will perform a lob pass. Hold down B and press A will perform a fake pass. When the opposition performs a mega strike press A and point at the balls to save them. You use up or down buttons on the wii remote to perform a sliding tackle but i flick the wii remote. Holding ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

Having preordered this game a while ago, I finally went in and bought it yesterday. For various reasons I didn't get to play it until today. I've only been playing on it for a few hours (I'm not sure specifically; I didn't check). I'd heard that the soundtrack was amazing, and seconds after I put the disk into the Wii this was confirmed. Even it's disk channel music is great. The game started up relatively quickly and I decided the best place to ...
...follow and I was getting through them pretty quickly. Then the game through me straght into a match situation for the last tutorial, and the difficulty increased a lot. Now I wasn't just concentrating on one aspect of gameplay at a time. The difficulty took me by surprise and I failed miserably, but upon retrying I managed it. It was at this point that I realised that this was not going to be an easy game. Before I tell you about the gameplay ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...Another football game from mario this time for the wii, this is yet another simple game which is not exactly football due to the extreme measures you can go to suck as a super strike giving you the chance to score anything from 3-5 goals and with the array of weapons available to you the game can get very frustrating to keep hold of the ball against your opponent who will do everything they can to take the ball off you because thats the aim of the ...
...far as single player goes theres a few time trials and a couple of tournaments for you to win but they arnt challenging and as soon as you have wizzed your way through them you find that your not left with much else to do unless ofcourse your wii is hooked up to the internet in which case you can play people acroos europe, once again though this is very frustrating and if your anything of a desent player you will find yourself in a constant battle ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

Mario Strikers charged Football is a unique football (soccer for Americans) game. Firstly in this version there are no normally characters but Mario and his friends like Luigi and his villains like Bowser. This game makes good fun playing with a friend and is an interesting mix and is similar to something like Sensible Soccer that it is very unrealistic but this game adds Mario`s touch to it and that is what makes it unique and great fun to play ...
...shell or bomb similar to Mario Kart! These can really change the game and a good use of a shell can prevent the opponent from scoring a vital goal and winning the game! Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses and the sidekicks are good like Boo and they have special abilities! At times you cannot tell where the ball is and it is mad but for some reason I quite like this game it is not as good as Mario Kart but there are certainly worse ...

...bit more involved than previous Mario games many of which fail to capture my imagination and if this is the benchmark for the new MarioKart game then blimey Charley! This is the only game a have seen for Wii that allows online play. An Xbox style lobby feature is missing but once a game is set up play is smooth and hard to the core. Don't do what I did and try online play first, you may be embarrassed. These people are serious. ...

Review of Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)

...I was hooked. Mario Strikers charged football, is first and foremost a party game. It lacks a deep, plot driven career mode, instead favoring a heavy mix of multiplayer modes. Which will have you and your friends trapped indoors, unable to pull yourself away from "Just one more game". The controls seem overly simple. A = Pass B = Shoot Movement is controlled by the thumb stick. they don't get much easier than than. Those are just the basics however, ...
...lob, high pass, do skill moves and special attacks etc.... But in essence the controls are simple and easy to pick up. Graphically, the game is as good as you can expect from the wii, the occasional glitch here and there didn't really bother This, I believe is also the first game to include Wii online capabilities, correct me if I'm wrong. Its just a simple system of matchmaking but it increases the longevity tenfold, and will have you glued to your ...

For all Mario lovers you may not associate him with a game of this appearance, you may normaly associate him with a "proper" plaform game rather than seeing a giant lizard hammer a football past an armoured crocodile . But that is exactly what you get with Mario Strikers Charged Football, it is a tightened version of the hit game Mario Smash Football, but improved the proven formaula and is now the first Wii game in the UK that is online. Its impossible ...

Mario strikers charged football, is certainly not a game for the purest football fan. The game sets out in a five a side fashion only with itch surrounded with an electric fence you can ram your oppenents into in an ice hockey manner. You select 1 team captin which is one of the main mario characters such mario, luigi, peach, bower, DK, wario etc. they are 12 in all to unlock. then you select 3 other out field players, which give you a choice of ...

This is yet another crazy mario game where he attempts to play footbal. well dont let this fool you its not a football game at all its like a crazy mario game where you try to put a ball in your opponents net using anything you can possibly think ofto help you achieve it, with lots of items you can use and each team captain has their own special attack to help them to use the special power shot which means you can score anything from 3-5 goals providing ...
