Mario Strikers Charged

Mario Strikers Charged

Strengths: Fun arcade soccer, great multiplayer!

Weakness: CPU difficulty ramps up as you progress through the different cups.

Mario Strikers Charged is the sequel to Mario Strikers for the Gamecube. I haven't played the original so review does not compare the two. MSC is another sports game from Nintendo starring Mario. Here you can call upon shells, bananas and other special items to help your team out. It's basically Mario Kart but on the soccer pitch. Speaking of soccer, this game feels more like a hockey game...

Great fast paced game!

Strengths: Soccer on the Wii, Online Multiplayer, Familiar Characters, easy controls

Weakness: Steep learning curve to playing online. Some characters have unfair advantages against others.

This game is tons of fun, especially if you like soccer. Depending on your character, your gameplan can be very diverse. The power shooters are tough to play against online, but if you know how to play good defense you should be okay. This game is very fun and addicting, well worth the price tag. Even playing singleplayer is fun because you unlock characters and new stages. I would give this game...

Another fun title for the Wii

Strengths: Sharp graphics, fast paced, fun and addictive

Weakness: addictive, Actually the one real weakness I see is that you can only have one single player "season" going at a time.

Let me start by saying that I have never played a mario strikers game before this one and also I am not really into soccer or hockey. I got this game because I heard it was a lot of fun and I am not disappointed. This game is great for single player and gets even better with a room full of friends. The online play is smooth but you are playing with people online so you probably know what that...

Fantastic Game

Strengths: - great game play! - fast paced and chaotic (in a good way!) - lots of multiplayer fun

Weakness: - none so far

This game is just great. It's fun, exciting, and always gets some great laughs. The best part of this game is probably the multiplayer -- having a bunch of people in the room enjoying the chaos is just something else. Being the first wi-fi enabled game as well makes this game a must have. Go get it now!

Mario Strikers Charged is my favorite game so far.

Strengths: Clean graphics, intuitive controls, responsive controls, great color, easy concept, fun single-player, great for up to 4 friends, online matches, improvement in almost every area from Gamecube version

Weakness: Can't have more than one single player campaign going at once, not enough characters

I got this game the 2nd day after it was released in the US. The only reason I didn't get it the first day is because none of the stores had any! After playing single-player, with some friends, and online, I'd say that playing with friends was the best experience. Here's why: 1. Single player - Although fun, I realized that I wanted to change my team halfway through the Crystal Cup (2nd of 4...

My Favorite Soccer Game

Strengths: Fun; great graphics

Weakness: none

I have tried several soccer games on different platforms and never feel soccer games are interesting. Mario Strikers Charged (Wii) is quite amazing. It is easy to control, fun to watch the special effects (like megashots for example), and is able to play with people online. Highly recommend to try it even if you are not a soccer fan.

Nintendo Wii Mario Strikers Charged

Strengths: Mario Strikers Charged has solid online multiplayer against random people and great offline multiplayer.

Weakness: You have to re-enter friends codes of people you're already linked to on your Wii. Just because a few friends are in your Mii Plaza does not mean that they'll show up once they buy this game.

Anyone who enjoyed the last Mario Strikers game will find Mario Strikers Charged to be an improvement. This is the first Wii game to do online play and do it well. Those looking for a deep and entertaining single-player experience won't necessarily find it here, but anyone out for some good, solid multiplayer fun, either offline or online, would do well to check out Mario Strikers Charged.

One of the Best Wii Games

Strengths: Great online WiFi play, expanded single player game

Weakness: Not very elaborate single player

Mario Strikers Charged is the best online Wii game without a doubt (at the moment). This is such an improvement from the GameCube version in so many ways. Your teams are much more customizable instead of having just one "helper." Single player has been greatly expanded to include progressively difficult cups that have decent unlockables. This isn't a very good game to showcase the Wii controller...

Mario Strikers - Online

Strengths: Same crazy gameplay from the original, now with online

Weakness: As with most online games of this type, there are exploits

Mario Strikers was a great arcade soccer game for the Cube. It was somewhat underappreciated, coming near the end of the Cube's lifecycle, which is probably the motivation for this enhanced and online follow-up. Not much has changed, graphically or with the core gameplay. Added environmental variables and the ability to choose your wingmen individually are nice touches. Online is the big draw as...

Mario Strikers Charged

Strengths: Takes the very fun Super Mario Strikers game and adds bells and whistles (including online play)!

Weakness: Single-player gets very difficult and frustrating, online can have lag issues

Super Mario Strikers was one of the greatest 2-4 player Gamecube games. The arcade-style soccer game was a blast to play with friends and offered a nice, though shallow, single-player experience. Mario Strikers Charged, the sequel for the new Wii system, improves on many elements of the first game: the graphics are a bit better, the new fields have environmental effects which adds some variety to...
