Mario Strikers Charged Review

Mario, Luigi, Bowser, DK...they're all here. Hammer Brother, Dry Bones, Shy Guy, Boo, they're along for the ride too! Soccer fans rejoice...Mario Strikers Charged is a fantastic soccer game for the Wii.

The best thing about this game is it's use of the Wii controls. I've tried about 30 wii games so far and this one uses the wii remote sparingly, and perfectly, the best combination. Shake the nunchuck to tackle. Block shots by pointing and clicking against the clock. The controls actually work in this title, and the game by no means relies on intricate maneuvers that never seem to work.

The mayhem is my second favorite thing about this game. From lava pools to tumbling cows, to shells and bananas...they're always something crazy going on in the field! Each character has their own special power ups and moves, and each field has its own quirks. I guess the only things that hold this one back is its repetitiveness...I've only played it for about a few hours. I'm not bored yet by any means, but I'm not sure how long this is going to last for me. I finished the fire cup with ease, I hope it gets harder.

AWESOME. BUY. NOW.
