GREAT Game! December 1, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
-First of all, I loved this game, and recommend it to all people of all ages.
-You may think that the graphics for the Nintendo Wii really aren't that great. This game opens an entire new era to graphics on the Wii. Realistic fields, backgrounds, and characters makes this Mario product lovable.
-Single Player-
-When you're a newbie, being your first time playing this game, It's REALLY fun. You pick up the controls really easily, ranging from 10-20 minutes. Once you pick up the fast tempo of the game, you can start taking on higher levels of AI, harder stadiums, etc. All and all for single player though, It doesn't quite compare to multiplayer. Computer players really don't knock you out of your socks like your friend would.
-Multiplayer-
-Lovely. Very, very lovely. It's fun, challenging, and really irritating at the same time. Competing head to head with someone just brings up the bloodthirsty side of you for the thirst for competition. You can play over the internet on the Wi-Fi connection for great gameplay and competition. See your rank, friend list, and much more over the internet with absolutely no lag in clear, crisp, games for a ton of fun.
-Extra-
-Learn to play the game with the Mario 101 guide.
-In single player, play different levels of computers leading up to the almost impossible to beat Strikers cup!
-Have a ton of fun by yourself, with your friends, or as a family with the excellent graphics, controls, gamplays, stadiums, characters, and more.
-Your sidekicks now have their own special shots and work really well from different parts of the field.
-You can charge B to unleash a Megastrike, which launches 3-6 balls at 3 different speeds at the goalie. If you're on the goalie side of the ball, you can move the Wii remote over the ball and block it with A.
-Use special abilities, powerups, to have an ultimate experience.
-You can really never get bored of this game, unless you play it for 5 hours straight.

This is the best game to play with people all over the world. The only thing it needs is a headphone to trash talk with the other players and it can get a little annoying when a person gets a super strike.
A great Mario game....with some flaws November 22, 2007

Overall, this game is lots of fun. There are 12 Captains for each team (you start out with 9, but you unlock 3 more), and 8 Sidekicks. For every team that has five players on it, the Captain, 3 Sidekicks, and the goalie, named Kritter. There are 5 different difficulty levels, with about 20 stadiums. There is a one-player mode that takes you through 3 different tournaments, which constantly get harder and harder. Each sidekick has their own special type of kick and deke. The captains have their own special ability different from any other player- Bowser can shoot fire, Waluigi can put out out this special wall of thorns that make him move much faster and blocks players and items from getting through the wall. There are four different types of stats- Defense, Shooting, Passing and Movement(how fast your player can go with the ball). The Captains have this special type of shot called a Megastrike. This launches from 3 to six balls at three different speeds at the opposite goalie. If you are defending the Megastrike, you point at the balls and click the A button when they pop up, blocking the Megastrike.
Pros-
Tons of characters and stadiums to choose from.
Lots of useful items
Creative Gameplay - There is more than one different type of mode.
Its Funny!! - You can just smash into people that are nowhere near the ball! It's really entertaining.
Cons-
The goalies can miss the easiest shots, sometimes they will just trickle by Kritter.
The tournament is annoying, for if you lost just once in the knockout rounds, or if you restart the Wii without saving, you're disqualified.
It gets kinda boring pretty fast, but is really fun to play in moderation.
Overall-
This game is great. I would definitely recommend it to any Mario fan.
Pretty darn fun November 21, 2007

I bought this game on the advice of a local game addict in Brooklyn. I know the Olympics and Galaxy games had just come out but I wanted something fun for my roommate and I to play or for parties besides Sports. Galaxy is an one-person game was out, and Olympics seemed slightly kid-like, so I went with the Strikers recommendation. (I was told FIFA was pretty boring and it is true this totally rocks over it.) Plus, I wanted a great party game for 20&30somethings which all of my friends are. Strikers is perfect for that. All of my friends who have game skills (as in they can pick up Madden or Woods in an hour) love it, but my friends who find mastering tennis or bowling on wiiSports difficult are a little frustrated that there's so much functionality. Overall, we are huge fans in the household and just more determined to teach the new gamers. Getting to play as a Mario character is a ton of fun and I really enjoy being able to use the mushrooms to grow into a giant and stomp other characters, or knock them off the floating playing field, or throw hammers as the turtle before scoring a goal. The skill levels don't seem to differ too much which I hope they improve in another version, but playing online is awesome. Unfortunately, my roommate and I stink compared to the folks playing online, so there's a lot more (enjoyable) effort to be put into this for the both of us. Plus, bragging rights have not yet been settled.

I liked this game at first, and it is fun. However, after a while the game becomes repetitive and a little boring. The animations start to become a little stale after you've seen them a few times. The online play is a little complicated to set up. You have to trade codes to actually play against anyone; there's no just jumping online to play.
Overall, I would say this game is a rent not a buy.
