Editorial Review: Product Description: Mario takes to the soccer pitch once more, bringing his own unique 'fighting football' style for the first time to Nintendo's Wii console, with Mario Strikers Charged Football. In this follow-up to Mario Smash Football, you use the skill provided by the Wii Remote and Nunchuk Controller to win the ball, score unstoppable goals and take control of the goalkeeper to perform spectacular saves Mario is joined by other famous Nintendo characters who take on the role of captain. Then select a host of popular team-mates to make up the rest of the team, before competing in one of the game's many modes. Anything goes in Mario Strikers Charged Football as you can utilise a variety of special techniques to clinch goals. Each captain has their own set of skills and Super Abilities as well as being able to perform special shots called MegaStrikes, where the ball splits into six and flies at the goal. The defending player must use the Wii Remote to aim at and shoot these balls out of the air before they concede a goal. You can also charge the ball with energy, making it more likely to find its target. Each of the stadiums in Mario Strikers Charged Football have various characteristics and contraptions, which you must learn to use to your advantage to truly dominate the pitch. Amazon.co.uk Preview: If you don’t recognise the name, this is the sequel to Mario Smash Football on the GameCube (the name will likely change for the UK release). The original was one of the hidden gems on Nintendo’s previous console, but this new game is not planning to be quite so coy. For a start it will be one of, if not the, first Wii games to be fully playable online, as Mario and his usual company of heroes and villains take to the pitch for some truly bizarre 5-a-side action. Although the basic rules of football are observed this is no serious simulation, with special moves galore and lots of Mario Kart style power-ups to pick up along the way. The game uses the analogue stick on the nunchuck to move, with the Wii remote itself being used to tackle by gesturing in the appropriate direction. There’s no such thing as a foul in this game so not only do you take possession via a range of painful looking barges but you can also try and push an opposing player off the side of the pitch and into an electrified fence. Other elements not usually featured in the beautiful game include the "mega strike", which is a special move unique to each captain and which creates an automatic shot on goal which the other player has to save with the Wii remote. With football games becoming ever more serious and complicated this should please both sports fans and those simply looking for the next big multiplayer hit. HARRISON DENT Manufacturer's Description: Mario Strikers: Charged Football is different from the average football game and is even more exciting and engaging than ever before, with a strong emphasis on each team’s captain. These star players each have unique abilities and enhanced skills, which allow them to really influence the outcome of a game. The team captains all feature a Super Ability which can be used to devastate their opponents, ranging from Mario growing to giant proportions and trampling other players, to Peach taking a photo and freezing the entire opposing team on the spot. Tactical use of these super abilities can break down even the most stubborn defence. To top this off, in Mario Strikers: Charged Football players can choose 3 side-kicks (from a total of 8) who each have their own unique features which allows for tactical team customisation. The Wiimote brings a dynamic new element to Mario Strikers: Charged Football, encouraging the player to make instinctive physical movements to achieve the desired effect within the game. Basic movement and strikes are executed using the analogue stick and buttons on the Wiimote and Nunchuk, but when the pressure is on, players can use their instinctive movements to affect the gameplay. Flicking the Wiimote will cause the character to check their opponent, hopefully stealing the ball in the process. Players can also use the Wiimote to perform cat-like saves, defending their goal from Megastrikes by grabbing the balls out of the air. In Mario Strikers: Charged Football the sense of fair play is thrown out the window along with the rulebook. Fouled players get special treats with which to avenge themselves, ranging from Red Spiky Shells, which knock everything out of their path, to the Chain Chomp that chases players from the opposing team around the pitch. One of the many modes this game features is the multiplayer mode which can see up to four players in any one game (players must split between two teams). Players can also utilise Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service to take on players from across the globe. Multiplayer modes include Ranked mode where players can compete to climb up leaderboards and Unranked mode where they can quickly select and play friends. The game’s main mode, Road to the Striker Cup, pits players against increasingly difficult opposition as they compete to win three different cups. For quicker pick-up and play action the game’s Domination Mode allows players to set-up a game to suit them, defining the rules as well as selecting stadium and cheats. With an in-depth main mode and a plethora of extra features you won’t take your eye off the ball in Mario Strikers: Charged Football. There is a wide and varied choice of 17 stadiums in which to defend your crown. Many of them have varying features and characteristics to put you off your game and challenge you to even greater heights. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - VERY good, but...Mario Strikers Charged is an AWESOME game! A huge advantage is that you can play online, and it was the first online game you could play on the wii. WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT : The very basics of football: you need to score more goals than you conceed, but with our nintendo characters as players and a no-foul policy. Also, there are crazy stadiums (some resembling obstacle courses!) and a ball that charges itself to give more power to shots and passes... (!) This means each team has an artillery of weapons and moves in its different (or same) characters, who have individual skills and strenghts. The team is composed of: a goalkeeper, same for every team, incredibly agile and quite unrealistic, making ... Read More: Rating:  - Strikes the buttonTop class game. Mario Strikers is a 5-a-side football based (loosely!) game. It's sort of a tie between the Premiership and Aussie Rules and NFL all roled into one manic, wipeout-speed, violent football game. To be honest, like any "football" game, it is better multiplayer, esp 4 players (fully supported), and my favourite at the minute is 2 player cup mode. Two players can go through all three cups as one team, like a cooperative story mode. All modes of the game are thoroughly enjoyable, and don't disappoint for pure manic adrenaline filled fun. Shaking the wii-remote to tackle is a stroke of genius and really does make you feel involved in the game and the characters. And speaking of the characters, they all have different "powerups" ... Read More: Rating: - Mario Strikers Chargei thought that it was really easy to control your players but very difficult to score Rating: - Amazing funAt first, I didn't think much of this game. But now after 3 or so days I LOVE IT! I can't stop playing it. The reason I didn't give this game 5 stars was because it can be very frustrating at times. I have already thrown the wii remote to my head and nearly knocked me out due to being so mad. This game is a very fun game. It's really addictive and is a very well made enjoyable game on most occasions. It also can be very good on wi-fi, but again can be frustrating. Highly reccomended and a must buy to all mario lovers out there + a really funny football game, a great game to play with the family. Rating:  - Football with a difference Mario Strikers Charged Football is something that is extreme i mean it is hard the game starts easy and before you know your opponent is scoring 13 goals in less then 1 minute. If you remember Sega Soccer Slam this is kind of like that but with Mario characters. This game looks ok and at times looks a little cheap but it can be fun the online mode is pretty good though i could never spend all day on it that would get boring. The music is not bad but it is nothing special. I find the power shots annoying as your trying to play then goes into graphics where the player jumps so high and power kick or with their hands. Then the game puts you as the goalkeeper trying to save the ball is annoying because it puts you right off the game. ... Read More: |
