    My GOD we need more Mario games like this. I absolutely love how much spunk and personality each and every one of the characters has in this game, and I really wish that they were all more like this in other games.

It is a blast to play both by yourself and with a couple of buddies. This is a gem of a Mario game and is one of the few sequels that absolutely outshines its predecessor (Super Mario Strikers for the GameCube). Definitely worth playing if you haven't checked it out already.… Expand

    Very fun game and very nice mecanics and gameplay. I use to play more than 4 hours per day so I has to be a good game if I spend so much time on it. Recommended.

    Very enjoable gameplay and even to this day i still play it from time to time because its fun as **** Only thing is the difficulty in this game can sometimes be extremely frustrating. Overall I really liked this "edgy style" of Mario games

    Just as if not better than the original GameCube game, and that game was already near perfect. The new controls do take some getting used to however you get it fairly quickly. There is some slowdown in some sections but other than that this is a must-have for any Wii collection.

That Mario Strikers feeling is back and more intense than before. The character roster has been upgraded with a few more team captains and more sidekicks to choose from, and you can now have many different sidekicks on your team rather than it being restricted to a bunch of one type. Every stadium from the first game returns along with a bunch of new ones added, and those ones have more unique gimmicks besides the electric fence! The items return to spice things up, and each captain now has their own unique super ability they can use at certain times. The megastrikes are taken to the next level, where a golf meter pops up and your captain can fly into the air dramatically with a super cool animation and score more goals depending on your timing. The same art style of the original game returns and of course it looks even better here. There are some rockin tunes throughout the game especially the character themes. You could play online while it was still alive, and it’s one of the few Mario sports games that had an online mode worth playing. This might be one of the greatest Mario sports games of all time, and the series deserved so much better on the switch.… Expand

I mean, even just comparing it to its previous title, Super Mario Strikers.

    The pure style and energy in this game hasn't been replicated. There's something eerily hilarious, but intensely grabbing about Mario characters being ANGRY and PISSED. This game is hilariously proud of how it emphasizes its violence, which is just salt in the Strikers stew. The personality of all of the characters is more charming than they've been in any game (reminder: ANGRY). In other Mario sports games, the characters are amicable and have good sportsmanship. In this game, Waluigi is finally allowed to punt his teammates. Wario can try to commit suicide after the other team scores. PETEY PIRAHNA can fulfill his DREAM of becoming a LIMBO MASTER.

    Anyway. Moving away from style, the gameplay is pretty fun, albeit similar to the first game. It is surprisingly strategic, and it's fun to try and come up with strategies and the like. The difficulty can be surprisingly punishing, if you aren't good enough to handle the harder CPUs.

    Unfortunately, I was never able to play this online, but from what I've heard it worked quite well. I won't change my score because of it, but just something to mention.

    Either way, this game is a decent sport's game, with one hell of a style, like an decent cake with master-class frosting.    … Expand

    This game is a lot of fun to play with other people. However, my experience when playing the campaign is mixed. It is fun to play a close game, where you feel evenly matched. But when you are playing against AI that is just happy-go lucky the entire match is not fun. But when you finally git gud, scrub, it can be a fun game to pick up and play.

    As good as the first one in the series, its gamecube predecessor, keeps the same style while adding up to the mechanics.

    I've never been very good at soccer games like FIFA, so I really enjoy this take on the genre. 3 on 3 soccer means that the action is tight and frequent, and that you don't have to spend as much time crafting an opening and instead the action goes back and forth very frequently. I also love the powerups, as well as just how the game handles and feels.

    This game is different. This game takes soccer into a whole other level, and the character themes describe the characters, and some useless characters (aka. Toad) can be useful. Heck, imagine if futuristic soccer would be like this.

    A great improvement from its predecessor! Mario Strikers Charged keeps what made the first game fun but adds more to make the game even better! Characters move fluently and the addition of course hazards makes the game more fun and challenging!

The best part of the game was the online, I would have to say Mario strikers charged had the best online connection out of all the other wii games. I hope Nintendo can see this review because what im really asking for is can you guys make Mario Strikers Wii U, similar to strikers charged style with more characters, the sidekicks can possibly be captains or have more stuff like the captains, better graphics, online of course, more stages, and also keep the old stages and songs for the characters from part on 1 and 2.

    If I had to choose only one game to have for the Wii, it would be Mario Strikers Charged. You will play it for years. In Multiplayer style, of course.

    As the most original, admittedly surreal, take on the sport for years, Mario Strikers is a gem of a game and manages to flawlessly meet Nintendo's brief of appealing to absolutely everybody.

    While we can see some people getting frustrated with the tricky AI later in the game, the emphasis on multiplayer and online action makes this an essential Wii title. [June 2007, p.72]

    The eventful, minute-long matches and frantic to-and-fro make Mario Strikers a suitable curtain-raiser for online gaming on the Wii, but a balanced and deep extreme sports game this is not. [June 2007, p.87]
