    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!

    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.

    You don't need to be a soccer fan to enjoy this game... because it bends the rules to offer fast-paced action with surprisingly deep gameplay that bears little resemblance to the sport.

If you expect a soccer game you will actually be disappointed. But it's very fun, addictive, and pretty challenging as well. The main drawback is the main single player game is not very varied, you get to play 3 cups of increasing difficulties (the last boss is a tough one!), and you have a set of challenges on the side, but that's about it. I didn't get to play multiplayer but I can imagine how crazy it might get...… Expand

I also like the act that the goalie finally has his own animation parts of the game by preventing megastrikes hitting the players and a smarter AI. 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. I would Highly recommend people to buy this game its worth it.… Expand

    Es una buena alternativa a los típicos juegos de fútbol. Bien pensado y bien ejecutado pero le falta bastante contenido. El gameplay es muy divertido y frenético. Le pongo un 81/100

    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 deserves a 10. The "edgy" atmosphere is perfect for a football game. The fact that every captain and sidekick have their personal OST shows with how cure and love the game was made.

    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.

    Amazing sequel to the first game, Charged has lots packed into it. Improved graphics, great gameplay, and I especially like picking individual sidekicks. Can't wait until I get it online.

    An awesomley fun game. The only reason i take off ppoints is because once you finish playing it for 1-3 hours siingle you NEED to play multiplayer. The only reason you should keep this game is if you have more than one controller and a buddy to play it with. But other than that it is awesome.

    Charged greatly improves upon the gameplay in the first Strikers, and introduces concepts such as character statistics, sidekick abilities, and, most notably, online co-op play.

    It really is not a football game, it is a wild and fast paced ball game. Playing solo isn't that interesting and the high score I gave is for multiplayer. The first hour or so may not be that great, but you will be hooked!

    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]
  3. Edge Magazine

    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]
