Mario Strikers Charged is the seqel to Super mario Strikers For the Gamecube. The game is pretty much Mario Soccer(football in europe).It's the second game for the wii to utilize nintendos Wifi Connection.
Gameplay: The game feels pretty good with the controlls. You use the controll stick to move, The A button to pass and B to shoot.You can charge your shot to make it stronger by holding down B. The controll pad is used to preform dekes/slides. Shaking the wii remote makes your character pull off a body check which knocks the player down sending the ball loose.
You gain items in the game if you are hit when u are not in possestion of the ball. Items are unleashed by pressing the C button. Items can varry between different types of shells, to mushrooms to even chainchomps.
When charged long enough your character will do a megastrike which results in a bar appearing over the players head which when stopped at the right time can result to up to 6 balls shot at the goalie.The same can be done with your 3 sidekick players.Except that the bar does not appear.
Also the metal ball you use changes colors depending on how many times it has been passed purple being the weakest while white is the strongest. These effect the speed of the shot.
Design: The graphics are around average for a wii title. The artistic style when the megastrikes are being pulled off is also great.
Story: There really isnt much of a story to the game. You choose between 12 main characters Mario,luigi,DK,Peach,Daisy,Wario,Waluigi,yoshi,bowser and 3 unlockable characters diddy,Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha. You also choose 3 of 8 sidekicks Toad,Boo,Dry Bones, Monty Mole, Koopa, Birdo, Hammer Bro ShyGuy. Each sidekick has there own specific deke and skillshot.
So you play a tournament style mode to win the strikers cup. There are 3 different tournaments.
Multiplayer/Online: The online is great with very little lag. You can play rankd matches against a random person and friendly matches with friends you have registered. There is a Player of the week scoreboard with the player that has the most points for the week. it's reset every week.
It's a pretty good game and i give it an 8.4/10
