I never thought I could be intoxicated by a football game until I played this one....Mario Strikers was simply a different kettle of fish compared to most football games.



Its very simple game play using the Wiimote was what really interested me. A shake of the remote (when you dont have the ball) makes the controlled character do a full body tackle at the opponent...Serious fun when playing against friends. With that and items, a match can simply turn into a fight at a moments notice



It is simply one of the best football games I have ever played Online works very well, as me and Conn can attest Though I'm unbeaten Vs him :p

Its all very good fun, the difficulty goes up a tad steep in the one player main game, u have to play matches to win trophies to carry onto the next cp and so forth...But the AI steps up considerably even too the second cup! The Challenges are also very good. Ive managed to do 9 of the 12, with only Diddy Kong's, Yoshi's and Bowser Jnr's to do....

Looks like an interesting game. If I could be bothered to play my Wii much I would probably get it.

As for your comment about "one of the best [American, for clarification purposes] football games [you've] ever played", it's not really football now, is it. Unless they've introduced a rule where yo fly up into the air and fire 6 balls at the goal at once... That's what makes it fun, madcap chaos.

Its not really american football.... They dont carry the ball (well most people dont ) Its more free for all football....very few rules...

I like the fact that the opponent (or yourself) get items if u get tackled without the ball, nice addition i thought as there had to be a punishment for fouling

Actually, yeah, i was being stupid when I wrote that, it is a lot more like English football. WTF am I on...

I guess I got confused by all the people smacking into each other! xP

Yeah, and that is a good punishment system.... You tackle me? I crush you with giantness!

or fart in your face untill u become insane? or how about.... scream at u or............ take a picture or set your chain chomp upon them or u can jsut scorea goal and RUB IT IN THEiR FACES!!!

LOL, nice, sounds like most Mario-X games in the crazy madness powerups kinda way.

yeahs it called FUN!! XD online is ok tho im crap and most people spend like 24 hours a day on it XD (sad sad people) and are obv good and u cant beat tehm but when u get a "newbie" on there I WHOOP THier ASS!!! XD

Still need to play you online...Id show u some butt scoring skills with Wario

Ash, tehyll always be people to pwn you, and always be people to pwn. Though I would like to be the one who [pwns everyone, and certainly not the one who always gets pwned (there has to be one!).

The only reason you found it fun when I played you on it is because you refused to tell me the <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING> controls

LOL, that always happens, happily "forget" to say which button tackles. I just keep hitting the buttons, usually works.

I just mashed the shit out of his controller.

Best plan there. You either find the buttons on your own or they start to fear the health of their controller and tell you!

Didnt really work either way but I randomly scored goals every now and then.

True, but it does work with some games. I generally go for the directions + random mashing.

This game is seriously starting to get in my tits..... The difficulty level goes from easy to insanely hard in like 4 matches....The career mode is almost impossible....:/

Hmm, that sounds painful...

Anyway, I'm guessing that means it's got quite a steep learning curve, then? Try playing easier matches until you get the hang of it enough to beat the next ones, what I would do, anyway.
