So, I picked up Mario Strikers Charged today, and I'm more than impressed. Just about every other Mario sport game I've played has seemed completely childish. This one however, is a pretty awesome game. It may even be one of the top games for the Wii.
The controls are very easy to get the hang of. You shake the Wii remote to hit, which is pretty awesome. It feels so natural. The button controls are also simple.
The graphics could be better, and a couple of the field details look discusting. But, some of the graphics look good, such as the crowd. The crowd seems to all go together, forming thousands of Mario themed spectators. Nothing amazing, but it just stands out amongst the fields.
The difficulty of the game can be very easy, or really hard. I find the difference in two difficulty levels to be huge. Level two could be too easy for you, so you decide to switch to level three. Then you find level three to be very difficult. How could you go from a very easy difficulty, to not being able to make any shots? It's outrageous.
I have yet to play online, since I'm in a condo without Wi-Fi. But I will when I get back.
Now that you've heard a little mini review, who has the game? We should play online. :3
