Super Mario Strikers

the fact when you increase the level the only way 2 keep the ball from getting stolen is 2 knock the opponent constantly on his/her butt before they get 2 you makes it get boring on the legend level & eventually all the other levels are way too easy...the characters are fun, super kicks 4 the main characters are nice but get corny at times, & the goal-keeper seems 2 make amazing saves but then allow the easiest goals...its not pure soccer & you know that going in but it should still be a bit more realistic

This is the best video game I have ever played, I love soccer so this worked 4 me. You never get board & the 2 player game is awesome.
Some many games don't cater 4 2 play, concentrating on 1 player. but not this game. if you want a soccer game 2 play with your buddy or a family member this is the game 4 you.

Brilliant!

I bought this game 4 my kids & they just love it. What a game!!! It was fast & exciting all in one. Beats any real simulated game. Cartoon characters & throwing turtles shells at the opponent is extremely fun.

I'll admit, my first reaction 2 Super Mario Strikers was skepticism. Another Nintendo ploy 2 make money by slapping Mario's name on some sport. But, once again, Nintendo makes me eat my words. To put it simply, this game is pure hectic, frenetic fun. Essentially the basics of soccer are present, but this game is more about slamming your opponents into electrified walls & throwing bob-ombs or shells at them when they're out of your reach. Then slamming them into the electrified wall. I know, it sounds too violent 4 Nintendo's Gamecube, but it's true. And it's every bit as fun as it sounds. Don't worry too much though, moms, because unlike real soccer, no one ever gets hurt. And the craters on the field disappear eventually. (Once again, not kidding.) Having played soccer myself, however, I was afraid that these unorthodox tactics might take away from the experience. They don't. What they do, however, is succeed in making Super Mario Strikers one of the most fun Mario sport experiences available. And if you have friends you're in luck, because this game only gets better when it's a real live person you're slamming into an electrified wall. Seriously though, this is a great party game & is surprisingly deep. Combining items with your various moves make the more strategic player really able 2 dominate those who simply hit the "slam opponent into wall" button over & over. The only drawback of this game is that the frame rate occasionally slows, especially when you use the unlockable team.

Bottom Line:
Great, fast-paced, enjoyable game; you'll especially enjoy the multiplayer experience. If you own a Nintendo Gamecube & have enjoyed, or think you would enjoy, a Mario-themed sport, then you need 2 get this game.

Quick mailing, package fine, My Grand boys could not find this came in the stores. They love it.

Super Mario Strikers is a new soccer game that's unlike anything ever 2 hit the pitch!You'll combine classic Mario gameplay with real soccer fun -- whether you freeze an opponent with an ice-cold shell, kicking over a spiny shell or scaring off an entire team with the roving Chain Chomp, you're sure 2 see something new around every corner kick.
