Super Mario Strikers

"The best mario sports game, no, the best soccer game."

Ah-hh, the Mario sports games. Some can never get old. Some can. This fantastic game on the other hand is by far the best Mario sports game, heck, it's even the best soccer game you will find on the market!

Graphics
9/10

These graphics are really nice. Identical to Mario Superstar Baseball if that gets you an idea. Its crisp, and it even moves at a good speed. The opening cinema, is also really nice.

Controls
10/10

Nothing at all wrong with the controls here. They are superb. They won't get to confusing, and the layout of the buttons work perfect for the game.

Sound
8/10

The worst part of the game, the sound can get really repetitive. On the many screen, or most screens while you are playing, they will loop. Some characters though, do have some talking bits. Peach and Daisy do a little talking before every game. That's about it though.

Story
5/10

Well there isn't really a story so I can't give this a high score. Basically you just play numerous soccer games until you win a cup.

Game play
10/10

The game play is awesome. You play soccer games until you win a cup, such as the Mushroom cup, or the Star cup. There are 9 characters to choose from, with one character being a secret. Once you choose the character you want, you will be given a choice of choosing side characters. There are 4 of these ones so pick wisely. Once you have done that, it's on to the playing field. The object of the game is to get the most points. To do that you have to score into the net. The goalies are very good. They know what they are doing. In this game there isn't any rules. You can tackle the person who has the ball, or anyone you feel like! There are also super shots. If you do a correct super shot, you can gain more points, instead of just one.

Re-playability
10/10

Although this game doesn't have many extras, it won't get old. You will want to play this over and over again.

Final score
10/10

Go out and buy this game. You will enjoy it. I can bet on that.
