Mario Strikers Charged

"Mario Strikes Back!"

Okay, First of all, I love this game! I play it at least an hour a day. It's very fun! Anyway, back to the review.

Graphics 10/10

The graphics in this game are great! It definitely meets the standards of the Wii. The characters look like they are perfect. I mean Peach took more of the sassy girl this time around, but it's all good. What makes it even better is the Animations. For example, when a Captain does a Mega Strike. They have their own way of doing he Mega Strike. Like Wario Swallows it, Peach grows Angel Wings, and Waluigi Whips it. I love the way the Characters are designed in their picture. Like Waluigi sticks has his tongue out, Bowser JR. has the ball in his hand, as if he's about to throw it. Well, anyways, that's about all there is for graphics. I'd just like to say they are really great and look awesome!

Music 9/10

The Music in this game is great! It just fits the game so well. Like the starting video, when everyone starts running for the ball, the music just fits it so well. It's really fast paced, just like the motion. The ball is moving around to everyone, and the music is also fast. Also, everyone has their own music! All of the Captains, and all of the Side Kicks. They have their Winning music, Losing music, and Entry music. Winning music is where you score a goal, Losing music is where your opponent scores a goal on you, and Entry music is when you come into the battle. So yeah, th Music in this game is really good and it fits very well!

Gameplay 7/10

Regular Gameplay isn't as fun as Online Gameplay, but it's still pretty fun. Here is some stuff you can do while in a match. You can charge the ball with Boo's Deke and then pass to a Power player to shoot. You can perform a Mega Strike. To do this, the Captain must have the ball, and be somewhere where it's not easy for someone to attack you. (An Example would be to use a Chain Chomp or Banana, so the opponent will slip or get ran over." Anyways, what you have to do is press B (as if you were going to shoot) but hold it in. Then the Bar will come up, and you pick how many balls for them to block, and the speed. To do that, a scale appears and you tap A. The scale is 1-6. You can also use Dekes to get into the goal. Like Boo's Vanish, Daisy's Vanish, Waluigi's Vanish, and more. Some people actually invented their own moves. Like the Beligan Waffle, Serve it up, Serve it in and more. We also have items to use in battle! It makes the game much more fun! We have items like Banana's, Chain Chomps, Mushrooms and more. Well that's the end of regular Gameplay, on to Online Gameplay!

Online Gameplay 10/10

This is much better than Regular Gameplay. You do the same thing that I said in regular Gameplay, but online! Against other people that are good, bad, and complete noobs... Now online, sometimes there is lag, but you get to see how bad or good the connection is. There will be four stars, and they will be lit up. If they are all lit up, it's a good connection. If it's missing more than two stars, then I wouldn't accept the match, because chances are, it's going to be a bad connection. Anyways, I don't have much to say in this section. I already explained it in the regular Gameplay section of this Review. So, let's just skip to the last part!

Replay Value 10/10

This game NEVER gets boring to me. You can play it over and over and still want to play more. Online makes it so fun. You can think you're good, go online in a Ranked match, and get destroyed. Online also has a Leader Board. The Leader board shows who the striker of the Season/Day is. You get 10 points for winning a Ranked match and one point for every goal you make. You also get 1 point for every loss. You lose 5 points for Disconnecting. (D/C) The person with the most points gets to be Striker Of The Day!! Well, my review is almost over...

Overall 10/10

Right now, I think this is the best Wii game out. I think you should buy it if you have Wi-Fi. If not, get Wi-Fi and buy it!! I love this game and the Wi-Fi. Well this is the end of my review... I hope you enjoyed it! Good Bye!
