This game is one of my favorites of all time! I seriously want my whole life to be like this game. It's a fun and thrilling game about soccer. My favorite sport recreated in my favorite way! This is my review for Mario Strikers Charged.

The graphics in this game are really good. I think the design for character and sidekick outfits are great, but what I really like is the art for each captains special shot. I can see burn marks on the ground after an explosion and things all around that look really good.

Sounds in this game are also good. There are sounds for the ball bouncing on metal ground, background music for special captain shots, sounds for evading (Wii remote D-pad), and tons of other sounds like people getting electrocuted. The music though, I think that it's mainly rock music, it plays for the opening scene and sudden death. I haven't noticed any other kinds of music besides character select and the title screen.

This game is really addicting. I've played this game for three hours once. It's just so thrilling especially in striker cup. There's always so much going on. I don't know what Nintendo did but whatever they did you will never put down the controller.

This game doesn't really have a story. You're just climbing up the ranks to be the ultimate soccer player. Doesn't really sound too thrilling but trust me it is awesome!

This game doesn't have that much to do. It has missions which you will get a cheat for if you complete it (there is one for every character). It has a mode where you can play with the AI or someone else and you can use the cheats in your game (some of them are really annoying). Then of course it has a story mode where you become the ultimate soccer player. Then it has a mode where you can play with people around the world with WIFI. Unfortunately my house has a WIFI error so I was never able to play with anyone.

This game is hard. It's easy in the fire cup as long as you set the difficulty to normal (I have never been able to win on expert). The crystal cup can be kind of annoying if you aren't used to the game. However, the striker cup is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through (next to Kaizo Mario World). I only made it to the championship once and I lost horribly. I can't even imagine what it's like on expert. Then in free play mode, you can set the AI to five different difficulty settings. Superstar is the hardest one. I have never scored a single goal when the AI is set to that mode. So usually I let the AI get all the gaols and then at the last few seconds I would switch teams. Then there's the missions. Some of these missions really get on my nerve, such as the last one lucky seven. In this mission you need to win the game and get at least seven goals. I've won before, but I lost because I didn't get seven goals. I could not do it until I watched a video on it. I find this game very difficult.

This is my favorite game. If you've played it I'm sure you could say the same thing. By the way, I'm not joking when I say that I want my life to be like this.

Very nice. This review is cleanly written, and it doesn't bog down too much in any given area (though difficulty did get a little bogged down, but not too badly).

All I could say is try to be more of a player writing a review than a person offering an overview of each category. Basically just find ways to make the review your own, kind of like you did in the difficulty section by adding your personal thoughts and feelings about it, rather than just stating the facts.

Still, this was a very nice review for a newer reviewer, and was very clean. Good work.



And on a side note: A Mario soccer game?!? I need this in my life! xD
