Super Mario StrikersComments I am not a fan of sports games, but Super Mario Strikers is a goal for me. The last sports game that I played was NBA Jam for the Sega Genesis, I just couldn't get into another sports game after that. <br /> <br />When I bought this game I was a little concerned that I would not like it, but when I started playing it, wow, what a fun game. <br /> <br />Knocking other players down, or into the electrified invisiable fence is just down right fun. I think the super kicks are awsome, and the items you get to use throughout the game makes the game that much more enjoyable. <br /> <br />I give this game 5 stars all around, the best sports game for the people who hate sports games. Perhaps it is the Mario World theme that made me like this game so much... Could be the fast and strategic action. I dunno. But I am hugely opposed to the game of soccer - I think it is a wretched sport. HOWEVER... I started off playing Super Mario Strikers at the electronics stores only to find out later that I can't get enough of this game! Who'd have thunk it? <br /> <br />Super Mario Strikers combines the classic Mario World characters with fast and fun features designed to bring out the coolest parts about soccer. And, of course, the tournament mode and the multiplayer games just push the great game concept over the brink. <br /> <br />My favorite part is the strategy within the game of soccer that is so overly pronounced in MSS, namely, getting out front, then cross-passing to your teammate coming up across the field but behind you. As you power up your kicking foot - pointing to the quarter of the goal you wish to attempt penetration - the game slows down to get the anticipation up. Then, your player boots the ball with a powerful affect - the slowing down action obviously makes the kick look like a rocket! - and the goalie (who is automated) dives for it. <br /> <br />So awesome... <br /> <br />I also love the take-out slides. I appreciate obliterating opponents, even when unnecessary. <br /> <br />Anyway, take it from a guy who can't stand soccer - Mario Super Strikers is a great game that can be fun for anybody. Unlike the other Mario sports titles, however, this is one game where the single player mode might be the more fun. But of course, you can't sit there and talk trash to yourself, can you...? I bought this game for our friends kids and I wound up playing it all day. What a game!!! It was fast and exciting all in one. Beats any real simulated game. Cartoon characters and throwing turtles shells at the opponent is extremely fun. I don't own a GameCube, but this game alone may make me buy a unit. I wonder if the baseball game is just as good. |
