So far, it sounds like a football game, huh? Until now… There is a plethora of ways to slow down opponents that would very much not be accepted in the real-life game, haha! For starters, tackles are fearsome and not subject to any sort of refereeing – so get accustomed to, say, Birdo utterly smashing Peach off the ball. Limited motion control integration was a wise move, too – as aforementioned, you shake to tackle, and there is also brief motion for reacting to Mega Strikes (more on them later), and that is enough it is quick and fun to perform, but does not overstep its bounds. In addition, techniques such as the chip are valuable for grabbing goals as you attempt to either get to the goal limit first, or be leading when the time runs out (if equal at that time, you go to Sudden Death). As you play, you quickly realise that learning how to pass the ball frequently and accurately is key, as this builds up power in said ball that is signalled by the colour it emits – it starts at a dull purple and works its way to a bright white at max power, making it more likely to beat the goalkeeper Kritter (the one member of your team you can not change). Controlled with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the basics are straightforward you shake the Wii Remote to tackle, press A to pass or change character, B to shoot, and C to use a power-up from there, though, a plethora of increasingly complex tactics open up. Oh, and the chaos? As evident from the intro cutscene, it very much remains: yep, that was Dry Bones getting sucked off the pitch into a raging storm… There is a reason they are all wearing more protective outfits now!Įasy to play, hard to master Mario Strikers Charged Football has that inherent Nintendo quality in spades, with a base level of satisfying carnage that accelerates towards skill-dependent late-game matches. Whilst sports spin-offs such as Mario Kart involve taking out your opposition and claiming victory through improvisational means, it has never been quite this, to put it bluntly, violent… For the Wii follow-up Mario Strikers Charged Football, Next Level Games have found improvements in several areas for a rewardingly tough single-player experience, hilariously enjoyable local multiplayer, and richly competitive online mode. The first Mario football game – Mario Smash Football on the GameCube – was distinctive in how, well, un- Mario it was.
