I wasn't planning on buying MSC for the Wii but upon reading the hype about this game, I decided to trade in Mario Galaxy & Paper Mario plus a few other GameCube titles for this game. So far I have not been disappointed at all with this game except you have to use FC's to play against people you know. You can still play guest players online but that's pretty much it. The graphics are pretty good for a Wii game. There are no slowdowns at all except when you do Matrix like moves. This is doable since there aren't that many players running around (5 on 5 soccer including the GK). As long as the graphics are good for a Wii game, I'm happy. From what I have seen, you can play an exhibition game up to a best of 9 series (too lazy to check) against the CPU or a friend. Then you have the main part of the game which is the Road to the Strikers Cup. Then you have the online aspect. I haven't really played that part yet but based on my expriences with this game, I am itching to get online! There aren't really that much stats but this is supposed to be an acrade like game and it delivers in that arena. The controls are well done. You use the analog stick on the nunchunk to move the players. A is to select the nearest player to the ball, B is to shoot the ball, C is to use the power up items. The D-pad is to deke on offense and steal/slide on defense. The Z button is used here but I haven't used it since it deals with lob passes or shots. On defense you can shake the Wii to perform a big hit on the opposing player. You don't control the goalie on nomral shots...more on the goalie part later. If you hold down the B button long enough if you are the Nintendo character such as Mario, you get the chance to perform a Mega Strike where you jump up to the sky and kick between 3 to 6 balls towards the goal depending on the timing of hitting the B buttons to determine how many shots and how powerful the shots will be. The neat thing is that as the goalie if Bowser pulled that off against me, I can defend the shots using the Wii-mote pointer. Timing is important and if Bowser hit the ball the hardest, it would be difficult to block all shots but it can be done. The Mega Strike is a big factor in why this game is awesome. If you are down by a few goals, you can go ahead and attempt a Mega Strike to at least reduce the defiect, tie up the game, or win the game. That is why even if you are down by a few goals with like 30 seconds left in regulation, you still can win this game! Just imagine yourself making those huge clutch goals in crunch time. The last time I had a soccer game like this, I had SEGA Soccer Slam or something like that. It was a real fun game back for the PS2 and GameCube. Those type of soccer games will always be my favorite ones to play because of the pick up and play nature which is in this game as well. I was skeptical of this game even when I picked it up...I need to have Zidane do a head butt into my chest for ever doubting this game! If I am able to post more information about the online aspect, I will be sure to do it. In closing, this game is just fast, tight, and fun! I have a little warning for you guys...this game can be difficult even in the normal setting but in cases like this, it is a welcome addition because if it was too easy, I would have beaten the game in one night for certain. Kudos to Nintendo for making this game challenging yet fun. If I could give this game a 6, I would even consider it but 5/5 is still pretty good.
Exciting!!!!

This game is so awesome!! The introduction/entrance video lives up to the game behind it. The game is challenging and addicting, especially in multiplayer. This game lives up to the greats such as Galaxy, the upcoming Brawl, and Zelda:TP. Own a Wii? Great, buy this awesome game!!!

This game is the BOMB!! I've played this game and it's a blast! THe small fields keep the action close. Controls can get some used to, but other than that this game is freaking AWESOME! My favorite sidekick is obviously the Hammer Bros. Because they kick some ass! and my favorite captain is Luigi. Multiplayer is where the game shines, because kicking someone else's ass is pretty damn fun!
HOLY CRAP!

I bought mario stikers charged when it came out. At first I did not like it because of its controls and I sucked at wifi. Once you get into it and play the game it starts to get fun. Now lets talk about the single player: Road to the Striker Cup. This is where you have to practice. Its really easy at first, but don't think it's going to be like that forever. Once you start getting into the second tornament it starts to become a challenge. But other than getting used to the control and the A.I. the cup is pretty easy. After you master the single player go to the multiplayer. It's very frustrating, and you want to break your wiimote. After a wgile you get better and start to win. The multiplayer is the fun of the game, and it will get boring if you just play the A.I. So give the game a chance and it will be fun. Graphics-3.00, control-4.50, multiplayer-5.00, sound-4.50, overall-4.75. Its a good game so try it out.

The game is awsome w/ a capital A, but as you continue through the game, the difficulty amps up pretty quickly. An example of this is the road to the striker cup. the first cup is pretty easy, then you get to the second and third cup and the difficulty goes from super easy to freakin hard. Also, I like to congratulate the multiplayer. Wifi play was a great addition. a 4.5 out 5
Mario is back and better than ever!

This game is awesome. I know I say that a lot but this time I REALLY mean it. With 12 captains this game is sure to be a hit when ya got pals over or by yourself. Its even better with more people because it gets really intense. i like it. The rumble will rock you and blow you away. The controls are excellent and boy can it be intense even by yourself! I like Yoshi the best and this gamewill certainly make you consider getting a Wii if you dont have one.
Cool
