 GGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 8, 2005

There is just so much Mario these days for Nintendo's vast amount of video games, it can almost make your head spin. For the past several months, he has appeared in several great games for Nintendo's Gamecube system. First, he and his friends and enemies wowed us with the thrill of baseball in Mario Superstar Baseball. Next, he tried it again to the beat of Dance Dance Revolution with his own wave of the arcade clasic. Last month, he also scored big with the return of the board game classic in Mario party 7. Now, the turn of the single chant of Soccer strikes, and it happens to be a goal.
Super Mario Strikers for Nintendo's Gamecube is a rock'em, sock'em sports game, where Mario and friends tackle on the world of soccer. The game is themed with soccer through Nintendo's uniqueness without any loss. In the game, you can choose your captain from Mario or Luigi, to characters like Donkey Kong and Yoshi. The game also features methods of tricking your opponents from scoring a goal with weapons like the koopa shells, electric fences, and banana peels, similar to Mario Power Tennis. The control is a bit complex at first, but it is very easy to pick up with a little practice, and the graphics are really superb for anybody who loves to score a goal. The game also includes some terrific mini-games to help you score and control your characters.
All in all, Super Mario Strikers is a well-recognized soccer game for anybody who owns the Nintendo Gamecube. This is a great purchase for any die hard sports fanatic, or for all of us who have been longtime fans of Mario and company. Considering there haven't really been at all many soccer games for the Nintendo Gamecube, this one scores big.

Better than Baseball,but not as good as Golf December 8, 2005

Dont Get me wrong, this game is good. Way better than the baseball game. BUT it is not amazing, i like it but it is just lacking sometthing. For one, it is too hard. Two, You cant control the goalie so all the effort is is in stopping them from shooting ala the old nintendo hockey games. So dont expect any shut outs. You cant really control the shots and any fancy shots are very limited. One the flip side it is fun, the graphics are great. The nintendo humor is there as the celebrations are great to watch. The game speed is good. Most soccers games are so slow not this one. IT moves really fast and that i like. So it is good. But it may get old. Bottem line is this, if you like the mario sports games, then you will like this. Worth a buy.
 The best game I have played in years. July 24, 2006

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.
Well worth it January 9, 2007

We purchased this game for our Mario obsessed 6 year old, and it has quickly become one of his favorites. It is also played frequently by my Husband. With multiple difficulty levels it is easily adapted to all ability levels, and has all of the familiar Mario friends.
This is the best Mario Sports game out there! July 23, 2007

I never even heard that this game was coming out when it first released, but then my friend came over and he had bought it on a whim, and we fell in love.
This is the best Mario Sports game out there and differs from the other sports titles in the Mario series. It is rather refreshing to see a Mario game where the characters are not playing soccer to, say, free the twelve star maidens to chase Bowser away from the land, so they can party all night. This game is lacking any type of story, other then to win a tournament. It is full of out right hatred for the other players, and is quickly evident. The characters begin each match with a taunt, and then continue to bash each other around into electrical fences. (I really enjoy the sound of Daisy screaming as she hits an electrical Fence) It is the most fun I have ever had playing a soccer game.
The basic play is you and a team of 5 others (Sidekicks) is on the field competing against another team of 5. It will take tackles, shells, and the Captain?s (main character) super striker move to beat this match.
Over all this was a great game. Its graphics were not the best in the world, but they suited very well for this game. The one player mode was pretty fun, but where this game is best played in is multi-player mode. The controls are quick and easy to master, which is good for any player, new or veteran.
I give Super Mario Strikers an 8 out 10.
