I was expecting some more.
You start the game with modes such as wi-fi (which I can't do yet.) training, competitions (where you go against computers for trophies), missions, and options. On the competitions you pick your team captain such as mario, peach, DK, yoshi...ect. Then you pick three sidekicks which have their own charged special shot, and your captain has a special charged move that can shoot up to 6 shots at a time. When competing for the cups you go through rounds of computer matches and compete to see who mcan get the most wins, and if you do you go against the cup defending champion. If you win you may unlock a new character.
The missions mode is my favorite of the modes, while you complete certain objectives with certain characters. Not to mention the multiplayer mode is a blast as well. While your playing soccor matches with anyone you can pass, shoot, charge shots, do acrbatic shots or passes, hit opponets by shaking the wii remote. Another cool control scheme is blocking shots from the goalie by pointing the wii remote at the screen and moving the cursor to a soccor ball and destroying it by pressing A.
So why Mario Strikers Charged gives an awesome short time experience, I wouldn't buy this game I would just rent it once or twice. But I would definitly recommend it to a fan of the original, or for someone looking for an enjoyable multiplayer experience and wi-fi players.
