An Improvement To Its Predecessor

User Rating: 8 | Mario Strikers Charged Football WII
Super Mario Strikers was an unexpected new sports addition to the Gamecube when it was released. And for what it was, it was pretty good.

Fast forward about a year and a half later, Mario Strikers Charged is released in North America. Fans were ecstatic over the improvements, especially with Wi-Fi now.

There were even added characters, such as captains Bowser, Petey Pirahna, Bowser Jr., Diddy Kong, and sidekick characters like Shy Guy, Dry Bones, Boo, and Monty Mole. And in addition to Super Mario Strikers' stadiums, they added ten new stadiums.

There were some problems, however, like the online. It is so incredibly laggy more often than not with random people, and it is annoying to do the Friend Code thing because it takes a while, because you need the Wii Code and the game's online code, rather than just needing the online code.

The difficulty can also be a bit much sometimes. For even just the second tournament, the Crystal Cup, it can be frustratingly difficult.

The game also gets repetitive and "deja vu" after a while. It can sometimes feel a bit like a chore at times.

All in all though, Mario Strikers Charged is a good game.
