It's a very fun game but can get frustrating.
The normal modes are Road to the Strikers Cup you play 6 matches at most and get a difficulty setting of Normal or Extreme. Normal is it starts off easy but gets harder and Extreme means it's harder from the beginning and is very difficult all the way through only play that mode if your a Pro. There are other modes which help you learn the basics and online mode is probably where this game really delivers.
Online mode is good it has a leaderboard and Striker of the Day. You will play other members but one thing online suffers from is you can't play against other players from like the US or Japan which is a big letdown.
You have to pick captains and sidekicks which are all from the Mario universe so you will have Mario,Luigi,Peach,Bowser,Wario Yoshi and others. Sidekicks are chosen by you and they all have different abilities. Hammer Bros,Dry Bones,Birdo,Toad,Monty Mole and they all have statistics from passing shooting and speed and movement. They all have different abilites which help them score. Power ups are difficult to use tatically in this but most of them are used from like Mario Kart but they can also hit you.
Your captains can do megastrikes which at most could get you six goals. Your Wii mote comes into play here you have to stop them before they explode or the team scores a goal so don't sit back on goal leads in this game.
The sound and graphics are like from Mario games nice the graphics don't look too bad but very colourful.
Overall this game is good to play but can sometimes get frustaing with some of the games sometimes. It can be difficult to score online and be frustrating overally now and again. It lacks from worldwide play but it should last a while.
