Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii

Anybody played this? Comments? Recommend it?

I've played it twice since I bought it months ago. It's the same as the GameCube game, but with crappy controls, useless gameplay additions that make things needlessly chaotic and hectic, and a poor online mode. I don't recommend it.

What's wrong with the online mode?

I played it one night and loved it! I thought the controls were cool, and I played with 2 friends and the multiplayer was great. I didn't go online with it, so I can't say anything about that. I haven't bought the game yet, but I think I will and I would recommend it.

I pretty much agree with everything Mecha Cow says except the online part 'casue I can't get online with my wii. I used to take it to my friends house so we could play it, but now we've unlocked multi player in wario ware we usually play that. (Its more fun too)

Its impossible to keep track of what you are doing and its really just random button pressing and waving the wiimote about with a twat in Mario strikers.

Typical Nintendo stuff. It takes forever to find a match and there's significant lag. Plus it's the kind of multiplayer that isn't really fun without shouting and throwing stuff at your friends.

Alright, thanks for the comments.

If I can find it cheap on Ebay, I might buy it. I probably won't spend $50 at retail for it, though. Besides, Mario Kart Wii will probably be the better online experience.

I rented it a while back. It's a really fun game, but I recommend getting it for around $30 or less if you can manage it. The shoot out feature where you play as the goalie and have to catch soccer balls using the Wiimote to point at them on the screen was actually a really nice addition that worked really well, I thought. Online play worked fine for me (well, no worse than any other Nintendo online game). My only complaint is that it can be maddeningly hard at times. The computer opponent's offer no mercy. It's a really fun game, though, and worth a rental at the very least.

Success -- $22 for a brand-new copy off Ebay. In about a week's time I'll be willing to throw it down with you guys online, if anybody's got a copy.

So, does anyone play this game? Friend codes, anyone?
