This is a nifty little game, with great online play and local multiplayer. The controls have a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you've mastered them this game is really fun. The graphics, as with any Nintendo spin-off game, are rather pretty, but nothing special. There isn't a lot of replay value in the game itself but the online is great. Four stars!

Finally, after being disappointed by the lack of durable games released on the Wii lately, cough cooking mama cough, Nintendo has done it! Mario Strikers Charged Football is awesome and has a highly addictive online mode where you can randomly play against other people around NZ and Australia or even Europe if you have a friend with the game from over that way.

I was apprehensive at trying this game out at first, as I'm not really a football fan but this game is just plain fun! It's not the easiest game to learn to play but half the fun is learning the controls. Once you have them down, the moves you can make are CRAZY! The game has some Mario Kart inherited items that can make the game very difficult for your opponent too.

The multiplayer function is addictively fun. We had four of us playing it in various combinations of 2 players a side and even four players against the computer. Plus, the two player mode can be extended to online play also.

There is a huge amount of stadiums in the game, unlockable characters, and the megashots are awesome fun too!

This game is highly recommended!

This is a great Mario Sports title and the first of its kind on wii. The multiplayer is great and im sure its better online but i havent tried it yet the graphics are average but hold up well and controlls couldnt be better the overall atmosphere s brought together well on the wii with the great ingame music the action replays and the cheering audience it really feels great.

if you want a decent multiplayer game on the wii then this is it .
