You'll find yourself constantly charging at nearby opponents to knock them down and get the ball or prevent a pass, without a yellow or red card in sight. While the game is ostensibly a four-on-four game of soccer (without the possibility of the ball going out of bounds), it more closely resembles a knock-down, drag-out brawler most of the time. If you played the original Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube or its 2007 sequel on the Wii, you know the basics here. And while the game has some balancing issues (especially in single-player mode), as a whole, it's a frenetic and fun take on the sport that could easily sustain a strong online multiplayer community. ![]() Much like its predecessors, Mario Strikers: Battle League fulfills this video game sports fantasy quite nicely, offering what is essentially the Super Mario Kart version of simplified soccer. In a virtual version, I want to see the sport enhanced with features that would be impossible on a real field of play. If I want a game that captures every detail of a real sport accurately and authentically, I'll just go outside and play that sport myself, or maybe watch some professionals do the same. Its wacky where other artillery games are grim, hilarious where others are serious and full of customization where so many of the artillery shooters are. When it comes to sports video games, I'm of the opinion that the wackier they are, the better. ![]()
