Vinny Ginn

A failure of a game, which has lost all credibility since it was confirmed certain teams cheat online, and Nintendo stands by and allows it. Not a game for younger players, with an unfortunately toxic player base, shamefully encouraged by Nintendo. One star is too much. Save your money for more genuine, better and honest games. Stick to the original Mario Strikers or Mario Strikers Charged.

The game feels retro in its style, with an epic soundtrack and two well scripted story modes. Gameplay can vary from enjoyable to frustrating. There's a learning curve to this to a degree, with the emphasis on stats and building strong custom characters, which can be op when it comes to online play. In the two years since its release, it's gone through various updates, but unfortunately still feels buggy despite this. The game is anime football, with fighting elements thrown in. For fans of the anime and manga, this will feel nostalgic, and recreates this well enough. The game is worth getting for the story modes, online isn't really best recommended until friend cards are levelled up in order to build better custom characters and unlock skills, moves, shots etc.

Not as good as Mario golf Toadstool tour, but pleasant enough for offline play, or against friends. Not worth it for online play against others though, too many Mario games encourage below the belt tactics. A game like this should try to be a little different from that kind of gameplay.
