Mario Strikers Charged

Holyfuckingshit, if you own a wii you MUST get this game. I bought it yesterday and we (me and the missus) played for hours last night. Now, I don't usually put hours into a console game. PC games, sure I'll sit there all night with a mouse and keyboard if I want to, but console games usually piss me off. Maybe it's the fact that it's played on a TV so it's not as clear, or maybe I just don't like using joypads, sticks or crazy peripherals. The wiimote, of course, is fantastic, but the motion sensing awesomeness isn't used in Mario Strikers Charged. If someone MEGASTRIKES you in the face, you'll need to aim the bastard at the screen to prevent goalage, but that's as far as it goes.



Mario Strikers Charged is worth the play time. It's one of the most fun things I've done with Sarah without taking my clothes off, and I can already see that the game is going to be worth Tesco's stupid £35 price tag. It's hectic. Frantic, even. Shouts of "Where in shit did you come from?" or "What the FUCK was that?!" are always a good thing as far as games are concerned, and I've not used those expressions in such a way since UT2K4 or Battlefield 2142. But it's the pick-up-and-play feel of the thing that really got me hooked. It's a game that I could play for a whole day without getting bored of, but if I just wanted a 10 minute drash I could easily do that too. I'm not sure why the twunts at gamerankins gave it less than 9/10. Maybe they were smoking crack. Or arse. Or arsecrack.

If you have a wii, please get this game. I want to play with you over the internets.
