Mario Strikers (The First one)

Mario Strikers is a good example of a game with a simple concept applied perfectly. The mechanics in mario's try at soccer are so good that I found myself becoming more and more creative as I played. Usually when you have systems which give you multiple decisions its overly complicated and slow long term decisions. But in mario strikers the decisions are simple and quick. Should you pass in the air or the ground? Should you juke or walk a little back. Should slide kick or tackle? These decisions are constant and quick pace and make the game have a unique charm. Part two dismantles this system and is why part 2 sucks. Should you buy this game? Absolutely. The mechanics and fun in this game are so great that there is no excuse to miss out. Pay 10 dollars and enjoy.
