Super Mario Stikers

Photobucket


When I was younger and all these Mario games were coming out I thought it would be really cool if Nintendo made a Mario soccer game. Finally for the GameCube they did. Although some Mario sports games are a bit cheesy and slow paced, you would be wrong if you came to Mario Strikers with that in mind. You would also probably be caught by surprised. Mario Strikers is an action packed fast paced game which allows for hours of replay as you try to get further and further in the tournaments. Like other Mario sports games you get basic starter characters and you’re able to unlock more characters to play as your team captain.
Mario strikers isn’t like other Mario games in one way, instead of having a team of Mario stars you pick a star and a team of Koopas or Hammer Bros. But this game does have its setbacks. You’re able to tackle an enemy and take away the ball and get a reasonable distance down the field while they are being electrocuted on the fence. But hey it wouldn’t be a Mario sports game without Nintendo shenanigans.

I would give this game and average 7 out of ten.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

Photobucket

Wario Ware inc. is a party game for the Nintendo GameCube. It’s a series of mini games which require you to not only be fast, but be precise in what you’re doing and be able to follow directions. This fast pace game can be fun with friends trying to see who can get further in the game or just on your own for plain old fun. The whole idea of the game is you must complete the levels within the time limit, the further into the game you get the harder the mini games get and faster paced they become. The game tries to sike you out by increasing the speed of the music between mini games making you feel uneasy. This makes you react faster than you can without thinking and mess up. Which just makes you come back to play more and more. Though the game gets boring after some play, it’s still a worthy pick up for gaming with friends.


I would give this game a Mediocre 4 out of 10 due to poor replay value.
