football fun
Like sports games emblazoned with Mario, this new iteration on the soccer field has a mission to bring players together on the same couch as much as possible for wild parties and tournaments.and Mario Striker: Versus League Soccer This was easily achieved by providing a relatively classic game system for the series (passing, hitting, crosses, acceleration, dodging, and special moves), with two four-man teams, plus a goalkeeper, each with their own characteristics. Some characters are stronger and more durable (like Bowser or Donkey Kong), others are faster (like Waluigi), and others line up (like Harmony). The choice of a team can determine the style to be employed, between choosing to lock in and limit the agility of the opposition's action or bet on the team that can score the most goals, even if it means giving up on defense. The grip is straightforward and easy, and we had no trouble finding fun in matches that emphasized spectacle and action, purely in the spirit of local multiplayer. It's really super fun to play, there are a lot of turns, the races go fast and their sequences are done without hesitation: the immediate action provides an absolutely fantastic feel. It's almost hypnotic.
Especially since the game emphasizes items collected during matches, such as Mario Kart Inside the mystery box swaying on the ground, we find stars, mushrooms, bombs, and other banana peels hindering the opponent's progress. If the stars allow you to score goals with no difficulty in invincibility, it's that we like to use the green and red shells to clear the ground, and then super-strike in complete relaxation. Because that's the goal, and that's who the Mario striker is: instead of looking for clever passes and good positioning, when playing with others, there's nothing more effective than temporarily overwhelming opponents without the ball with tackles and objects to be able to. Go quietly to the goal. More than just football, this Mario striker looks like American football, with teammates often protecting the ball handler. What's more, the superstrike system accentuates this phenomenon even more. Because to trigger it once the special objects coveted by the team are restored and appear on the ground from time to time, it is necessary to fully load the strike to access the super strike, during which we remain completely vulnerable to the pitch at the mercy of the slightest tackle.It is in this sense that objects and teammates (controlled by humans, becauseartificial intelligence Useless) to play a protective role to allow time to activate a blow, before playing two timed mini-QTEs, it must be ensured that a blow has no chance of being blocked by the guardian.
Other than that, the title still manages to provide some in-depth elements that allow you to seek better performance, tips and tricks that will take you beyond scrum. We specifically thought of the manual pass system with the L button, which allows you to change the order, go deep into the game and find space in the intervals, giving you an extra bonus when you're fully involved in the game and trying to fail a line defense Flavor against players who insist on auto-aim passes. Objects are also primarily used for defensive purposes, but we quickly realized that their use was at least as effective on offense. In the end, we're still skeptical about the air game, even after a few hours, it still hasn't proven its offensive usefulness beyond center/lob, which offers the possibility of lob players with overly burdensome presses . Aerial covers really lack glam, as there really isn't any point in seeking out this type of action other than the joy of slamming a pretty acrobatic cover.
poor content
Mario Striker: Playing League Soccer doesn't have all the benefits, though.if his Gameplay, its ambience and its actions do the expected job, and balance issues raise questions for multiplayer games, especially online. We consider Harmony's attack to be nearly unstoppable (even from the mid-ring!), thus forcing all online players to overuse it. Or when an overshoot is missed and the A button is pressed to evacuate the ball until it always lands on the opposing attacker who can volley and score without difficulty because the system is so badly done that it doesn't Complex In this type of action, place your player where the goalkeeper returns the ball 3/4 of the time. So many little details tend to be frustrating and challenging online modes, requiring serious updates over time to be fun. Because aside from these issues and a very frustrating goalkeeper, being able to stop every shot in a game and then let it all pass, the online mode is noticeably lacking in content. Creating a club to play with friends is great, but only in 2v2 online (so we share four players from both teams). Also, the online mode only offers quick matches, which can count for a season through the up and down system. For example, there are no friendly matches or the possibility of facing a friendly club.
content soloAt the same time, the same problem: if we can play 4v4 this time, it boils down to a quick match and a cup mode, and you can see it over with six games of three. This mode ends in two hours with no coercion, especially since the AI is so weak that matches often turn into double-digit scores. We would have liked to offer more cuts, maybe with different objectives or a possible adventure mode like the last Mario Golf. Here, the cups are just used to accumulate points, which we'll spend later on character customization, where we can buy helmets, pads, elbow pads, and breastplates (just like in American football), which modify the character by balancing The statistics of them or, conversely, by strengthening their natural powers. Granted, this allows you to diversify your gameplay a bit, but the number of objects and possibilities is so limited that once you've bought equipment for all your characters, it's hard to see any interest in trying new things.

On a visual level, the game is beautiful, especially in the super cutscenes where the very successful cel shading style takes precedence over the usual 3D.Pleasant to the eye, to the next level change The OLED colors are great on the eyes, but the game has some slowdowns all over the place, which takes a toll on the very nice staging during cutscenes (goals, game start and finish). Fortunately, these slowdowns are less noticeable during the race. The opposite is a blow to a game that's already struggling with readability, and it's the team's fault that the colors aren't necessarily easily recognizable. Bowser's jersey, for example, quickly hides under his yellow arms and legs; against the yellow jersey team, the situation is complicated. Fortunately, the game offers a special visual mode that allows us to mark all the players on the team with colored dots above their heads so we can identify their presence and location at any time, but that doesn't solve all problems. readability. Especially when you start swinging a lot of objects and the explosion multiplies.
in conclusion
We've been waiting for Mario Striker: Versus League Soccer's unabashed impatience, a game that instantly satisfies with its ease of use, the immediate fun it offers, the suspense of every game and the reversal of impossible situations. Special thanks to Super Strikes with great visual style or objects we swing happily like Mario Kart.But for the romance of action-packed football Nintendo Continue to be disappointed with the content of its sports games marked with Mario because like a Mario Tennis AceSingle-player and online play boils down to options that leave out (to us) what seems obvious to expect in such games. Ignoring the fact that the game is essentially made for local multiplayer and nothing else.
