Meta Review: Super Mario Strikers (GC)

Mario loves some sports action. The Italian plumber and company will release their next sports title, dubbed Super Mario Strikers, next Monday, December 5 in the US. Here’s what the critics are saying:

Eurogamer 8/10 - “It’s charmingly designed from the ground up to be as fun and accessible as possible, yet despite its astonishing simplicity, it still managed to hold our interest well beyond our expectations.”
IGN 7.6 - “You’ll be pleased to know that, although not without flaws, this is one of the most addictive multiplayer titles to hit GameCube in quite some time. With two or more people, it is transformed into one of those games that you just can’t stop playing.”
Gamespot 7.2 - “It’s soccer starring Mario and friends, but the problem is, there just isn’t enough “Mario” in Super Mario Strikers.”
GamePro scores the game with a high 5/5, while EGM give it a 70%. With these varying reviews, chances are if you’ve dug previous Mario sports titles, you’ll appreciate this one too. Having played the demo, we can honestly say it’s a blast.
