If you played the original Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube or its 2007 sequel on the Wii, you know the basics here. And while the game has some balancing issues (especially in single-player mode), as a whole, it's a frenetic and fun take on the sport that could easily sustain a strong online multiplayer community. Much like its predecessors, Mario Strikers: Battle League fulfills this video game sports fantasy quite nicely, offering what is essentially the Super Mario Kart version of simplified soccer. In a virtual version, I want to see the sport enhanced with features that would be impossible on a real field of play. If I want a game that captures every detail of a real sport accurately and authentically, I'll just go outside and play that sport myself, or maybe watch some professionals do the same. ![]() ![]() When it comes to sports video games, I'm of the opinion that the wackier they are, the better.
