It's out today if anyone is interested in picking it up. I might get it, not sure yet.
Im tempted.
Cant afford it at the mom but the review in edge said its ok and pretty good multiplayer
I'm definitely getting this, once my exams are over anyway.
I've heard good things about this really, but it just doesnt appeal to me tbh. I may just need to give it a go or wait for it to come down, but I prefer my 'proper' footy games, so might give it a miss. However, I'm glad to hear that the online part of the game works well - apart from the stupid friends codes :) - as that bodes well for other games which will utilize the same network code.
For me, I'm waiting for RE4 and umbrella chronicles. Bought RE4 for GC and just started it when they announced this. Cant wait, as I hear that its an amazoing game... but thats it for me at the moment.
TH PA guys seemed to like it, and theyre usually pretty spot on . However, im far too busy puzzlequesting to think about playing anything else.
I picked it up yesterday. Realy is a good laugh for multiplayer. not done any singleplayer stuff yet gonna try out teh wifi stuff today you when I get soem spare time. So far a good competative laugh.
The who? Just wondering who that was?Quote:

Destructoid ppl are sRead a load of comments on another site slagging off the fact that you cant play against ppl from other regions.
I dont see what the problem ios with that really. PErsonally I will prolly pick it up at some point this week as It looks like it could be a lot of fun
Mate of mine got it friday and is very impressed with it, look forward to playing it at some point tbh. Are you sure it doesn't allow you to play against people of other regions? The chap I know thats got it said he'd been rucking with yanks on it all afternoon yesterday?
Looks good, going to go pick this up tomorrow
TiG
I didn't realise this was out yet..figured it would be a few more months!
So i'm off out to pick it up in a few mins at the same time as grabbing lockon..looking forward to some online wii gaming at last :D
how does the online play go?? have any of you tried yet??
I've played online I'll set up another thread so we can all put our Mariostrikers friend code in and play friendlies against eachother.
It's pretty quick to find a game online in the ranked bit best of 3 matches 3 minute timelimit. I've ahd soem good 1v1 and 2v2 online, is a laugh.
Just got home with it...man that was long!
I think i've been to every single shop in the whole of Stafford that sells Wii stuff - finding the game wasn't a problem (most places had it) but finding a second nunchuck so I could play multiplayer with my housemates was a right pain.
Game, Gamestation, tesco, asda, sainsburys, wollies, argos, couple of indie stores, the co-op department store..everywhere. In the end it was PC-World that had ONE left, and I got student discount on it so it worked out for the best really :)
About to give it a try now anyway, will post my friend code in the other thread shortly :)
That story reminds me how lucky I was when I got my Wii.
I just walked into HMV in stafford bought a Wii + extra controller + nunchuck without any problems.
Its fantastic :D
loving this game
TiG
^^ Agreed, just been playing on it for hours with my housemate..we had a blast on the Vs mode for a while (lots of 5 goal games..takes 20-30mins a match lol) and then tried going online. Had one game but as i'm with plus.net who limit the internet to 56k speeds from 4pm till midnight it didnt work well..should be awesome with a working internet connection though :)
Going to have a go on the single player after i've eaten..definitely one of the best games i've bought for my wii so far though.
It is giving me a sensi soccer feeling :)
TiG
hehe yea, well we can try to do soem online play before 4pm some time Spud hehe. I'll add your code tonight.
This is definatly one of the best games for the system at the moment.
Really feels like effort was put into it. Granted they don't use motion sensing much but I'm not fussed. Makes a change from mini games.
I don't know shaking the wii remote for tackle feels so natural :)
TiG
I think I may have to pick this up on the way home tonight then :D
Is there any online league structure set up or any player cards showing wins losses etc?
Yup, both :)Quote:

rofl. I`m tempted to stop off at asda on the way home... Must resist
Join usssssss................
I need to get a USB network adapter but i'll be online soon enough
TiG
Just went to town today - most places are totally out of it - Game, Gamestation, HMV, Virgin, Tesco all out of stock. Finally saw it at Woolies for 34.99 so thought, well its only a fiver more than i wanted to pay, so its sitting in my bag, waiting to be used... But i have to stay late at work!!! Gah!!! And I got Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for GC through the post from the 'bay too!!!
Oh well - just couldnt resist anymore... Expect to see my friend code in the other thread soon.
JP
for me its like speedball 2 with the nintendo touch :)
love it, although the computer gets a bit nasty on later cups
Just had my first go on it and loved it :D
Only problem is that it seems a bit too reliant ont he mega shot.
ALso I cant beat waluigi :(
I also thought that after the first game that I had in the fire cup, but as you progress, I seemed to think that it was really tough to actually get a megashot off, as you will get closed down too quick.Quote:

Havent had that much time to spend on it, so not experimented too much but I'm with Bowser (Was the first I picked for some reason - so stuck with him), the Boo, One of the hammer Bros (Great skillshot) and the defensive position is still up for grabs...
...I never thought i would be talking like this about this game :p
It is a good laugh though!
boy am I bad at this game
W 6 L 24
and I really did lose it the other day when my two kids were fighting in another room whilst I was being thrashed 10-0.
I find I just get the twitchy let down, with out the excitement boost.
This game does not enhance my good side at all.
Maybe I should read the instructions.
So far all I can do is pass and do the megatrikes.
Only realised halfway through the fire cup that there are weapons like green shells etc
got a 43-1 win last night :)
TiG
:O
That must have been megashot -tastic
no need to read the indtructions on the main menu theres a green board that says ABC on it, click it and do all the training levels it realy helpsQuote:

Yeah i hate that too - doesnt help when it leaves you open to a mega strike from an opponent. There actually is some depth to it, more than i thought there would be, in terms of picking captains and the sidekicks especially. The skills that are used on dodge and their skillshots vary quite a bit really.Quote:

hehe I like the one with the tractors etc.. good laugh with frantic running around with my last player. lol
I'm loving this game, but i'm having to put it down for a couple of days as i've played it so much the hard mode is insanely hard, i swear you get into the opponent half and they knock you for 6. I've managed to do the fire cup by crystal cup OMG.
You get the enemy hero in your half for a second and oooo here it goes megastrike.
The final game of that cup and the stats run at 23 multistrike goals saved!. still not enough and still lost 3-0.
I mean i think i'm dedicated and always play games to win, If you think Wii hasn't got a game out that for single player this one is IT!.
If you can beat it your better than me :)
TiG
I purchased this over the weekend. Still getting to grips with it but it looks a fine game.- Will be looking for some online action when my LAN connector comes. :D
ive had this a couple of weeks, im still not very good!
the controls take some getting used in the respect that you need to think fast about what is the best move to do next.
very addicting though.
I haven't found it addicting, I have played it about twice and I'm normally addicted to Mario games. To me there seems something missing, I just can't put my finger on it.
I've played it with a couple of friends, really enjoyed it. I thought it had a short learning curve and was great fun to play. Also had enough depth to keep me interested for a short while. While I can see how the single play could become boring, I generally view consoles as good to play with friends.
Fun multiplay, though I thought the execution of the megastrikes could have been done better.
It's not really a mario game as such and I don't tihnk it should be looked at as one wither. just fun multiplay havoc.
Anyone fancy a multiplayer game at some point? I got my game today, just working through the first cup atm
yea put your friend code up in the otehr thread and we'll start to do a lil tourney or something.. hop on a hexus irc chan or something
How on earth do you load the 2nd remote.... all we wanna do is play a 2 player game. How difficult have they made it!!!!
It doesn't look like you can even play this game head to head? Can someone help me out pls?
EDIT - Worked it out....... have to say not easy to do!
Really? It was pretty straight forward for me. you can even join sides and play together against the comp.
Yeah we got it sorted in the end. Just didn't expect to go into the home menu to enable the 2nd controller. I was trying to find a way in the game menus.
:| never ever had to do that..... surely jsut pressing 1+2 on the controller at worst makes the wii pick it up
