"Those looking for a deep and consistently entertaining single-player experience won't necessarily find it here, but anyone out for some good, solid multiplayer fun, either offline or online, would do well to check out Mario Strikers Charged. "
--Alex Navarro, GameSpot
"Between all of the new stuff and a couple of random features - such as the game scolding you for cheating if it detects a mid-match console reset - there's a lot to like about the game."
--Adam Rosenberg, UGO
"It adheres to the publisher's pick-up-and-play philosophy while managing to come off as a viable update to its predecessor in every imaginable sense."
--Dan Bradley, Daily Game
"If you thought the original Strikers was good, you haven't seen anything yet. And if you've never played these soccer games before, now is the time to start."
--Matt Casamassina, IGN
"If you accept that the emphasis is on flashy moves and fun over skill and precision, you'll find a game that has a place in your collection, even if it's only brought out every now and again."
--Tom Orry, Pro-G
"Charged seems like an amped-up, carnivalized reincarnation of Nintendo's own classic Ice Hockey."
--Andrew Pfister, 1UP
"The sound effects are good with some touching crowd chants, as each match is eagerly anticipated by the masses."
--Jason Julier, GameStyle
"Games occasionally take a while to connect to, but once connected there are no real problems, after playing numerous games online I’m yet to encounter any lag or dropped connections."
--David Hall, Boomtown
"A simple control system underpins the entire experience, ensuring the emphasis is always on fun, plenty of goals and non-stop action."
--Chris Leyton, Total Video Games
"As the most original, admittedly surreal, take on the sport for years, Mario Strikers is a gem of a game and manages to flawlessly meet Nintendo's brief of appealing to absolutely everybody."
--Richard Melville, EuroGamer
"...the biggest draw is the online element, where you can either play alone against friends or anonymous folk or even choose to have you and a friend play against another pairing online."
--Adam Riley, Cubed3
"At the end of the day what we have here is a Wii game that’s good enough to distract you from those fantastic old games in the virtual console."
--Sam Leitch, NZ Gamer
"The frantic action never fails to entertain and the range of character types and special moves on offer do add just a slight tactical element into the mix."
--Gavin Udall, Ace Gamez
