REVIEW

Super Mario Strikers

(GC)

What's next? Mario Cricket?

It's funny what a little Mario can do. Somehow in Strikers, launching a barrage of turtle shells at an opposing soccer player makes a strange kind of sense. This exercise in Mario brand extension could just as easily be based on water polo, lacrosse, or hockey, but while the arcadey gameplay is simple to learn, it packs some real strategy in a two-player game, on both offense and defense. That feel-good Mario glow won't last too long if you're playing alone, though--once you suss the A.I.'s intricacies, the game holds little mystery or reason for replay.
