Mario strikers: still playing?

    Anyone stilll playing this? i'll be honest and say i havent played it in a while, especially since i bought smooth moves/galaxy etc etc.

    however, at the weekend we had a party. the boys wanted something like Fifa, but of course i dont have Fifa. so i stuck Mario strikers on, with a warning that its nothing like Footy as they know it.

    So we start playing anyway. I showed them the controls and after 5-10 mins we were away.

    I have to admit, i forgot how much of a laugh it was! its chaos!! the reason i had stopped playing it was coz i was the only person playing it in my house, adn the connection online kept dropping, much to my frustration!! so anyway, i forgot how much of a good game it was.

    so my question, is anyone still playing this, or has the newer games resigned it to the games cabinet?

    Is it any good?

    Big soccer fan and serious PES player.

    Would I like it?

    That there says it all. However that doesn't mean that it's not great fun. I used to play it online every night before I got Mario Galaxy. Huge "Just one more game" factor. The fact that you can technically score 6 goals within the first 3 seconds of the game is great.

    I'll definitely be getting back into it. Used to play against a large number of people here and on Wiffy but have 50 friends with no one ever online now these days.

    It's more mario kart on a football pitch than being comparable to PES or FIFA though.
