It’s a shame text to speech isn’t further along the line … having voiceovers would no doubt make it a lot more accessible. Skip through the text and you miss some little gems - it certainly seemed to me as though the writers had fun doing this and were given more creative freedom than on previous titles. Be interesting to find out more about the writers…

I also agree with Joel. People these days are go go go!! They want the action, and can’t be bothered to slow down and read. I guess that’s the society we live in.

I totally agree on the text thing its more than rediculous and as a result I know that a lot of people dropped off the game because of it. But man when you get in there and really play its probably one of the most detailed and fun games I’ve played in a really long time. Its definetly inspired me in many ways when thinking of new ideas for some of our work.

But now onto Mario Strikers CHARGED!!!!

More than anything, it’s just how beautifully the whole game is crafted. I think that it’s funny in this day and age of full immersion experiences with photo-realistic rendering and dolby surround sound explosions and whatnot, a publisher would go to such great lengths to produce such a diverse title for more than just a niche.

Of course, the franchise is strong but they haven’t just concentrated on that franchise to power the game - which we see more and more of with kid’s movie tie-in games and licencing deals. This game just puts them all to shame. The polish, the creativity and the game balancing are all absolutely stellar.

Good idea with the stretching … when using a computer or console, one should stretch regularly. This has been an announcement from the Fuel Health and Happy Dept.

I adore this game. I’m not a fan of how much stuff I have to read but I take those moments to stretch

Welll … ok, I have to admit that the skip button on my ‘wiimote’ is wearing out. I stand by my statement about the script being the most interesting yet, even if there *is* way too much of it. Perhaps it’s time that localization took into account the 99% of the western world that doesn’t want to read novelizations in extremely small windows?

It’s a neat game, but first, I have no patience for ALL THAT TEXT. Man, I mean, I’m all for reading but it was just way too much.
