Dear god I love this game. I don't know what it is about the game but I just adore it. There are flaws, and you know me, I like to get into the flaws more than the positives, so lets do that. The HUGE character roster is amazing, and certainly quite the accomplishment, but the fact that they had to make so many characters means that sometimes characters can feel quite bland. Each character has a special ability, special animations, etc. but you can see that in actual gameplay characters can sort of just be like others. Of course, its not a big issue, and it certainly does not detract from the game itself, especially since it is barely even apparent that it exists. Of course the biggest flaw of the game is that nearly all actions are motion controls. Run? Shake the wii remote. Swing? Shake the wii remote. Pitch? Shake the wii remote. Catch, throw? Shake the wii remote. Of course, some can think this is an issue, but I personally don't. You can attach a nunchuk to make the actions more precise, and it still can require some skill. If you don't attach a nunchuk, then you are free to just shake to win, but you are susceptible to the AI's mapping, which is sometimes not the greatest, so I think that it balances out and is fair. Yes, that is all of the negatives I have, seriously this game is amazing and I love it. Biggest roster of any Mario Sports game by far, beautiful fields, even for a Wii game this game looks great. And oh my gosh the music is such a bop, I legit have playlists with nearly all the songs from this game in them. I don't know if it's nostalgia talking or what but everything about this game just screams love and passion from the creators. I don't want Nintendo to even make another game in this series, I don't want them to ruin something as beautiful as this like they did with Mario Strikers. I won't get into that here I already reviewed it, but if anyone else has played this game, tell me what your thoughts on it were!
