It's not another Mario sports gem, but Mario Super Sluggers still has a rough, unpolished appeal.

If the Challenge Mode offered some additional options then I know the game could have scored higher. Yet if you're looking for a game to play with your friends Mario Super Slugger should still be on your list.

We wouldn't go as far as to say this is Nintendo-made shovelware, but there's very little that has changed in the three years between "Mario Superstar Baseball" on GCN, and Mario Super Sluggers on Wii.

Game Features

Newcomers to gaming or sports titles will be up and running on Mario Super Sluggers in no time. Simply swing the Wii Remote to smack a home run, or use a pitching motion to toss the ball over the plate.

Two, three or four players can pick up Wii Remote controllers and challenge one another to a full baseball game or compete in a host of baseball-themed mini-games. There's even a home run hitting contest.

Mario Super Sluggers boasts more than 40 playable characters, all Nintendo favorites. The single-player adventure mode allows the player to explore Baseball Kingdom, tackle dozens of fun baseball challenges and unlock new characters that can be used in any mode. You can also play with your Mii™ characters in Exhibition, Toy Field and Minigame modes.

Great Wii game for kids

My final recommendation is that Mario Super Sluggers is a great game for children. It wouldn't... be a top-selling game for nothing.
