Amazon.com Product Description Whether a diehard fan of the Grand Old Game, or someone who has never even seen a ball, bat or glove in your life, Mario Super Sluggers turns your living room into a rocking, socking baseball extravaganza. Staring the ever-lovable Mario and over 40 of his friends from the Nintendo universe, Mario Super Sluggers builds on the social-gaming fun and movements millions have learned from playing Wii Sports and turns even newcomers to gaming or sports titles into full-fledged baseball fanatics in a matter of minutes.  A whole new ball game |  Come to bat as a captain Mario. View larger. |  Go ape in the outfield. View larger. |  Be ready to bring the heat. View larger. |  Prepare for fielding challenges. View larger. | Gameplay Set in the diverse environments of 'Baseball Kingdom,' this is a game that is easy to learn and compulsively addictive, but that also can be made to be as challenging as you want it to be. When you are a rookie go on the offensive by swinging the Wii Remote to smack singles, doubles, triples or even home runs; while when playing defense simulating a pitching motion to toss the ball over the plate. As you grow more confident in your skills, you can choose to attach a nunchuck controller while playing defense to control outfielders for an extra challenge. And regardless at what level you play at always remember that Mario Super Sluggers' nine mini-games are always an option. So, when you need a break from organized play, just grab a few friends and take the mound in a pitching challenge or swing for the fences in the home run derby. In addition, since Mario Super Sluggers supports up to four players, with enough controllers, you can go two on two in epic battles. As you traverse the Baseball Kingdom, put together your "all star" team made up of your favorite Nintendo characters including the games five captains. Each of these has different abilities and temperament making them as valuable as they are difficult in the right or wrong situation. The result is a take on the American Pastime that you and your family will have a hard time putting down.

6 Yr Old Loves It! November 16, 2009 Molly Scarbrough (Athens, TN United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Our 6 yr old son loves this. While he loves challenging Dad to a game, he will also play against the computer. The characters each have their own specialities - and that's part of the fun....learning each.

Pros- Lots of Characters, Fair Star Powers, Good Graphics, Good Controls, Great Replay Value, Fun minigames, lots of stadiums to keep you entertained for months, or even years.
Cons- Your not really challenged that much against the CPU, but playing with a friend last a life time. After you beat challenge mode you dont really want to play it again.
Challenge Mode- Challenge mode is really fun and characters join your team easily(but not to easily). In challenge mode Bowser and Bowser Jr. come and try to take over the island. The objective is to build an alstar team and challenge bowser and his son.
Mini games- Are good if you want some short fun, they are actually challenging unlike the mario party 8 ones.
Star moves- Not one star pitch is impossible to hit, and not one star hit is an atomatic home run.
Overall:
Grapics A+
Sound B
Star moves A-
CPU difficulty B
Places A
Replay Value A
If you have another person to play with you really should get it, if not, read more reviews before buying.
