who would have thought that MSNBC would run an unbiased article like this?

Yeah, I bought FIFA 06 and the game is impossible.  It's so hard.  The controls are complicated.  It's tough to dribble the ball for more than a few seconds without getting it stolen.

Super Mario Strikers has gotten ALOT of good reviews just because it puts the fun back into soccer games.

I own Sensible Soccer for the Amiga CD32.  I haven't played a fun Soccer game since...I'll be checking out SMS.

Next Level Games did an excellent job on Super Mario Strikers.  I played the demo and it looks like lot of fun.

I think Father Christmas will most definately be leaving Super Mario Strikers in my son's stocking this year. :-)

OT:  Can anyone reccomend any Model Railway/Train Simulators (suitable for a 7yr old) for the GameCube?

Closest thing I found was this:

which game?  Super Mario Strikers?

Wasn't it the team that did the 2K Sports series?  They probably focused on the gameplay.  In the end, Nintendo approved it...  They seem to be contracting many external developers lately with their licensed games.  I think their internal teams are focussing on Zelda and Revolution launch titles...this could be good...
