Ganbare! Super Strikers doesn't really have enough interesting aspects to it to really hook me in. It has a profound lack of content- its "story mode" is just a series of menus and a couple text bubbles, which means Ganbare! needs to rely on the strength of its actual gameplay. While the game itself is evocative of various oddball Japanese sports RPGs; it fails to either carve out its own strong niche or perfectly emulate the feel of something like a Camelot GBA title. The matches themselves have interesting implementation of the various rules and manuevers of soccer, but the tactical aspect is pretty unfulfilling. At its worst, you are slogging through a 30 minute match just to lose to a series of bad RNG rolls. Overall, its an admirable attempt but nothing to write home about.
