Ratings and reviews

A very enjoyable game overall. The beauty is in its simplicity: retro graphics (think SWOS, which in itself is a compliment), straight-forward and responsive controls, and addictive challenges. For 5 stars I'd like to have a midfield scenario included in each game, whereby you have to make or intercept key passes, which might change the course of a game. Also, I would like a career mode or, at least, some way of tracking performance. Club version? With editor? PLEEEAASEEE

Game reminds me of sensible soccer. But the game play is very simple and limited. It feels "scripted" meaning you have to play and shoot in certain ways to score. It feels repetitive very quickly. But still a fun game. Can play as ARG 86 with Maradona. For me the biggest problem was playing in horizontal mode. You can barely see the goal before approaching the penalty box. Thus you can not shoot from far.

The game simulates the whole match and you only get to control your team when there is a chance to score a goal. The simulation heavily favours stronger teams to the point that, when you epseically play as an underdog, the game pretty much simulates your team to lose without you ever getting the chance to control your team. It really makes you feel like the game is more scripted than FIFA :P
