What a great game this is. Seriously. Imagine Sensible Soccer meets Football Manager meets Goal (the film), and you have a rough idea of what's involved. As a wannabee football star, you must lead your player through his entire career, both on and off the pitch. There are loads of real-life leagues to play in, while every squad is about as close to its real-life couterpart as you could hope for. Playing in your preferred position in matches is both incredibly entertaining and hugely challenging, especially as your player starts off with some pretty poor stats that can only be improved through training. Perform badly, become unfit or lose confidence and you'll soon find yourself warming the bench. Off the pitch, you have to strike a balance between your work, leisure and family time, but while these features are fun, they're a little basic. With a better match engine and some more off-field depth, this could easily be a huge commercial hit. For now though, it'll just have to content itself with being Indie Game Of The Month. |
