  1. Slow goal keepers ensure high scores and an exciting enough experience. [May 2006, p.94]

    But the game falls apart with unnecessary gameplay quirks and bugs, things that just can't be ignored, an element that absolutely should have been ironed out before the game shipped.
  3. The DS version is by far the worst iteration of the bunch, which is sad considering none of them are that great.
  4. Putting this game into your Nintendo DS could seriously jeopardize the special relationship that you enjoy with your favorite handheld.

    Perhaps with a more DS-specific control scheme, this game could have been far better, but as it stands, it's the weakest of the bunch and entertaining only in short spurts.
