50With unique glitches evident Pure Football is an interpretation of the sport similar to Super Mario Strikers with its emphasis on pick up and play.
-
Not an entirely awful virtual re-creation of the beautiful game. [Issue#61, p.95]
-
Pure Football has got problems, any hardcore football fan should stay well away from this one and stick with what you've got already.
-
This needed to be 80% faster and 150% slicker. [Sept 2010, p.104]
-
50There's no freedom in Pure Football. It is a laser game disguised as a soccer game.
-
45Pure Football may be an arcade take on the sport, but that doesn't excuse its repetitive gameplay and general lack of game modes.
-
Too much tinkering means Pure barely feels like football and becomes a chore.
-
Strips football down and takes its soul.
-
40Pure Futbol is a mess of a soccer game. Its cover claims that an authentic experience awaits, but what's actually in store for players who pick up this game is far from the real deal.
-
The most telling problem though, is that even when playing with the very best squad of footballers that Pure can muster, it just isn't engaging and fluid enough to be of interest for more than a couple of matches.
-
Overall, Pure Football is a weak attempt at obtaining the football crown. Whilst it offers a unique experience and some promising ideas and concepts, the over-use of meters, the lack of game modes and the poor implementation of features means the title is one to avoid, even at the reduced prices retailers are offering the game for.
-
40The controls are iffy, the soccer is inconsistent, and the game simply cannot hold its own against the far superior products EA released ages ago.
-
35Soccer is a simple sport that relies on execution and precise play. Pure Futbol is executed poorly and is an imprecise mess.
-
30It has some redeeming features and won't be the most depressing footballing experience most of us endure in the next 30 days, but rather like most professional footballers, it would do better to focus more on its football than the surrounding pageantry - and on the pitch it can't even get the accents right.
-
Sad football arcade fails in all aspects delayed controls, weird ball physics, flat graphics the result is boredom and an odd parody of football. [July 2010]
-
FIFA Street meets Mario Strikers, but even as an arcade game this falls well short of world class.
-
Pure Football is quite simply a terrible game on every level, never mind the fact it is one of the worst football titles available. Everything seems to have been rushed and poorly thought out, and the online is just shoddy. Even short blasts will soon get tiresome and it would probably never get near most respectable rental lists either. Avoid at all costs.
-
23If this had been a modern take on the Bitmap Brothers' Speedball then it could have had some retro merit, but as a football game it's rarely anything more than stupid.
-
20Quotation forthcoming.
-
20A bad game with awful graphics, repetitive sounds and a control system that doesn't match this gen gaming standards. A game that soccer lovers must avoid at all costs.
