    A good soccer program, featuring excellent animation and sound and solid game play. If there is a drawback it would be the lack of gaming options.

    The game is not that difficult, and the only thing you can really unlock is a few extra teams. The game is a little better if you can play it with someone else, but you will become quickly bored with it.
