Critic Reviews

70 Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
The controls are easy to learn, and the game has a surprising depth. [August 2002, p.110]
70 Game Informer
I can't believe that you can't build your own custom stadium and/or pitches - what else are the Legos for? [Sept 2002, p.81]
69 GameSpy
A simple game. It doesn't promise to do much, but what it does do, it does fairly well.
67 GameNow
A decent soccer game for kids. [August 2002, p.46]
59 GameSpot
Fun enough to sit down with for a couple of minutes, but more serious soccer fans won't find it the least bit satisfying if they're looking for a proper and involved video rendition of their sport.
58 GameZone
Runs out of steam pretty quickly.
55 IGN
If you're looking for a simple soccer game for your 8-year-old kid, Soccer Mania delivers fun, if short-lived arcade soccer action, but anyone older than that will grow bored rather quickly.
40 PSX Nation
Wastes its Lego license on a simple and kid-friendly soccer engine that offers zero appeal or incentive for anyone old-enough to watch “Scooby-Doo” reruns to come anywhere near it.
