Small publicity, Big heart!
Graphically this game is pretty good; I admit it does not look the best, but it is nothing that will bother you.
The sounds in this game, well, leave a lot to desire; the English commentators really falter at conveying the magic of the game, and will frequently reassure you that a little girl could have done a better job. I really don't think it is such a turn-off, but I must be fair and point out the bad things.
Game play in this game is all about strategy; remember how in the FIFA games you could just do the same strategy over and over and beat every team once you were good at it? Well, my friend, those days of impunity are over. No two teams play equally in this game, Brazil will insist in playing the "jogo bonito", Norway will try to stage an aerial assault on your goal and Nigeria will dazzle you with speed on the flanks. Another great thing this game has to offer is the possibility of creating your own formation, and setting up your strategy wisely in order to get the best from your players. Also, your players will get tired, and you will need substitutions.
This game is hard, it takes dedication and time to master it; i recall I used to be able to run past players and score in my FIFA game of that year. That is virtually impossible in this one, hard difficulty is really hard; and even more when you try to play a master league.
This games receives a perfect 10 from me; get it somehow, you will not be disappointed. Gems like this will never grow old.
