Just a simple review to warn you to stay away, swos is one of the gaming worlds truely amazing games, this isnt
First off .
Upon loading the game you notice the simple but effective graphics, unfortunately even though my machine can run Half Life 2 and Oblivion at a high setting the game jerks and slows down around the edges of the pitch and in the goal mouth.
There is no licence which is acceptable but annoying, just like in pes i hope there will be a patch.... well i would if i was ever to play this again.
Onto the actual game, there is a major flaw with the game, and thats the fact that you must do what the computer tells you i.e. You make a pass to your forward but you cant control him untill the ball touches his foot by that time a sliding tackle has taken you out and the ball is still ... no foul is given, both players get up at the same time and they win the ball and run in a straight line shooting wide but my keeper jumps to the right misses the ball by about an inch then the ball jumps onto his hand and is tipped wide resulting in a corner which is taken and none of my defenders move as i have control of a midfielder . The striker passes the ball which misses the other striker my keeper stands still as the pass trickles into the net as he dives .
Another example ... im through 1 on 1 on goal i tap shoot and the ball hits the bar, my player, the keeper, the bar, my striker then slide tackles with the ball at his feet and fouls someone getting a red card, following the free kick i nick the ball im through 1 on 1 on goal again and get chopped down in the box no contact with the ball and nothing is given,
The game is annoying, a ruined classic, a travesty and a poorly made excuse for a game.
Avoid at all costs
