"Best Soccer Game On The Cube?"

Ok, thats really not saying much. Only other Soccer game Ive heard of is one by Sega, I think. And Ive never seen it.
This game is a Blockbuster exclusive, meaning you can only rent (and buy I think) it at Blockbuster Video.
It takes Soccer to where Street took Basketball and Hitz took Hockey, etc.
Does it work? Yeah!
Is it as fun as NBA Street and NHL Hitz.... No! lol

Gameplay - Soccer might not be as fun as Basketball or Hockey in my opinion, but that does not mean its not fun. This game is fun, and it makes a nice change of pace. Anyone who puts it down probably just thinks Soccer is "uncool". I think it would be silly to love Hitz and hate this. Gameplay-wise its pretty much the same thing on dirt instead of ice lol.
I found the control a bit confusing at first. Most of my cool moves were done by sheer luck and random button pushing. You might want to buy it just so you can take a peek at the instructions. lol

Graphics/Sound - Looks just as good as any other sports game to me. Well, not as nice as NBA Street Vol. 2. Sound is fine. youll even hear some mild bad language. Yay!

Play Time/Replayability - In my opinion every sports game is all about replayability. In fact, I seldom play the 1 player modes.

Final Recommendation - If you like games like Street and Hitz, you may want to check out this game. You probably have to go to Blockbuster Video to do so. If you see it there for like 10 bucks like I did, just buy it. Its like 5 to rent it, and you can always sell games for at least 5 bucks. Jeez a frisbee costs 5 bucks, so if you dont like the game use it as one lol. If its not for sale at a good price, rent it and play it with some friends as a change of pace. I would not recommend spending a lot of money on this game without renting.
