The Bottom Line:

"Underappreciated"

The poor points on the gamespot review are:
Frustratingly ineffectual defensive play - I'm not sure what this means but there is an option to turn fouls off and so you can use slide tackles freely and make it feel like a more intense game of 5-a-side.

Repetitive end-to-end gameplay - This is football what do you expect, if you are a football fan then you know that end to end gameplay is good because it makes for a more exciting match

Lack of game modes - Again this is football, what do you expect, there is 3 or 4 different modes, like a timed match, a first to 1,2,3,4,5 etc. goals match, a mode where you have to win by a goal difference of 2,3,4,5 etc. and 1 or 2 other game modes, but i dont see what else to expect from a football game.

Only 20 teams - Okay so maybe the game could've included more teams, but there is an option to create your own players and teams, so i think this makes up for it.

No commentary, poor player banter. - Okay be realistic this is 5-a-side football, would you see commentators in real life? no! So why would you expect commentators in this? Poor player banter? well i'm not sure what the reviewer does in their spare time but they mustn't play much football, because the banter between the players is actually quite good and realistic.

But i picked this game up for £5 at my local blockbuster and if you are a fan of football then i would highly recommend buying this game and giving it a try.

So i think that you should ignore all the bad reviews and try this game, anyway £5 isn't too much too spend on what i think is a top quality 5-a-side football game
