Review: SFG Soccer

Simple, funny soccer

From StirFryGames comes SFG Soccer. A different soccer mini-game that can be a lot of fun. It is usually, but it would have been even better with a little more modes.

Crazy kick: It's going to take something really special to get a bicycle kick right, like this.

The regulars: When scoring, you have to celebrate of course.

SFG Soccer is marketed as a funny soccer game. It is, so absolutely and you can have hours of fun playing the game. The career mode is the most anticipating one, where you start of with a basic team who has no skills at all, and play them to victory. You start in the lowest division of totally four divisions, and play your way up the leage. The matches is arcade for sure and things happens quickly. It’s not really a beautiful game, but it sure is fun! You can also edit all the teams in the league, if you wish. Then you can play with real teams and players, from the real soccer world.

Good reading: You got to love statistics.

Sideline-cam: From here, you have full control!

Gamescore

SFG Soccer (2009)

Graphics: Not so good. Everything looks like something from the late 90’s, but then again, it’s not the point in this game to have good graphics. 2/10

Audio: Not really a lot of sound in this game, but the who is there, is bad. 1/10

Gameplay: A good feeling soccer game who sure is fun! You have four leagues to travel up and down from and a lot of teams to meet. 64 actually. There is also statistics for everything that happens on the pitch, so it will keep you occupied. 8/10

Controls: Pretty okay controller setup, but the players doesn’t always do as they are told. Especially when the ball is in the air. It’s not easy to hit an bicycle kick, so when you do, it feels great. 7/10

Overall Score: SFG Soccer is just trying to be a funny game that can knock out a couple of hours from you. It’s doing more than that. There is no problem in playing this game for a while, I think, and I sure feels great when you move up division with your team, that to get to know on the road. Should clearly be given a try.
