Ultimate Soccer for MD PAL


Image: MobyGames

Ultimate Soccer

Yet another so-so soccer title


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1993

System: MD PAL


Gameplay Score: 2

Gameplay Notes:

Lots of customization options, including game speed and difficulty. It plays fast, even on Slow speed. I was able to score a fair amount on Easy difficulty, which is always a plus. This is a result of braindead AI that doesn't even try to possess the ball. The controls are weird but functional. Movement feels wonky at time, with you suddenly and randomly losing possession of the ball from time to time. Also, there isn't a dedicated pass button, but instead you have two kick buttons that sometimes feel like a light and heavy kick but don't feel reliable in any way.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

All the modes, but it takes a lot of clicks to get into a match.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

As generic as could be. The only noteworthy feature is a replay camera that plays after goals or from the Pause screen.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Looks like a PC game. Ugly sprites that looks barely human and no personality in any artwork. Low framerate as sprites zip around the screen.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

There's some bad music that can be disabled and unimpressive sound effects.


Overall Score: 45

Review ID: 6846
