Capcom's Soccer Shootout

The best SNES soccer title


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: Capcom

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

This came out of nowhere. Very arcadey, fast gameplay. Decent controls and, most importantly, the ball goes where you tell it to go. Thank goodness Simple shoot and pass controls. Lots of randomness, like the power and height of your kick and sometimes your guy automatically dodges a tackle or whatever. I like that I don't have to make everything happen, but I don't like when I'm on a breakaway and go in for a shot only to tap the ball like I'm a 9 year old.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Has all the standard modes PLUS AN INDOOR MODE! This makes the game so much more playable and fun because there's no break in the action. So good.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

I hate soccer


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Sprites are very small but animate well and the animations themselves are mercifully short which allows the gameplay to flow nicely. Basic but nice.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

In-game music that gets really old really quick


Overall Score: 61

Review ID: 503
