Gameplay

Movement feels great, but passing is much more difficult in this version than the SNES version. Opponents crowd you immeditely and block your every move. In fact, I rarely completed a pass. Consequently, scoring is incredibly rare. I played for 30 minutes and never scored a goal.
Each button corresponds to a different kind of hit but I honestly couldn't detect much of a difference between them.
Pitch is isometric which makes movement a bit weird but it lets you see a lot of the field but makes passes challenging.
Gameplay is fluid but slower than Sensible Soccer and Elite.

3 / 5

Level Design

Lots of modes.
Corner kicks and throw in and such are handled well which I liked.
Has an action or a simulation mode. I went with action and scored a couple of goals which is better than most games.

Theme

It's soccer. I hate soccer

Art Style

Sprites look good and animate very well.
Everything looks great, even the menus are pleasing.

Audio

Crowd noise and some really dorky menu music. Title screen music is far worse than the SNES version
