Head-On Soccer

The one where you can punch


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: U.S. Gold

Year: 1995

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Isometric view like FIFA. Arcadey feel - very fast action. Speed is about 2x the SNES version but honestly it's too fast. There's no time to dribble, you basically just have to mash the pass button in hopes of getting the ball downfield. I was able to score on the SNES version but in this game I could barely get the ball across midfield. "Aggro" setting let's you punch enemies NBA Jam-style. No fouls here. Simple pass and shoot buttons.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Only tournament and exhibition, but honestly what else do you need?


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

I hate soccer. Quick drop-in and play. I like the arcade style instead of sim


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Simple graphics with small sprites but a high framerate so it looks good in motion.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Crowd noise. Some voice samples that sound muffled. Nothing special


Overall Score: 28

Review ID: 967
