90 Minutes European Prime Goal
Yellow card for the EuropeansGenre: sports - soccer
Publisher: Namco (JP) Ocean Software (PAL)
Year: 1995
System: SNES PAL
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Feels like so many other soccer titles. You can only control one player at a time, unlike a game like Capcom's Soccer Shootout where you steer multiple players without having to select a specific one. This makes defense nearly impossible here, since the very act of switching to a defender causes that guy to full stop, taking him out of the play. Plus the refs are quick to give you a yellow or red card. I was able to score once, but not before being scored on numerous times. I also feel like the direction in passing and shooting don't work. The ball goes wherever the game wants it to go. Lastly, the controls are needlessly confusing. A shoots, B passes, X lofts, and Y does something, but when the ball is in the air it's Y that makes you jump to perform a header or bicycle kick to shoot. Why isn't it A? It makes no sense.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
All the modes, including a player creator called "You're a Hero".

Generic international soccer, but with only 14 teams. Naturally, only European countries.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Bg sprites that animate well, which cmoes at the cost of gameplay.

Ok menu music and good in-game sounds that don't annoy.
Overall Score: 48
