Dino Dini's Soccer

No dinosaurs - I feel cheated


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: Virgin

Year: 1994

System: SNES PAL


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

The overhead view is promising since you can see a lot of the pitch, but two main problems hold it back. First, movement is painfully slow. Your players run at least 20% slower than opponents, who run circles around you whether you're on offense or on defense. I was never able to put a single shot on goal because I couldn't even get the ball into their third of the pitch. Second, passes rarely land and your teammates move like idiots so they never open up a passing lane.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

All the usual modes. But it's a lot of clicks to get into a match. All the international teams though.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Soccer. All the countries.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

I like the overhead view. Not too shabby.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Dorky menu music and ok crowd noise. No complaints.


Overall Score: 39

Review ID: 3907
