There's not really much we can say about this one. It's a game, it scrolls vertically and it's cock. So there you are.

What we said then

Presentation
83%
The starting screen is fair, and the team selection screen is rather jolly. Throughout the game the standard remains high.
Graphics
62%
Nice presentation screens, but the in-game graphics are gaudy and confusing.
Sound
56%
Whistles, cheers, and other spot effects - but they're very tinny indeed.
Playability
53%
Don't expect to play this long into the night - it's irritatingly difficult to control.
Lastability
39%
The frustrating controls and naff payability result in this quickly being relegated to the software shelf.
Overall
51%
A very poor effort that's disappointing in the extreme - get World Cup Soccer instead.
JAZ
The graphics are all out of scale (the men are nearly as big as the goal!), the ball movement is utterly unrealistic and the sound is dreadful.
MATT
A football game that does not reward skill easily is no football game at all - and sadly that's the case here.

What we say now

JAZ
A veritable stained lavatory pan of a football game with dreadful graphics, dire sound and playability from Satan's school of gaming. Presentation should stay the same, but the rest of the ratings down by 20%.
RICH
Pathetic. World Cup Italia '90 was awful then and it's even worse now. A footballing debacle even more forlorn and shabby than England's simpering performance in the European championships. Take 10% off each rating.
