Advantages: 'Awesomeness' of tricks, player level up mode

Disadvantages: Not exactly realistic football.

This game was given to me for free and I have to say, if this was not the case, I probably would not have played on the game. It just doesnt strike me as a game I would enjoy, I would rather play a 'traditional' football game than one with 'altered rules'.
After some time playing the game, and after decideing it was best to view the game as not a variation of football, but a completey different sport, I have to say I did quite enjoy it.
You only have a small team, three outfield players and a goalkeeper, but one of your players, created by yourself, will grow in ability and gain experience after each of the games, making it a fun challenge to try and level up to be the best. A feat which I have got to say, does get you playing for long periods of time.
The actual gameplay is, as you may imagine, quite farfetched, and with no referee, sometimes chaotic. To score you can shoot, like normal, or do some tricks before shooting, to get a larger points reward for the goal. This is a good concept, but with so many different tricks and so few buttons available on the controller, most of the tricks are easily repeated and loose their novelty after some time.
Overall, I would say this to be quite a fun game, ideal for competing against friends and family.
