Well the best way to sum this title up is by the fact that i have just spent about 3 hours laughing with my 2 kids. If that is not why i bought a games console then i don't know what is.
Great entertainment, funny, exciting and you do not have to like soccer at all (i am not included in that last statement)
Well thought out game lots to do, extra's to get, good characters.
I thought at first that only controlling 3 outfield players might not work but it's perfect, stop thinking of the premiership and think of Rollerball i.e get the ball by whatever means possible and put it in the net. You can also play on the same side and take out the opposition while your mate goes for goal.
It might sound a bit violent for kids but there is no blood, people don't stay down they just get up and come back for more and it's all done in a very amusing way.
