Super Soccer Champs (iOS)


Uprising Games’ newest iOS game isa solid re-creation of the 2D top-down soccer action found in Kick Off 2 and SensibleWorld of Soccer. To make things a bit easier for today’s audience the gamefeatures two action buttons (shoot and pass) and an easy dribble mode (wherethe ball sticks to your feet).  The gamespeed, despite being adjustable, is also significantly slower than thoseaforementioned 16-bit games but that’s likely a good thing because of the smallscreen size of the iPhone and iPad.

None of the leagues or players arelicensed but Uprising Games get around this by just including the last name ofplayers and/or pseudo-names. The classic tournaments also feature accuraterosters so I could re-create the 1990 World Cup using an England side that hasBarnes, Gascoigne, Lineker, Beardsley and Waddle!

I definitely had a lot of fun withSuper Soccer Champs but I acknowledge that the top-down 2D soccer gameplay maynot be for everyone (particularly if you didn’t grow up playing Kick Off or SWOS) but if you have an interest in soccer games I definitely think it’sworth a try.
