Sensible Soccer 2006 Review

By Tom Orry - 06/06/2006 - 3:34am GMT

Sensible Soccer 2006 is a game that you want to love, but frequently find yourself hating. As a budget title it's worth a look, but it's far from the new dawn of football games that many had expected.

The "pro" games commentaries are awful, Sensi doesn't need one. I got Sensi 2006 when it came out and it's exactly what I expected - I can't be bothered to remember loads of key combinations or special moves. Real footy is frantic and fun, just like Sensi. I have FIFA and PES which are polished games, but for fast, frantic fun, Sensi beats them by a mile. Reply

Oli	0 0 In response to Anonymous's post Balls to you!! I think its fookin ace » Go to Anonymous's original post It feels a little rushed and slightly unpolished. I played it for a couple of hours tonight. It's not bad, just the fact that the game froze after a game in a tournament on the "loading..." screen is a bit shocking. PS2 games should not have bugs. The loading times can be a little long sometimes too. Also, sometimes you do a great pass, and you do exactly the same thing 10 seconds later and it goes somewhere completely different. It's a bit random - but then I suppose football is a bit like that. And yes - the keepers are sometimes really crap in their area, but it adds to the chaos :> Overall 7/10. Room for improvement.

I think its fookin ace » Go to Anonymous's original post The reviewer didnt say it was rubbish, nor did he say it sucks because it's not as good as PES. What he said is that it is fun to play, has a charm about it, but that the fact the game has been rushed and is full of bugs leaves you baffled! You can be having a great fun game (because it is fun!!) but then stupid weird things happen like the goal keepers leg disappears half way into the ground and a ball goes straight through him or like has been mentioned above, a one minute fluid motion player suddenly teleports somewhere and the ball moves across the screen in just 1 frame! It just ruins what would otherwise be a decent game. There's no excuse for it either. We're not moaning about the graphics or gameplay here. Yes they are simple but it's Sensi so who cares! What I for one AM moaning about is the fact the coders have been extremely lacklustre in their bug testing and have obviously cut a lot of corners resulting in bizarre things happening which if they didnt would mean the game is great!

Amiga	0 0 In response to Anonymous's post Balls to you!! I think its fookin ace » Go to Anonymous's original post Since sensible world of soccer was released on amiga it had been the most funniest soccer game. It´s a bit sad it´s not the same feeling playing this. It´s at least better than the last one. But it feels something is missing. And of course it also not so fun to have a lot of fake names of the players and not all the countrys. It would be more fun to do a new version of sensible world of soccer and mayby find a solution to have a real joystick to the game. Reply

I think its fookin ace » Go to Anonymous's original post i know one of the programmers on this, they got shafted for time on finishing it, it had to be out for the cup, they wanted a couple more months to sort the aforementioned issues. plus the marketing types ballsed up and used 12 - 15 year olds as test audiences, kids who didnt know sensi at all, thats why its in the budget range if kuju do swos, it will be right, it has been promised ;) Reply
