Sensi Soccer on Xbox LIVE Arcade in time for Xmas

Following a rather hefty release delay, the beautiful game is set for release on December 19.

Codemasters Online and Microsoft have announce that Sensible World of Soccer for Xbox LIVE Arcade is to be released on December 19, just in time for some family football matches over the Christmas period.

The game retains all of the original touches that made it such a fan favourite, but also brings the game up-to-date with online multiplayer modes and updated visuals created by the original designer for SWOS. Purists can relax though as the original visuals are there if you want to use them.

No price has been confirmed just yet, but 800 MS Points seems highly likely.
