I-PLAY 3D SOCCER ---------------------------------------------- SIMULMONDO
==========================================================================
Yet another football game to grace the Amiga, what's the point when we
have KickOff 2 you all cry.. well actually this one isn't bad at all - and
it's Italian, proving that other things do come from Italy apart from
Opera Singers, Pizzas, Ice Cream and Fiats.
The game is played in a first-person perspective and unlike other games it
claims to be a simulator - you play one player (wherever you wish) and
it's your job to run around the pitch to get into the proper positions.
Initially it's quite confusing due to the rather strange implementation of
the game and the hectic pace of the game. Once you get into the swing of
things it gets much better and some fairly convincing play takes place.
There's the full range of soccer things to do, including headers, free
kicks, throw ins, penalties and such like - even a pre-match zoom around
the pitch!
The graphics are fast but not particularly well animated but they work ok,
the 3D is fast too and as a whole it works quite well. Sound is limited to
basic sounds although there's a nice piece of music when loading.
Summary: I-PLAY Soccer manages to achieve it's "Simulation" objective -
but only just, it still looks and feels arcade-ish and I still don't think
Kick Off 2 has anything to worry about. That said it's a good game from a
new name, SIMULMONDO sounds like something those bloody awful Turtles
might say!
Ratings:
Graphics 70% Fast but awkward moving sprites.
Sound 50% Only average, nice music.
Gameplay 80% Initially confusing but rewarding after a time.
Overall 75% Cleverly done and well worth a look.
