5.0 out of 5 stars
Back of The Net!, 20 Jun 2006
I am not a football fan and quizzes are not my strong point, so when a football-mad friend suggested I play an interactive football quiz game I was reluctant to say the least. My doubts soon evaporated. The creators of this game have really thought this through, as there is plenty here for everyone. The questions come in various levels of difficulty, so even I got a few right, and having Spot The Ball questions means you can guess and still have a chance. It was also fun trying to guess the footballers from their obscured photographs.
The 3D pitch is a great idea, so rather than just answer questions you really are `playing'. There are red and yellow cards, and substitutions, just like the real thing. Together with the countless video clips, photos and animation, it is a real visual treat, way beyond what I would have expected.
This is a game for both the football-crazy and the football lazy! Highly recommended.

Slick presentation, 19 May 2006
I was pretty much forced into playing this game last night by a mate of mine who had just bought it and wanted to have a 2 player go. I think he really just wanted to thrash somebody, since my footy knowledge is pretty limited!!
Reluctant as I was, I gotta say it's fun! The questions have varying difficulty (you choose a short, medium or long pass for an easy, medium or hard question) so I could at least answer some of them (easy ones of course). Some good variations of question types - the Spot The Ball one's kept tripping us up all the time!!! Hint: the ball is NEVER in the obvious place! LOL
There's also plenty of movie clips and photo's with the questions (we saw some repeats, but that's ok...)
The virtual pitch was a pretty neat idea. Being that I play console games mostly and like to think I know what I'm talking about, it was a good choice to have iconic 'markers' for your players instead of trying to cram lots of detailed little men on-screen, would have been too messy in my opinion. As it was, it's clear and still nice to look at.
I thought the scoreboard animations were really slickly done too, when you 'score' and see the animation, you feel chuffed to bits and when it gets 'saved' you feel just as gutted! :)
In fact the whole presentation is slick, lots of glossy menu's slipping in and out of the screen, animated team selection flags, footage playing in the background etc... far better than I would have expected from a DVD game, more console-like (PS2, Xbox, and so on).
Anyway, short version - I was won over by it, and will definitely be playing this again!! A couple of beers will go down nicely with it, and it'd be great to get you in the mood before an England match kicks off!! LOL
(I *did* get thrashed though)

challenging, 15 May 2006
Just been playing this. Thought I knew football but this has showed otherwise. Easy to play, presented well, varied questions and lots of pictures and videos. Can't complain for £15 and reckon this will keep me and the lads busy. Like the way its got a pitch you play on its better than just questions and answers. So thumbs up here
