Gameplay

The game resembles Krisalis' previous video game Manchester United Europe . However, the camera is closer to the ball, producing a faster action. [3]

Reception

Power Unlimited gave a score of 68% summarizing: "With a side view instead of a camera angle high above the field, this game is different from others. However, proper control over the players is lacking, which means you are constantly lagging behind. However, there are a large number of options." [5]
