We are considering allowing Awesome Soccer to be played using the more modern multi-button approach as well as the old-school single-button-does-everything control system.

Default Player 1 controls might be the Cursor Keys for directional movement and Z, X, C for Pass, Shoot & Cross.

Alternative Control System?

What about Group A?!?  The cliche about “Group of Death” will no doubt be aired for the next 6 months…

And how about the prospect of England .v. USA….will it be a repeat of the 1950 shock result….?  Will David Beckham know which goal to aim for…?  We’ll find out next June!

Awesome Soccer has been reviewed over at CaptainD’s Gaming Blog, scoring a very favourable 7/10.  Here are some of the review highlights:

“Overall Awesome Soccer is a simple but very enjoyable game…..the vital fun factor is definitely there and the game’s charm mainly lies in its complete accessibility right from the first time you play it. Don’t be fooled though – while it’s simple to play, mastering it completely is going to take you quite some time!”

“For the quality of game and length of gameplay you can expect from it, the price of $14.95 is very reasonable.”
