I had very mixed feelings playing this.
On the one hand I love football, so anything to do with just kicking a ball already gets a couple plus points. Watching the character slide up to the ball and hit it away actually had me laughing quite a bit. It wasnt what I was expecting, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
However, all of it felt very slow. The transitions from one move to the next, the player movement, the ball rolling, it all could have just been sped up a little. Also, the camera doesn't follow the ball after hitting it, which was quite disappointing to me!
In the end I had a decent amount of fun playing this, and I can see myself playing a slightly improved version again some day.
