STORY / GAMEPLAY Sensible Soccer is a football game, so there's no actual story here. The aim is to choose your favorite team and win all the matches until you become the champion. Sensible Soccer offers a bunch of editable National, Club or custom teams and its gameplay is based on a relatively simple and user-friendly control scheme. A trademark of this game is its visuals, consisted of tiny and funny looking players and a perspective that allows the player to see a relative large area of the field, giving the game a great arcade feeling! The International Edition (reviewed here) is a slightly improved version of the original and includes some slight gameplay adjustments, a World Cup tournament and on-screen referees as well (!) This particular version was released alongside with the 1994 World Cup game.
The gameplay is great fun (and funny at the same time), while the controls are accurate (though some practice is needed to learn them). Of note: Worldwide, Sensible Soccer is among the "most played" games in the gaming industry as Sensible Software created once more a true masterpiece (as they did with their Cannon Fodder series). No matter the version, Sensible Soccer is surely a great, an addictive and a very entertaining game, especially when is played like a "tournament among friends". GRAPHICS / SOUND Sensible Soccer is played from a zoomed-out "bird's eye" perspective (much like the renowned Kick Off series with the only difference spotted on the height of the camera). The game's visuals (though tiny) look fantastic and they have a humorous style combined with some incredibly smooth and fast action! Actually, the whole "tiny looking package" and the awesome gameplay are the reasons that made this game so popular! The sound is equally great and features a cool variety of football, sampled sound effects plus some nice music tunes at the game menus.
