Good Fun

Now if you looking for big football game like Fifa or PES you not going find it here but what you will find is a fun 5 a side football game. Good number of teams and players with their real names. Gameplay is good and very easy to get the hand of along with good little number of skill moves and powershots. Fouls, there is a foul bar if the goes to the top against your team the other team will get a pen just like that. campaign mood you got make your own team and player up so the more you win and do you get points that go towrads your player skill and the challenges you do in the matches will help you get real players for your team which means the skill will go up for your team to become better. Online mood is good and fun as well

Good for a kick about

This ain't FIFA, but it makes for a nice change, and some of the shouts on the pitch are hilarious. Me and my mates have been loving this, its great in 2v2 and online works a treat

Pure Football

The presentation is refreshing and comparable with the FIFA benchmark from the outset when you first see the sleeve. The general art direction seems to have been heavily influenced by the Russian Constructivism movement, which was responsible for many of the iconic revolutionary communist posters that are fashionable today. Pure Football can call upon a roster of 230 professional footballers and 17 legends from all of the nations represented. Each player is recognisable despite the enhanced styling and chiselled features. The wacky approach is distinctive and works well in tandem with the radical take on the football experience as a whole. This is a game that tries to shake up the status quo by relegating landmark features such as stadiums, commentary, crowds and even referees to the developers rejection bin. Instead of famous football stadia we have unique environments influenced by their location, such as a London power station or the ring in Madrid. No matter how well a football game is presented it cannot hide issues when the whistle sounds to kick off a match. Gamestyle's first hour with Pure Football did not spark much interest with even our other half commenting on how 'rubbish' it seemed. Perhaps it was our initial shock? Our reluctance to embrace this new vision? Our initial failure to cast off the shackles of the traditional eleven versus eleven experience was healed by time. This isn't like any football game before and depending on its reception may well be a one off oddity. Pure Football adopts the fast and furious nature of five-a-side with its focus on shooting and scoring. You can instigate some tactical preferences by using the D-Pad when you feel it’s required, but generally these won't have much of an impact. Each player has a shot meter; one that we suggest is very similar to that seen in golfing releases and this dictates how effective your attempt is. The meter has as sweet spot (pure shot) that will produce a more successful attempt. Players can shoot from almost anywhere with each member being rated on a variety of statistics. Goals can flow although a fair degree seem to result from rebounds and poor goalkeeping. The action is furious and should find an audience. For Gamestyle, Pure Football lacks depth when playing, as while you can score a few goals in a matter of seconds the enjoyment factor has been lobotomised. The thrill of executing a brilliant move or set piece is gone, as crossing utilises the same meter system. Here you just have to time a few simple button presses on the meters to result in a goal. It’s almost football chained to a quick time event methodology. The passing system is flawed and requires the player to point the left stick (also used for direction at the same time on a small pitch) towards your intended target. The problem being that it can take a second to correspond with one of the arrows around the player in control of the ball. Online this can be a major irritation. Slide tackling is practically forbidden, as a wrongly timed lunge will result in another meter being filled and when topped up; a penalty awarded regardless of where the incident took place. The stylised environments work but some ill-advised decisions exist with regards to the audio. Gone are the crowds and referees leaving just the sound of the players on the pitch. The result is an eerie experience when set against such huge backdrops and the music is posted missing. Whatever team you select each group of players uses the same selection of British accents, which is strange when playing as France or Cameroon for instance. Modes consist of your standard online, exhibition, quick play and create your own team. The campaign mode begins with your own creation and from then on your team has to rise up the world rankings. This must be achieved in a limited time as you unlock new arenas and take on the best. What’s admirable here is the ability to unlock opposing players through various match actions, such as passing accuracy. Each opposing player offers a specific criteria so even if you lose the game or fail to progress, you may have some new transfer options.
