    With unique glitches evident Pure Football is an interpretation of the sport similar to Super Mario Strikers with its emphasis on pick up and play.

    There's no freedom in Pure Football. It is a laser game disguised as a soccer game.

    Not an entirely awful virtual re-creation of the beautiful game. [Issue#61, p.95]

    Pure Football has got problems, any hardcore football fan should stay well away from this one and stick with what you've got already.

This is a fun football game with lots of amazing venues and cartoon style graphics. Yes it does not have freestyle moves but it is the only con about this game, if you can't play it well, then try turning the fouls off or try an easier difficulty level.

    If you want realism, go play FIFA or PES, that isn't changing. Pure Futbol shows no interest in competing with these juggernauts. Pure FutbolIf you want realism, go play FIFA or PES, that isn't changing. Pure Futbol shows no interest in competing with these juggernauts. Pure Futbol is an over the top, approachable soccer game.

The only complaint I have is that the controls could be a bit tighter. I would have to agree with the underrated comment above, this game definitely deserves a better score.
    8.5/10 Would play again!    … Full Review »
