Sensible World Of Soccer, Analysis and Video

It’s back!! possibly the world best footy game “Sensible Soccer” is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, I had pretty much every version of this game back in the old days *showing my age now* on the Amiga 500, 600 and A1200. Sensible soccer proved over the millions of other prettier games that game-play is king, the graphics were basic with little stick-men playing the game, and repetitive crowd noise churning out of the Amiga’s sound card, and the controls followed on from the graphics in their simplicity, with only one key on the keyboard or button on a joy-pad being used to kick the football around, non of this hold A, press right and flick the bumper button to do a swerving shot at goal, just press the button and hold the direction of serve, and that’s why it is such a legendary game to this day.

Sensible World Of Soccer or SWOS to us fans took the football game to another level, bringing into the mix a management side, you could carry on playing as normal, or take a back seat and manage your team, playing from literally hundreds of teams from around the world, who were all customisable, change their uniform, names, even hair of the little stick men.

SWOS is possibly one of the best games ever made, thank-you so much to Sensible software and Renegade for making this game, I know you guys must be out there somewhere.
