Reception

[edit]

Next Generation gave four stars out of five for the PC version of the game, and called it "one of the most enjoyable soccer titles" for PC.[3]

Chris Macholtz for the Arizona Daily Star called the game "no timeless classic, but it does stand on its own merits as being a game with absolutely no learning curve or complexity to it".[2]
