Urban Freestyle Soccer Full Version PC Game

About Urban Freestyle Soccer:

First of all, just because Urban Freestyle Soccer has 'soccer' in the title, don't think this bears any relation to Pro Evo or FIFA. Okay, so it's still about kicking a footy into a goal, but Vanessa Feltz and Rachel Stevens are both female, but you wouldn't touch the Fat Camp gomper with your mate's lo-fat meat and two veg.

This is a totally different type of game. Think NBA and NFL Street with fewer Americans, and rules that don't exactly take a university degree to understand.

Games take place on scabby scraps of tarmac under motorway flyovers and in between ghetto hi-rises. Each team has four players, and goals are fashioned from scaffolding posts, garage doors and everyone's old school favourite - folded up jumpers.

Yellow Card

It's simple football, and a simple football game. The ball sticks to your trainers like stepped-in dog turd, and single button presses pass and shoot. The hook is the array of crazy tricks you can perform with the pigskin. Remember those Nike adverts in the cage with Edgar Davids and his mates pissing around? Like that.

Unfortunately, after you've seen these moves a few times, they've got about as much punch as diarrhoea in a paper bag. You know how cool it feels pulling off one of those over-the-head flicks in Pro Evo? It's cool because it takes skill and doesn't happen very often, but Urban Freestyle jams so many tricks down your throat they soon get boring.

Red Card

Worse than that, Urban Freestyle Soccer isn't fun to play. There are only ten teams, the camera angles are atrocious and the frustratingly simple gameplay gets dull well before injury time.

And though it tries its hardest, UF is not cool. This is a perfect example of what patronising marketing executives reckon you like - that's why there's ateam of skaters, a team of graffiti artists, a team of rappers from 'da hood' and so on. Hey, if they cover all their bases you must be able to relate to at least one stereotype, right?

Don't be fooled. Urban Freestyle is hugely disappointing and the 'attitude' it offers is embarrassing. Kick it into touch.
