Plumps

WOW! That were days ago when I played the original SensSoc. I remember that I thought about buying the Game in 94 or so but kept playing the first Sensible Soccer. Now there was my chance due to abandonia.com, thx very much! Download, Sound-setting, Keys redefined and straight on the pitch.(Yes, in XP-Mode, no probs with THIS...)
What a disaster... As I mentioned, I played SensSoc a decade or more ago (oh my... getting old!:-) ) and in those days I defeated with my hometownclub Borussia Dortmund every Comp and Friend by 10-20 Goals ahead. Curve Kick-Goal, Curve-Kick-Goal, etc...
This was the pure Sensible Soccer-feeling, Results like in Icehockey, hehe.
But now, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! My own Goalie is a blindfolded SOB, Comp shoots from approx. 30-40 meters-GOAL!!! Oleole!! Not enough, independent from the strength of my opponent, I can fire bullets from the penalty-spot, smooth curve-kicks with my best forward (About 6,7 MIO pound), there seems to be an invisible wall... nothing goes in, this bastard is keeping his goal clean... OK, this can happen one or two times, but every match I start, NO CHANCE, ABSOLUTE NOTHING!!!!!!!! So for me, this game is an unfair piece of sh*t and gets the "Golden Pineapple" from me...
SWOS has nothing, but absolutely NOTHING to do with the original game in my oppinion because of the absolute unfair and demotivating difficulty.
My advice: Play Sensible Soccer, it will give u a fine glimpse on Videosoccer in the 90ies but dont insult ur Harddisk by copying this Crap on it.
So,i have to admit, one thing about this game remains total "thumbs up", and this is the fact that I did NOT BUY it years ago.

P.S.: Yes, I could handle the first SensSoc really blindfolded and score 10-20 Goals in 3 minutes anyway, I am not trying to tell some fairytales...

P.P.S.: For those of u who like to get screwed up bad by this unfair game, it should realy work fine in XP. But beware: if u smash ur CPU and throw ur Monitor outta the window, dont tell me I didnt warn u.

P.P.P.S.: 0/5 points from me
