This is a good reproduction of a five-a-side football match. The display is a three-dimensional football pitch, with all the appropriate pitch markings, goals, flags and scoreboard.

The game can be of any length and is split into two halves. Two teams must be named and both must be played by people - it would be a good addition if one side could be played by the computer.

Control is by joystick, or by using the arrow keys for the blue team and their counterparts on the right section of the keyboard for the red team.

You have control of one player, with the rest of the team following around in his general direction. On the whole, this is a good system, and I found there was always another member of the team where I wanted him.

Kicking the ball is done using the fire button, and both speed and direction of the ball are catered for. You also use the fire button for tackling.

When a goal is scored, there is the option of a slow motion replay.

The instructions are clear and concise although printed in six languages. The graphics are excellent with the pitch represented perfectly and the teams accurate with moving legs and arms.
