I am writing this review because the only other review for this game so far gives it 5 stars. In my opinion, there is NO WAY this game is worth 5 stars. The reasons are as follows:

1) Gameplay is VERY slow. This game is frustrating to play because the lego players move at a snail's pace during the game, and that's when they are "running".

2) Despite the screenshots which show a bunch of different backgrounds for the matches, you can only play at 3 different "stadiums" until you beat certain levels in single player mode, which unlocks newer stadiums one at a time. Kind of annoying if you just want to play a friend and want more stadiums to pick from.

3) There is no commentary during games, which makes the matches very quiet and dull. And the music isn't enough to make the match entertaining.

4) The powerups may seem fun at first, but they grow old and are a pain to use during games.

All in all, I'd give this game a 2 out of 5 because it might be fun for little kids.

Let's get real here, people. This is not FIFA soccer video game. Not even Beckham soccer. This is "LEGO" soccer. If you are going to buy this game thinking realistic, you are the one that needs a reality check. Yes, the movements are pretty slow, but how much fun is it to play against skeletons or indians or pirates or arctic doctors? And what about the fact that you HAVE TO WIN to get your trophy back? I am 30 years old, from Argentina (soccer is national sport), I own FIFA 2001, 2003 and 2005, and I got this game as a christmas present, for the simple reason that family members think that I will love anything with the word "soccer" on it (That's how I got the infamous Alexi Lalas Soccer game)Anyway, when I started palying this game, I didn't really know what to expect. Play is very easy, although I got surprised with the famous "power ups". So the first match I won 13-0. Piece of cake. When I got to play with the "Leo's Knights", I barely won 5-4 on "sudden death"! I really got into it, since I HAD TO WIN to get my trophy back from the "Brickster". Lot of fun game! If you want something "realistic" and buy this game, you are in the wrong track. Do not blame the game.

I was hunting all over for this game for my son. Amazon was the only place that had it. I bought a used copy and was a bit nervous. It got here right on time and was fine. My son loves it. He said its great and easy to play. He has been playing it ever since. Thanks.

I am [..] and love legos, but what could be better than Legos for your PS2? I absolutely loved this game when I was younger and am seeking to purchase it. It isn't Fifa, but Fifa can get so boring that you need something a little wacky and different to lighten your mood. Start in a bad mood and you will be in a good mood when you are done. It isn't too terribly hard, but it is hard enough to keep someone entertained. At any rate, I am thirteen and really enjoy this game, so anyone younger will enjoy it twice as much. Lego couldn't have made a better video game.

My son and I LOVE LEGOS. We thought it might be cute to play LEGO Soccer on the PS2 (the Lego Star Wars for the PS2 are awesome!). Unfortunately this is not the case. This game is very bad, the graphics are awful, the color scheme hurts your eyes, and the game is hard to play.

The game was bought for my Grandson for Christmas. He was very excited
when he opened it up on Christmas Eve. He's only four and he loves playing it. It will take him awhile to master it but still enjoys it.

My son loves this game. It is easier for kids to understand than the FIFA games and he loves the different themes. Great game for fans of the Lego Star Wars games and soccer.

it was fun fun fun ...
