Wow, I didn't expect this soccer game to be as good as it is! I've played EA's soccer game and I'm surprised to say that Real Soccer 2009 beats it in quite a few categories. Check this game out! Don't pass it up.

This review is from: Real Soccer 2009 (Video Game)

NOTE: I downloaded this game from the Nintendo DSi store. The game is the same version, as the cartridge, in everything except for the number of leagues and number of teams.

This game has 4 game modes: Cup (competition for various trophies), League (season play), Exhibition, Penalty Kicks, and Training module.

The training module is an essential part of this game which gives you the skills to learn basic and advanced moves. You can even train your team without competitors.

A nice addition is the Custom Photo mode which can allow you to personalize your ball, flag, and face in the game.

Graphics and sound are very good for a handheld game. You hear the crowd cheer and sing, in addition to the sound effects of the officials.

Gameplay is robust with the ability to make substitutions, change formations, change the offensive and defensive levels of your team, match tactics and with the touch screen, you can tune up your formation in real time. Game control has a high learning curve and controls incorporate the directional pad, X, Y, A, B, L, R buttons and the touch screen.

There are many different leagues with over 100 teams. Each player has an in depth profile with every attribute rated on a 1-100 numerical score with his greatest strength highlighted in yellow.

This game would suit any soccer enthusiast. It is one of the most detailed soccer games that I have every played.
