Tuesday 1st November (2pm UK time) – Get ready to run around with your footy shirt over your head in celebration as Codemasters today announces the revival of the legendary football game Sensible Soccer for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.

The all-new Sensible Soccer will launch Q2 2006 and come complete with lightning fast football action, mesmerising dribbling, physics-defying sliding tackles and, most famously, a huge amount of unbelievable goals, that can go curling into the top corner, thanks to the outrageous levels of after-touch.

Renowned as the greatest multiplayer kick-about ever, Sensible Soccer will return with a modern take on its trademark zoomed out camera and truly intuitive control system, which delivers total 360-degree control over your players’ kicks and movement. Visually, the game will have a distinctive new graphical style, which includes cel-shaded players with the classic enlarged heads, designed to appeal both to fans of the series and appeal to a new generation of gamers.

The top-down view allows you to see the build up play better than you can in any current football game. This gives the player a huge degree of tactical awareness and control that has never been bettered.

And it’s not just Sensible Soccer’s playability-oozing action that’s back: Jon Hare, designer and producer of the original Sensible Soccer, has been working with Codemasters’ gameplay gurus, David and Richard Darling, on a collaborative game design. Kuju Entertainment, publishers of Tower Studios’ Sensible Soccer for mobile phones, is managing development.

“Following the success of Sensible Soccer’s recent mobile edition and the fantastic retro Plug ‘n’ Play TV version of the game, it’s great to bring a truly new version out for the first time in over eight years on all of the major formats.” says Jon Hare, now a director of Tower Studios and games design consultant,
“We are doing everything in our power to modernise and recreate the sheer playability, fun and footballing depth of the original and remind the playing public just what they have been missing out in the current market of slow, drab sims.”

Sensible Soccer will come loaded with masses of teams and players, multiplayer games for up to four players, and 50 preset competitions from all over the world.

In addition to the pre-set tournaments, Sensible Soccer will feature a DIY Competition mode, which enables you to play cups, leagues and tournaments with your own competition rules. You’ll also be able to create your own Dream Team in the game’s Custom Career Mode and play them in any of the competitions. As you clock up the wins for your squad, you’ll be rewarded with over 100 unlocks and upgrades, both useful and comedic, to customise your players with including Five Star Skill Bonuses for players and
Dinner Jacket football kits!

With further special content that will celebrate the series’ 15-year anniversary yet to be revealed, Codemasters will publish Sensible Soccer for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in Q2 2006. Codemasters Mobile will simultaneously release a Sensible Soccer spin-off game for mobile phones.

I read a good interview the other day with the man behind Sensible Soccer and he kept saying how he wants it to be on peoples shelves along side Fifa or Pro Evo and not in their place. So don't say anything about it will never be as good as Pro or Fifa. :p
 
CLASS!!!!! Def gonna have to buy it :D
 
Yasss gonna play this later today when i fix Steam :irked:.
 
Sensible Soccer

Nostalgic tears form as i remember those long hot summer days couped up in your room just you and your trusty c64 sidekick, wasting hours looking down on little lads and a huge ball, with your ma screaming up the stairs "get out and play ye feckin weirdo", ahh those were the days
 
meh this is poor really

if youve played pes or fifa youll just think its ****

the gameplays weak and just doesnt feel like a game of football

if it came out for the n64 you wouldnt bat an eyelid , its very average

if they charge full price for it , it cant sell much because id just buy pes
 
Dont listen to sam, It's class funny but good game play and it's just as mad as the old 1 :D

Def gonna buy it
 
Iv heard its nowhere as fun as the original Sensible Soccer.

U would be better buying one of those cheap joystick things that plugs into the TV, one those has the original SS.
 
hmm well ive played a few more games to try t ogive it the benefit of the doubt

ive yet to concede a goal as no fouls are given unless you hack them so you jus push them over where ever and get the ball back

i should have had about 100 pennas as they just hack you down in the box and it gets infuriating

the keepers can catch the ball when its nowhere near them , you take a shot and its going well wide and the ball just jumps 10 feet across or the keeper does to collect it or hit it out for a corner

they never catch the ball just hit it

the computer is awful , cant hit a cows **** with a banjo and just all round ****

poor game, poor
 
Is there any way i can play the orig game again on my pc?
 
Ive dreamed about this for ages my childhood is all coming back lol i still play on it for the mega drive, i hope they dont spoil it by making it 3d and turning off the music in the background
