Amazing Soccer

Why We Picked Amazing Soccer

Swipe, aim, score. Two modes, a set of targets, and stars that unlock balls, nets and goalkeepers as you go. The pleasure is in the arc of a swipe rather than in a league table, and there is no season to grind through. It is a small shooting-gallery take on football, not a simulation of the sport. Six ratings is thin evidence, so judge it on the swipe rather than the stars.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Swipe the ball at a target and watch the arc carry it to the mark.
• Hit the targets to score, and collect stars to unlock new balls and nets.
• Aim for the target you can reach cleanly instead of the hardest one on screen.

Editor’s Note

Two modes and a cosmetic unlock path, so nothing here is a long campaign. It suits a spare minute more than a spare hour, and the six ratings reflect that so far. On the record: 286 plays, 4.2 out of 5 from 6 ratings, and 422 of 500 on the arcade shelf.
