    Sensible Soccer 2006 has arrived!

    Got mine in the post this morning(PC version).

    1st impressions - like cartoon version of football.
    Thing I was most worried about was whether the playability was still there. It's still as fun as it always was. Still fast and furious play. Very simple controls - none of this through ball, 1 - 2 pass etc. just pass and other button is kick/tackle/anything else.

    Love the graphics, especially when someone gets carded or injured and they have little cut scene which fit into the game perfectly and don't interrupt gameplay.

    Will have better idea once have played it more.

    on 1st impressions, all I can say is BUY BUY BUY!
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    I quite like the old-skool look to this one, just seeing the screenshots bought back some good memories, does it have 8-way controls in this, or is it more precise now?

    Another thing, is there any kind of management sim alongside the normal game mode? Been getting an urge to buy Champ Man for the PSP, but this seems more appealing.

    Controls are more precise, expecially with a dualshock 2 pad plugged into the pc. You can also have an arrow turned on to show direction your player is facing/direction ball is gonna go when passed which is helpful.

    There is no management side I have found yet. Would suggest football manager for psp though rather than champ manager as football manager is better(created by the original guys who wrote champ manager before it was bought out).

    The main thing they have kept in this game is ability to pick up and play. You can create a custom team and keep track of where they rank compared to the other 300 teams(according to the manual) in the game.

    yay looking forward to this, ill get it on way home if theres time. Most people seem to be giving it the thumbs up at the moment, tho i think it may lack depth but its cheap and cheeful so should do well.

    I just think that after a few plays when uve seen most of the teams and unlocked a few options ull have seen all there is too it and while some people will just want to dip in for a few mins here and there which is what sensi has over PES 5 etc its not going to maintain any long term interest, maybe i was just hoping for SWOS really who knows who cares

    Played it this morn, while its not bad.. It's never going to be good as THE swos of the amiga

    Dunno if its just me that has grown up, or the playabilitys not there.

    What I would really love to see, is a perfect copy of the amiga game, with updated names, teams, and a few more game types

    Bought it since I liked the demo, but having won a couple of cups I'm now starting to wain already. :S

    Need a few mates around tbh, multiplayer will be the strong part I think.

    For me, that was always what the main attraction was anyway.
