Game Play

What sets this soccer game apart from all other sports games is its innovative control scheme. You use the joystick to control your player's movement. Kicking the ball is not done with buttons instead, a kick pad, located on the bottom of the cabinet and in the shape of a soccer ball, is used to determine the ball's movement and speed, depending on how hard you kick the pad.
