Sensible Soccer 2006

Anyone Who Had an Atari ST or Amiga back in '92 played Sensible Soccer - it was the best footy game by miles (anyone who says it was Kick Off 2 should leave the room immediately, or things really will kick off).

Top-down camera, after-shot swerve and lift of the ball by whichever way you moved the joystick, plus miniature comedy players that you could name as your friends and family - Sensible Soccer was brilliant My mum in goal! It was hilarious. Honest Sensible Soccer 2006 is last year's remixed version, overseen by Master Sensi himself Jon Hare, featuring new cel-shaded graphics, but the same top-down, no-faffing-about football silliness.

This is what you used to call "pure arcade action" - fast and simplistic but an absolute riot in two-player, although you have to plug in an extra joypad as, scandalously, there is no online multiplayer mode.

PES 2008 is the best PC football game out there. But for a fiver, Sensible Soccer 2006 is a cheap laugh. Just bring along a mate.
