There are some interesting animations however, such as bicycle kicks and ball maneuvers. The arenas include a city street, the docks, the airport and a parking lot, and there is one hidden arena. As if it wasn t a surprise, the arenas are all average as well. One thing I did slightly enjoy was the crowd waving their team s flag about, but the rest of the crowd is your typical bobbing up and down animation bit. My final bitch is regarding the oh-so annoying screen that pops up whenever there is a kick off or a goal.
Control is fairly easy to adapt to, due to the small amount of buttons needed.
Pass, shoot, slide tackle and give and go pass are all there really is. One thing that annoyed me was the inability to switch what player I was controlling. This means that the computer decides for you what player you control, however you are automatically given the control of the player once he gets the ball. Sound effects are average too, there is no crowd chanting however. Puma Soccer features a line-up of teams from around the world, just about every country that plays soccer is here.
