A quick and succinct synopsis of this cartoonish soccer game from MobyGames:: “Action soccer is a quick and uncomplicated soccer game with two different graphic styles (2D overview and 3D isometric). The 16 teams have 6 skills like speed, strength, shotpower etc. [The game offers no realistic factors or rules such as] offside, fatigue or tactic. You can play a friendly game, the UBI-Cup, a championship or a tournament. In few options you can change the weather (sun, night, rain, snow) or little tactic (offense, defense, normal). Worth mentioning is also the funny audio-commentary from Jonathan Pearce and the editor.” All in all, this “light” soccer game is worth a look if you prefer arcade-style games with little regard to actual rules or realism. But even as a pure arcade game, Action Soccer is inferior to Sensible Software’s beloved Sensible World of Soccer series by a longshot.
