Goooooal America
SCORE: 79
At first glance Goooooal America looks like an
overhead soccer game. The thing is the players in Goooooal America do
not move around the field. Instead they are like planets with gravity.
Players will pull back on one of the players and then fling the ball
down the field. The ball can then orbit or have its trajectory altered
by the gravity of players it passes.
The goal of Goooooal America is pretty simple - win the games. This is
performed a variety of ways - usually by scoring the most goals.
Goooooal America has a number the two teams are working towards. There
is one player and one computer controlled character. Goooooal America
would be great for multiple family members at the same time, but the
Nintendo DSi version does not include that.
There is no defense that players can mount. They have to wait patiently
for the opposing team to score or make a mistake. The bomb game play
mode is interesting. Players can only hold the ball for so many seconds.
Then it becomes a bomb and will explode that player or another hapless
player off the game play board.
Goooooal America gets its roots from "An authentic simulation of a real
table-top football game, with players on springs, playing with a steel
football." It shows intelligence to bring this game into the digital
forum. I know it is a first for me, and I would guess for many of our
readers as well.
I like the different uniforms for the sixteen different teams from a
wide array of countries in Goooooal America. I also enjoyed the music as
I worked my way through the tournaments in Goooooal America. Find a shot
that works for you, and stick with it. That is my advise when it comes
to winning in Goooooal America. The twenty objectives in Goooooal
America are the hardest part of the game.
I love how Goooooal America teaches players things like angles and
trajectories. Goooooal America also teaches to do your best, and make
the most of opportunities that come your way. I hope to see more games
like this in the future. I would have loved to have been able to place
my players where I wanted them on any given board.
