Championship Foosball
SCORE: 36
I played foosball for hours as a kid. We
would stuff a coat in the goals so we did not have to keep paying for
the one ball that came out of the machine at school. We played foosball
for years, and had all kinds of different competitions. Good memories
dudes and dudettes. I thought Championship Foosball on the Wii would
help me relive those wonderful memories.
I was wrong. Championship Foosball is horrible. It does not look that
great. It does not sound that great, and it controls like a brick. I did
not expect the finesse of a foosball table in Championship Foosball on
the Wii. But with a Wii Remote, and a Nunchuk Championship Foosball
should be able to simulate the table game adequately. Championship
Foosball can not even do that. How did 505 Games stay in business after
this stinker?
On the easiest setting I scored all the goals against the computer. The
problem is I scored more goals against myself thanks to the frustrating
controls. Why can’t one controller be used for the front and the other
be used for the back? Championship Foosball makes players constantly
swap, and use certain buttons to move the sticks up and down. It is
difficult to adapt to the controls.
I bought Championship Foosball for three dollars at a local gaming
store. I should have known there would be serious issues with this home
console video game. I can forgive the lack of modes. I can forgive the
lack of 3D, and poor looking graphics. I can forgive the quiet gaming
atmosphere. I can’t forgive Championship Foosball for its poor controls.
Families will get frustrated and angry in the real world thanks to
Championship Foosball on the Wii. Pass on this game at any price. Trust
me on this.
