Game Zone by Michael Lafferty

"Since EA (EASports in particular) has some knowledge of creating soccer games, there was some anticipation in how the game would be translated to the world of Legos. Ok, even the manual states that the game is loosely based on the sport. Each team has six players, the action is fast, there is no out-of-bounds, other elements that slowdown the pacing of the game have been eliminated, and the keeper area is protected from intrusion by offensive players. The ball can also bounce around like a ping-pong ball, bounding off players and goal posts. The game also has an arcade-style set of power-ups to ensure lively game play. Player movement has been kept simple.

"Like much of the Lego world, this is a game that should be particularly appealing to younger players..."

"Graphically the game lives up to the Lego standard. The environments are fun, bright and colorful. The animation is also well done. The sound does a solid job of supporting the graphics. The control elements are kept relatively simple so that younger gamers can play.

"When it comes to actually presenting the game of soccer, this title is merely average. The game lacks the sports fundamentals and nuances that make the sport so exciting. There are no age parameters stated on the game's box, but this game was built for a younger crowd who simply wants to play and enjoy, with little regard for the game's intricacies."
