Actua Soccer 3 has to be my all time favorite soccer game to play. The graphics aren’t the best, but some of the game play options are way better than any soccer game before and some games after it. I love the custom team ability, it makes it heaps better, and all the different types of soccer you can play. My favorite part has to be the penalty shootouts when I’m the goal keeper or the shooter. The graphics are surprisingly good for such an old game and as a soccer fanatic I know anyone who loves soccer will love this game.
I just love everything about this game. The old school music makes it fun to listen to as well. The controls for this game are so easy to use, the first time I played, I could understand how to do it all in an instant. The play is easy to follow, because they use circles around the character you are currently using and they follow the soccer ball with the camera. The camera view has the ability to change in the options menu, along with your bench (subs) and player configuration on the field. This helps to provide you with a strategy.
When in offense, there are different ways to kick the ball, with lobs passes and goal shots and in defense, there
are normal tackles and slide tackles as well as a run faster key for both offense and defense. The goal keepers aren’t the best, but it just makes you play harder. The ball is easy to see, so you never get mixed up, which is different to most of the soccer games of the time.
I would suggest this game to anyone who thinks they are a soccer fanatic. It has all the best things you can ask for in a soccer game, even though it was made ages ago. I would give this DOS game a rating of 5 Stars for its excellent game play, its good options and some of its fun extras such as the custom team maker and penalty shootouts.
Actua Soccer 3 is an all-time favorite game of mine and beats any soccer game hands down. As a soccer lover, I have to say that Actua Soccer 3 is a must for any soccer lover or even any sport lover. If you like any sport game you will absolutely love this game for all the little things that it does. Easy and Fun to play, an all-round brilliant game. The best fun in the world to play.
