Chop Chop Soccer 4+

Difficult to control, and flicking the ball into the goal is a 50/50...WHEN...the ball is actually released when I flick. Otherwise, she just wanders off to the side. But in all honesty, I only tried it less than a minute...barely enough time to master it.

Maybe its psychological. In real life, I always ran from the ball when it came to me. Hey! Don't laugh! Those balls are hard against frail fifth-graders. Plus, it gave the other kids an excuse to deliberately kick me in the shins, even when the ball was clear across the field. *shudder*. Teachers didn't care. It just gave them a chance to look the other way. Complaining to the principal just got me thrown out of the office. I HATE being a gym teacher!

Four stars for benefit of doubt. Otherwise, it would be two stars, if the problems were without doubt on their end, and not my shortcomings.

Good graphics, I have to admit. Download. You might like it. After all, these chop chop games ARE better than their competitors. And it's not their fault that I'm a geek.

I was wrong, CC Hockey is superior in my opinion (naturally because it costs a dollar when this is free). Although the two games look exactly the same, the gameplay is a little different. That being said, the first thing I noticed is it's too easy to steal the ball which makes navigating the ball through the field a bit more of a challenge (this being bad varies to the gamer). The major issue is it's near impossible to make a goal. I can't kick from afar because the defense or goalie will block it and if I get too close, the goalie will steal the ball. Another flaw is none of the rules of Soccer apply here. If the ball goes beyond the goal, the goalie will just teleport to it and if the ball goes to the sides, it just bounces off an invisble barrier and the players can go past it too so there might as well be no line. The game is solid but there's just too many minor issues to get a 3/5. After 5 minutes of sudden death, I just gave up on the game and went back to playing Hockey.

This application could do with some additions. I personally got it because I thought that it would be as nice an app as Chop Chop Ninja, which has brilliant graphics, is easy to use, and is very original. This game however lacks those things. In comparison to Chop Chop Ninja, this game is pixel-y, harder to follow and use, and is kind of generic in terms of soccer games. I think this would be much better if it did not insist on making the soccer players 3D, and instead switched from the game to things like off-sides/penalty kicks where that would be a small game in the game, or a chance to be the goalie, and had the option to edit players/teams. This is a fun game, but not really up to snuff when compared with the excellence of Chop Chop Ninja.
