It plays a lightning-fast, ultra-competitive game, and the statistics are unbeatable in their completeness. [Oct 2007, p.96]

One of those rare gems that stands the test of time, thanks to its near-flawless gameplay. And while the temptation must have been huge to overhaul the game for the next-gen release, it’s great to see that the SWOS developers didn’t cave to it. While the game may not be the prettiest game on the Marketplace, it’s certainly one of the most fun.

Unlike most sports games that feel dated and tired years later, this one holds up quite well. It’s simple and fast, removing two of the hurdles many people find with the sport of soccer. The game also features an admirable amount of depth for a game that can be played with just a d-pad and the A button.

Sencillamente el mejor juego de futbol de la historia, solo comparable con la saga Pro Evolution Soccer de Playstation **** pasa el tiempo por el, es un juego de culto y atemporal. Sus graficos muy simpaticos no envejecen mal.

Lets face it this game has stood the test of time. Ok the graphics are not great, the team names are all wrong and you have to check out the player stats by checking friendly match teams in order to buy in career mode. However this game is still just as addictive as it always was, the gameplay is fantastic. Sensible world of soccer was one of my all time favourites in the 90s and the revamped 2007 addition does not disapoint. There just arent any other football games out there nowadays that really piss you off when you know you made a mistake and also have you jumping up and punching the air when you score. For anyone who enjoyed the original this game is a must. Be warned though its just as addictive if not more than the original. Would recommend this game.

Simple, down to earth footballing fun.

All minor gripes aside though, SWOS remains a triumph of playability over tedium and proves the franchise is still a strong contender for the greatest football game of all time.

If you spent hours of your childhood playing SWOS, you won't be disappointed with this updated version. With all of its original features intact and the addition of online multiplayer, there's plenty of depth here for those who are willing to devote time and practice.

The fast pace, aged artifacts, and new online multiplayer functionality might make Sensible worth a peek for the curious, but only the truly devoted will even consider purchasing it. [Feb 2008, p.80]
