We can't think of a more complete package to spend our virtual pounds upon. [Issue#29, p.116]

It just remains for us to say, if you’re looking for a quality title to download, go with SWOS. It’s the sensible choice.

The best sports game on Xbox Live Arcade. [Feb 2008, p.103]

The inclusion of online features add even more longevity to the game.

Were it not for the online issues – and we pray Codemasters fix these sharpish – SWOS would be getting a 9/10 if not more. As it stands, we’re going to cop out and give it that annoying almost-amazing score.

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.

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

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.

Sensible World of Soccer is a timeless classic that has not lost any of its magic through the times.

Simple, down to earth footballing fun.
