PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Street Power Soccer focuses more on fancy footwork and style rather than traditional gameplay, but doesn't live up to what it alluded to. It offers multiple modes, although some of them are lackluster compared to others. Matches feel very short and some gimmicks don't feel as prominent, but at least the soundtrack is really good.

Street Power Soccer is still plenty of fun when it comes to the game mode that best suits its moniker. Those who want to enjoy a little slice of NBA Jam-style action could do worse than checking out Street Power Soccer, but those after something more substantial might find it wanting. There's potential here, but a little bit more sustenance within its secondary modes would go a long way.

It’s nice to have an arcade alternative to the street approach of this sport, but its good intentions never materialize. Unfortunately, there are too many issues that get between the player and the gameplay.

This is not the street football you are looking for.

FIFA Street, this ain't. Street Power Football is nothing more than a series of mediocre minigames, and none of them feel even remotely like you're playing football. Add less than stellar animations and a steep price tag, and you'll realize Street Power Football just isn't worth your hard-earned money.

Street Power Football is also sold almost at full price, and therefore we are forced to advise against buying even the most curious and irreducible of players.

I wanted to like Street Power Soccer, but I just couldn’t. The jerky animation, unrealized art style, and generally wonky gameplay are not compatible with this sport’s fluid energy. I’m not mad about freestyle soccer whatsoever, so you may find more to like if you are into it. Just don’t expect the new FIFA Street.

Street Power Soccer's fancy footwork can't disguise its soulless gameplay, complete lack of challenge, and an entire pitch of technical shortcomings.

Street Power Football has a variety of modes and courses in which to play them, but with no real tournaments and unsatisfying gameplay, it's hard to find any enjoyment in it.

Street Power Soccer lacks the street cred it really could use because as it is, there is little incentive to keep on playing. It doesn’t help that despite nice animations, the game’s overall appearance is so last generation. Local versus and co-op play lift spirits a bit until you realize that there is no real content to anything as the matches are over so quickly. There is also a very rudimentary online option but I couldn’t find any opponents whenever I tried it. It tells that Street Power Soccer is practically dead on arrival.
