    Xbox 360 Hands-On with Sensible World of Soccer

    There’s one name in videogame history that sticks in the hearts and minds of football fans like no other title, before or since – Sensible World of Soccer. Released in 1994 for the Commodore Amiga, it was not only one of the best sports games ever created but, according to any number of ‘Top 100 Videogames of All Time’ lists, one of the greatest titles in any genre.

    Combining the sublime Sensible Soccer football engine with a management system, the game was the first to feature every professional club and national team in the world as well as all of the correct names and hair colouring of each player. It was an astonishing achievement in its day and, even in these times of intricately-detailed character models it remains one of the most popular videogame versions of the sport anywhere. Now, for the first time, all Xbox 360 owners will be able to take to the leagues themselves as an updated version of the seminal gaming classic hits Xbox LIVE Arcade on December 19

    Dunno where that 1600 came from. All the news sites today posted it at 800.

    Tempest is coming too, keen to see how the 'Enhanced' mode stacks up to tempest 2000

    It is out! just downloaded it - thing is tho when you launch it, you are kicked off live and cant sign in whilst running swos... it reconnects when you get back to the dash, but just seemed strange

    dont ask me how it plays - I now have to head into the office... will give it a bash tonight :-)

    I am trying to think of something witty to respond to this.... The more I think, the more I realise I am thinking about you coming in your pants....

    I was going to download it tonight, but if I score from the halfway line it will be you I think of coming in your pants and not me doing it..........

    HELP!

    What were all basically saying here is screw Fifa 08 and PES08, we all want an Amiga port of Sensi Soccer
    Alien Syndrome would be nice too, maybe magic pockets, moonstone... the list is endless!
    Kick Off would be good too, someone has already mentioned good old Dino Dini

    Are we going to start a DF league?

    Another Question, can I plug my Megadrive Pad into the 360 like I used to into my Amiga to play it..

    There was another Amiga game where you started off as a little Robot and then took over larger ones. Cannot remember the name of it though..... Nor can I remember the point of the game but I loved it.

    *EDIT* Google is my friend! Paradroid

    Anyhow, my 360 username is in my Sig. I WILL be on Sensi tonight
