My Initial Thoughts on Soccer/Football Mania

Whew, this place has collected a lot of dust! I haven't had much to say, but I've finished Lego Soccer Mania now, and I figured I'd give my initial thoughts on it. It's by far my favorite of the three Lego games I ordered, so it shouldn't have been surprising that I finished this one first. Jamessterv2 had told me it lacked difficulty, and he was mostly right; until the last world. The first three worlds aren't very difficult, but the last world is another story. It's quite a fun game even so. It's very fast paced, the only times you are halted are when somebody scores a goal or halftime comes in. I also like how they made each of the power-ups useful in a way, unlike most other games where some power-ups are completely useless. Now, they aren't blanced in power (coughrocketballcough), but they're useful, and that's all that matters to me. The controls work perfectly and I never had an issue with them. The music is mixed; some are catchy, some will drill into your head from their annoyance. I won't turn this into a full review, I'm just saying what I thought. The full review won't come until after Alpha Team, which I still need to play through, so don't yell "UMG WEN WIL U REVIEW EHT". Be patient, I don't want to review a game I don't have enough knowledge on. I have seen a certain other irate (hint hint) reviewer do it way too often, and the outcome is horrendous.
