Abstract

What could be more fun than a high-stakes video game version of the world's most popular sport? Well, make the players and settings out of LEGO pieces and things start to get kind of interesting. Assemble your squad from groups of Martians, pirates, cowboys, and other LEGO favorites, and choose the story-based Adventure mode or the soccer-intensive LEGO World Cup mode. There are 23 themed stadiums to compete in, and up to four players can get in on the action. Hey, where else are you going to find firefighters playing soccer in the Wild West?

Full description

Everyone likes soccer, right? And everyone also likes LEGO building blocks, yes? Well, the time has finally come to combine the two and create the most dizzyingly fun sports experience known to gamers. Anyone who's familiar with the wide world of LEGO is sure to appreciate the inclusion of dozens of characters from the annals of LEGO history; Martians, cowboys, pirates, and other wacky personalities will serve as the soccer players, and you can customize your team by selecting whichever ones you want. The settings are also widely varied, with matches taking place in snowy valleys, medieval castles, on mysterious islands, outer space and more. Ten stadium environments in all ensure that the gameplay will never get stale, and there's plenty of territory to explore when you aren't scoring goals or making diving saves. It all makes for an odd combination, to be certain, but that's what's so fun about it. Play alone or link up and take on a buddy.
