The best I can describe this game is it's kinda like the Mutant League sports series on the Sega Genesis mixed with NHL Rock The Rink on the PS1, except the whole object is to either beat or kill your opponents while picking up and throwing the ball into their goal.
Here's the kicker though. You can either set the game to "weapons" or "no weapons." With weapons, you can get things like guns, grenades and chainsaws. With no weapons, it's just punching, kicking and lunging at your opponents.
The controls are pretty good. They're just about on par with EA's sports games. And since it was made in 1998 you'll also be glad to know that analog control is also supported.
The graphics are excellent for a PS1 title, imho. Of course, it still suffers from pixilated characters like every other game on the system. But the gameplay is very fast and smooth. Hell, there's even a Widescreen Mode for 16x9 tv's! That one took me by total surprise.
All in all, I think it's a worthwhile fantasy sports game to track down. So if you see at your local pawn or secondhand shop for dirt cheap don't hesitate to at least pick it up and try it.
...and if you're like me, then I'm sure you want to see a gameplay video. So here ya go:
Best 50 cents I've ever spent.
