Amazon.co.uk Review:
Sega Soccer Slam may mention the beautiful sport in its title, but you’ll not find any competition here for the FIFAs or Pro Evolutions of this world. This is pure arcade soccer: loud, colorful, completely unrealistic, yet soooo much fun. Gameplay is simple: three-a-side fast footie action. You can head, dummy, slide tackle, shoot, pass, and conjure some quite unbelievable super-special shots using button combos and shot gauges. The pace is frenetic, with most games being tense 9-7 affairs. The soccer action plays really well.

The game is similar in style to Virtua Tennis in concept, though a lot less serious. Modes of play are standard: arcade, tournament, quest, etc. Play out the quest mode and the similarity to the aforementioned tennis title is clear. You select one of six preset teams based on continent and elemental power. Fire, water, toxic, spirit, electric, and ice form the special powers that each team can unleash on the pitch.

Teams are taken on in a round-robin style league with a special challenge offered to you after each match. The challenges are fun and in the style of Virtua Tennis--complete each one and you’ll be given cash to spend in the shop, where you can purchase kit upgrades, new grounds, game artwork, and more. Win the leagues and you'll be able to unlock extra hidden teams. Other game modes allow you to create a personalized super team and unlock more characters.

The game's graphics are excellent and each player is instantly recognizable with great animations and detail. The stadiums are well animated and the sound effects are vibrant. The game oozes Sega quality. All in all, Sega Soccer Slam is ideal for those less serious sessions and for pick-up-and-play gaming. --Laurent S. Hall

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best soccer game for the cube
When I first play this game, it was on a video game shop.
I start playing it and it was fun, but later I could not stop!!.
the game is a blast!!, every soccer team has his own abilities, and what I like the most is when your player jumps in the spotlight, and the game goes in slow motion, then the ball goes like the bullets on the matrix. I ordered this game to my uncle, and I can't wait to play it again.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fun but not enough to unlock
This game is very fun but when you win the season all you get is the stadium you've played in the championship.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Soccer Game Ever Made and That Will Ever Be Made
Sega Soccer Slam in all its glory, is a game that successfully throws out anything that would make a sim soccer experience fun and ingeniously rebuilds there own versoin of soccer that's part Matrix,NBA Jam,Bruce Lee and even throw in a dash of cartoon network. In a nut shell, Slam includes 6 teams with their own strengths and characteristicaly developed players and pits them against each other in a quest, exibition, or tournament game. In a quest mode game, you can buy items to give your team an extra umph in style and skills. If you enter a tourney mode match, 6 teams hold a five game tournament for the tourney cup. There is a practice mode that sets you up in different situations that teaches you about every skill you will need to know to be successful. And there is always an exibition match where you can just have a quick game against an opponent. With the lack of modes in Soccer Slam comes the biggest part of the game, the amazingly addictive gameplay that will have you yelling and holering after every play. The feature that sets this game far away from a sim game or even Blitz or Hitz is the "Killer Kicks" shots and "spotight shots". To get a killer kick you have to fill up your meter by stealing, hiting, shooting, passing, and dekeing. After your killer kick meter is full, you can let it rip, the ball will fly into the air and it becomes a toss up between teams, if you manage to get in the circle that apears and to press the shoot button, your player jumps into the air and the game goes in slow motion, your player does a crazy siccors like kick that when connecting to the ball, the game sets back into reality speed and the ball goes streaking through the air with a look similar to the bullets in The Matrix. Now the spotlight shots are a little different from the killer kicks, to get a spot light shot you have to get the player, with the ball, into a randomly apearing and moving light that shines on the feild. If you succeed in doing this, the spotlight will follow your character, if you hold the shot button your character will do one of several amazing kicks while going in slowmotion, until his or her foot connects with the ball and sends a cannon of a shot through the feild. On top of all the awesome kicks is the super powers that each team has. For example, el fuego turns on fire when you use their specail power, and when toxic uses theire's you can see the player's skeletal structure with radiation exerting from the ball and player themself. With the lasting impression that this game has left on me, I now know that a game does not need modes and unlockables to be superior, but just good old fashoined gameplay, what games used to only be. If my thoughts on this gem have not persuaded you, god have mercy on your damned soul.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Unique
He's driving up the sidelines, quickly traps the ball in his feet and jumps over the defender, sends the ball like a bullet over to his teammate, the player heads into a stadium spotlight, OH MY GOD is this guy casting for "The Matrix"? Anyway he's doing flips in the air, he rears back to shoot, AND HE'S SUCKER-PUNCHED WHILE IN THE AIR! He goes down hard, with the other team in control of the ball, and goes on fire! He charges up the field and tackles some skinny guy that has sparks of electricity coming out his ears. A wrestler from Mexico gets control and shoots from midfield...HE SCORES!
End Score: 16 El Fuego, 14 Electra.

A normal "Sega Soccer Slam" match.

If you didn't get a clue from what you just read, this game is out of whack. In a good way. With six three-man one woman teams. Actually you can't tell what the frigg the goalies are because they have heavy body armor on. As I said before, this is one messed (but cool) game. It provides with more fun then some bestselling games that I will not speak of or everyone on earth will be out to get me. This game is almost like NHL HITZ 20-02 because of the three player action. (The goalies can't be controlled, but they're good enough.) And to clear things up the guy that went on fire was really a skinny girl with strange hair. And fire is El Fuego's natural power. Electra uses bolts of electicity. A team which its name escapes me has poison. Overall, this game is new and exciting.

Anyone will like this game. Buy it for all ages.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Unatural game for unatural fun and gaming
It's in your face fun. A three on Three battle with a soccer ball. A game this unusaul but fun is only seen in SSX Tricky and NBA Street. Nothing is like a spotlight beatemup kicking game. Just play and play and you can't stop until your friends go home. When you buy this you'll play then when you stop then you thank everyone. Then play
