Soccer sims on iDevices
have been so-so so far, but First Touch Soccer offers almost everything the true fan could ask for. The game is challenging and well-paced, with terrific AI, impressive graphics, and (amazingly) a play-by-play/color commentating system that doesn’t get annoying. It’s as close to a console experience as we’ve seen on an iOS system. Additionally, there’s a headline feed of soccer-themed stories (which, sometimes, can be a bit much for younger players). There are also several customization options and a ton of teams, game modes, and other gameplay options. The interface is a bit busy, but in the end, this is a game that truly feels like a team experience — which makes it stand above most of its competition.
