Kick Off 97 Item Preview. EMBED for wordpress. Fast forward in time did you see the edges of the page go all wibbly there for a second?

The view is not-quite-top-down, it shows more of the pitch, the ball moves about within the view rather than staying almost exactly mid-screen all the time, and the straight top-down viewed football game is no more. Kick Off has struggled ever since. They've tried side-on views, they've tried all sorts, really, but no one wants to know. Everyone else has motion capturing nowadays - whether you actually want it or not. Strangely enough, the original version still has its devotees, but these people are viewed in much the same way as those who recondition penny-farthings, and ride about on them shouting "Mountain bikes?

Twenty-one gears and a comfortable seat? Who needs? Give me a bike with no gears, that's really difficult to get onto, and when you do your calves burst, and the saddle gives you haemorrhoids that are the size of beach balls, any day.

All the mountain bikers then just laugh up their sleeves and bounce about on their lovely worth of suspension-tastie frames. Fast forward again and it's today - half past nine in the morning, to be exact And Kick Off 97 is now here. It's motion captured and uses the obligatory 'real' footballers that do so much to make us buy a game. In this case, though, they're Arsenal footballers. Insert boring game joke of your choice here.

And really, it's all right. The fast pace of the action makes it difficult to pass defenders by twisting and turning and is in that way somewhat reminiscent of it's pinball-like ancestors. At this point, we come to Kick Off 97's artificial intelligence, or rather lack thereof. Particularly awful is the way in which I can only assume the lesser teams have been handicapped - for example, Faroe Islands versus Brazil Faroe striker approaches the penalty area, he draws the keeper out, he goes round him, he dribble the ball towards the goal, then towards the far post and then past it and over the goal line for a goal kick!!!

Then later in the game, a Faroe midfielder has the ball, unharassed by any Brazilians, just inside his own half, so what does he do? He passes the ball back to someone just inside his own penalty area who in turn passes it back to his goalkeeper, who promptly misses the ball completely and an own goal is scored!!!

Then there's the bug where, World Cup final style, there is a disputed goal, except in this case the ball does cross the line but the keeper pulls it back across and no goal is given!!
