New Star Soccer 2010

The world of soccer is in a constant state of change, since good players come and go every season, while the teams change management regularly. There are those who have managed to maintain a steady career in the sport and continuously put on good performances, in order to earn their paychecks and please the fans that are cheering for them with every occasion.

New Star Soccer 2010 is a game that allows you to experience the thrill of being a professional soccer player, without having to worry about running out on the pitch for hours, or being rich. Thus, over the course of a lengthy career mode, you get to play for the best teams out there, improve your abilities and also manage the personal life of your character at the same time.

In the beginning, you must create your character and customize his appearance, as well as decide his strong points when it comes to skills such as passing, dribbling or stamina. You should pay attention to this stage, since it makes quite a difference to make sure that you spend the ability points in the right areas, otherwise you won't be able to prove yourself as an asset out on the field.

After you choose a club to play for and go on the pitch a few times, the first paycheck comes rolling and you are suddenly invaded by many problems that demand your attention. This is because the game also captures the personal life of the player, such as family, expenditures, training and even a girlfriend, to make things as complicated as possible. Naturally, it is your job to handle all of these things, since personal trouble is reflected in your career as well and you cannot perform at full potential when your life is in shambles.

As far as the graphics are concerned, most of the time is spent looking at statistics, playing training mini-games to increase your skills and managing your budget. However, when it's time to play, the game switches to a 3D view and you get to manually control the player out on the field. Although the models and the environments are very basic, the atmosphere is all that matters, as long as you are having fun.

New Star Soccer 2010 manages to captures almost every aspect in the life of a professional soccer player, which means that there's plenty to do and a lot of content to go through. You might stumble into the occasional bug along the way, but the overall experience is definitely worth the occasional inconvenience.
