Available at the time of writing in 17 different guises, Club Football is a commendable new entry into the world of console football games that proves itself to be a good deal more than the marketing gimmick it first appears. The principles, whichever team-branded version you opt for, are inherently the same. You take the club you've picked through a domestic season, with the clear intention of filling up some of the empty spaces in the trophy cabinet. In doing this, you can use the game's player generator to put yourself into the midst of this team, and then it's down to action. And the action is good. Backed by strong in-game graphics, Club Football offers an enjoyable rendition of the beautiful game, which endears itself to a healthy, long term challenge. There are a couple of quibbles that temper things a little. The fluidity of the gameplay, for instance, is sometimes hampered by an over-insistence on a good animation instead of a quick pass for example, and there are other mild issues that slightly break up the flow of things. Yet considering the healthy state of the competition, with both FIFA 2004 and Pro Evolution Soccer 3 putting in strong performances, it's to the credit of Club Football that it does enough to make it well worth considering. As it stands, it's not the best title of its ilk on the market, but it's a good, promising debut. --Simon Brew

To be blunt, when you first play the game it's annoying, you need to learn certain things and it then becomes more enjoyable to play, but remember this is the first edition so it can't be perfect. Basically, dont use the run button till your clear. play it slow and build up your attacks and press the stick firmly in the direction your shot,pass,header is going THEN press the shoot,pass etc button. You need to practice at this game. It's not for fifa lovers because you cant pick up and play straight away and you'll have to work very hard to win three nil every game, but thats good! If you like the idea of making all your own build up play without fifa assisted skills then this game is for you. If not i wouldn't bother.
 Terrible football game October 19, 2003

At first glance this game looks ok. The passing seems slick and the sound of the crowd gives the game a quality feel. After a short period of time however you realise that this game is all image and no game play.
The player attributes are not realistic. It is particularly annoying when your pacey forward gets caught and tackled by some lumbering hulk.
It’s difficult enough to tackle in this game, without free kicks and yellow cards being awarded without a tackle being made. Furthermore you get subjected to an annoying video clip each time that you can’t skip. It’s here that you see how unrealistic the ‘photo realistic’ images are. Perhaps they’re developed using some really bad look-alikes.
The shooting is difficult to control. In fact I’m not sure how much control you really have at all. Despite steering the shot until the thumb stick nearly comes off the shot inevitably goes straight for the keeper.
If all this wasn’t bad enough, this game has hung on my Xbox three times since I started playing it, twice during matches and once building my footballing likeness (Perhaps my Xbox objected to my creation!).
If you want a decent football game this isn’t it. Save your money and wait for FIFA 2004.
Enjoyable.....ish October 15, 2003

Club football is designed for all those people who just love the idea of having there team under control, the problem is it just isn't realistic enough. I can't score from within the box but 30 yard screamers I can get 2/3 a game??? Footballers sometimes look like they would be more suited to the Ice rink (Especially the keepers). It just looks like it has been rushed out in to the shops to beat Fifa 2004 and Pro Evo III. An hour to spare good fun, but I don't think I will still be playing this game in 7 days. Wait for Fifa 2004.

This game is so bad its a joke the graphics are worst than anything on a psone no lie, the staddium and crowd detail is rough and bland and this goes for the pitch and players and this is on an xbox. The game plays so slow the controls are unresponsive, the gamplay itself is terrible which plays nothing like pro evo and is even worst than fifa.
