Sensible Soccer 2006 demo News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC PlayStation 2 Xbox

Available on Eurofiles.

Codemasters has released a PC demo of Sensible Soccer 2006, which is due out on PS2, Xbox and PC from June 9th.

Aaaand good news (for us anywho), it's launching exclusively on Eurofiles. You can download it now. Using the internet. It's 112MB.

The demo features England playing Argentina, and obviously we're already playing it in the office. Chris just scored the most outrageous bending left-footer.

Which is nice. As is the game, as you'll know if you've read our 9/10 review, which went live a few days ago.

Anyone know if it's compatible with the 360 controller?

The worst thing of being one of the first in line is seeing how there's only one seed .

MisterFalseName: I'm downloading it and could send it to you if you wanted or host it elsewhere.

Well, I say "downloading" but it's pretty darned slow right now.

Thanks for the offer Rez, but seeing as I've already got the PS2 demo I guess I'll wait.

Looks a tad rushed and unfinished, tbh. Let's hope the full version plays better... otherwise it looks much closer to 7 than 9 to me.

How much did they pay you for that review?

The game plays like a half baked shareware version and its so god damn SLOW!!

Megadrive version will always be the best version.

I really like the demo (apart from having to restart it each game.) It's just all-out fun with fast gameplay to keep the old spirit alive.

Play.com are pre-ordering at �14.99 so I reckon it's well worth it by the looks of it. Like Rockstar's Table Tennis, I don't see it as a premium-priced game and therefore it's preceived value increases. �15 is a bob-on price for a smart-playing game.

Aye, well said. However, I think I'd rather get it on console as it looks as though hot mulitplayer action is where it's going to excel; where you can get a game going in around thirty seconds.

Promising demo, had a few fun moments in each match. Only scored on rebounds though. Needs more polishing, of course.

For those who find the game slow, reduce the graphical settings.
I set it to 1600x1200 and it ran like treacle, then I set it to 1024x768 and it ran like the speedy Sensi of old. I think the game is set up not to drop frames, so will run slowly instead of jerky if the PC doesn't have enough punch.

Ooh. Beautiful little demo. Reminds me of the Sensi of old, and that's high praise. Going to have to pick this one up, I think - probably for XBox, though. Bit crowded getting 4 people around a PC!

Just wish the demo would let me alter the difficulty a bit so I could see what sort of challenge it can really offer up

Wow, now there's a game that's messed up on my graphics card!

Guess it's Xbox version for me, then!

The camera feels a bit frantic in the beginning, but you get used to it. Compare it to taking a rollercoaster ride twice in a row. First time, it's frantic and quickly over. The second time, you know the track and it feels longer and less frantic.

ive been playing the demo for xbox and its great fun. They should give the players this kind of control over passes and shots in PES (or not)

Try turning down the graphics settings, or getting a half decent gfx card.

Brilliant game!

Demo wasn't slow at all, you've all either got Neo's reactions or the settings were screwed.

It was pretty tough at first, kept pressing the wrong buttons but once I got into it was great. Managed to lose to one of my mates and still haven't scored, hehe, but for 20 nicker it's an absolute steal I think.

One issue in the demo I had tho, the keeps seemed to warp... ie: they dissappeared and reappeared really quickly when they went to get the ball. Seemed to happen a little with sliding too, but I think it must have been a little bug.

i used a ps2 pad on the PC demo and the analogue control is great.

didn't have any slowdown problems at all, but my work pc is pretty damn fly.

they have to do a handheld version. wifi multiplayer would be ace.

Pc version looks to be very badly optimised, works realy slow on anything around first gen 2ghz and lower.

I've been looking forward to this for ages but my first impressions have been tainted by sloppy programming.

I use a PS2 controller on my PC and even with the rumble feature switched off in the settings the game still rumbles the pad and then leaves it on rumble for the rest of the match.

I'm in two minds about cancelling my pre-order and waiting to see if it's a problem others get with the full release.

Havent preordered, but was also waiting a lot for this one. Now I'll just wait a little longer for responses for the full version.

its fine with the 360 controller except for the all too common lack of rumble. what a game tho, camera angle moves a little too much for my liking but i guess i'll get used to it or be able to change it in the final game.
