LEGO Soccer Mania

LEGO Soccer Mania is football in the world of construction toys, where minifigures take to the field and play with each other. The campaign is built around the “World Championship”: you need to complete matches, assemble a team and get to the main cup. There is no realism here, but there is enthusiasm and recognizable LEGO humor. The plot is played through four characters, each with their own character and abilities, so the choice of hero affects the style of play. Among the opponents there are not only regular teams, but also unexpected opponents, and some matches turn into tests with special conditions. The design of the stadiums is varied: there are about two dozen thematic arenas, and each looks different. In addition to the campaign, single matches and a two-player mode are available, where you can arrange a small tournament right behind one screen. It’s especially pleasing that the matches are short and understandable: a child doesn’t have to understand tactical schemes, but an adult has something to remember. Humor and references to the designer add charm, and simple controls allow even a beginner to play. This is the right football for a family evening: fun, noisy and without too much seriousness. The game is designed for children and family playthrough: simple rules, short matches, no complex schemes. For an adult player, this is more of a nostalgic curiosity, but for a child it is understandable and fun football, in which you can feel like a coach.
