Title
Fantastic name, and a really great piece of interactive entertainment, it makes use of a really creative looking first person perspective and makes it into a 1v1 match of football where you can guide a floating ball and shoot it, or tackle it from your opponent. The physics in the game are very lofty and follow some odd laws of magnetic forces, but that brings a consistency that's charming of the game. It truly shines when you play it in two player, although there is an AI option available.

Great soundtrack too, I hear it has a solo that is completely improvised by the computer and it never sounds the same for any playing session. I heard Pat Metheny once comparing its style to John Coltrane's playing.
