Developer: Ubisoft Vancouver; Publisher: Ubisoft; Platform: Wii. This arcade-style, high-energy soccer title is packed with surprises and over-the-top moments. It assembles a playful lineup of Ubisoft characters, including Rayman, Altair from Assassin’s Creed, Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, Jade from Beyond Good and Evil, and the Prince of Persia. Players perform jaw-dropping vaults and collect powerups that swing the balance as the match unfolds through a story-driven campaign, while a lively local multiplayer mode invites friends to join the chaos on the couch. The game uses the Wii MotionPlus accessory to translate precise wrist and arm movements into on-screen actions with noticeably improved control, making it feel responsive and accessible to players of all skill levels. The pace is brisk, the hits are big, and the celebrations are flamboyant, all contributing to a sense of spectacle that makes each match feel like a miniature show rather than a standard contest. The cross-franchise humor and the unlikely team lineup give the experience a distinct charm that can hook fans of any of the included Ubisoft worlds, while newcomers will enjoy a bright, approachable entry point into arcade sports. In practice, this title rewards timing, positioning, and playful improvisation as much as raw speed, and it invites players to experiment with combos and tricks that emphasize style over strict realism. The story mode weaves through a series of challenges that escalate in tempo and difficulty, providing a sense of progression as players unlock new characters and abilities, while the headline option of playing with friends keeps the energy high on home consoles. Powerups appear periodically to tilt the balance, sometimes granting speed bursts, others shielding teammates, and occasionally boosting shot power to surprise a goalkeeper. The overall package blends lighthearted humor with competitive play, delivering a wide appeal to families and longtime fans alike. RATING: 4/5
