Sensible Soccer kicks off on XBLA Europe August 29th

On August 29th, 2007, retro soccer fans who are privileged to be Xbox Live subscribers will have the opportunity to re-live the glory days of a legend in video game sports. Sensible Soccer, originally developed by Sensible Software has been announced as an Xbox Live Arcade release and is available for 800 Microsoft Points.

Sensible Soccer and its successor Sensible World of Soccer were deep, fun football simulators that often topped the charts in their respective eras. The series was the first to bring together a comprehensive lineup of leagues and teams which made the experience all the more enthralling at the time.

It might not be getting an overhaul, but maybe it’s because the game holds itself up even after a decade. The old-school charm is hard to resist when you see the familiar eagle’s view and the unrealistic physics engine. It’s a pioneer by all means and is worth revisiting any day of the week.
