Released: 1992
Kick Off is a sports game that was released exclusively in Europe.
+ Includes a HUD view of your teammates' locations, enabling you to make more intelligent decisions in the passing game.
+ Ability to swerve the ball in mid-air is reminiscent of Sensible Soccer (1992, Amiga) and makes for some creative striking.
- Blistering game speed and tough-as-nails CPU A.I. make this one of the harder NES soccer games to get to grips with.
- Opponents always seem to be closely marking your players, so finding open space for a break-away is a rarity.
- Useless teammates have a tenancy to wander away from the ball, while your goalkeeper loves diving the wrong way.
- Overall presentation is dull, and the lack of crowd noise makes each match feel like it's being played in a church.
