If you don’t find them funny, or they get on your nerves after a while, there is an option to turn them off. These are, in fairness, pretty funny, and add a bit of humour and character to proceedings in a way that makes you wonder why Sensible didn’t come up with it themselves: for all the cartoony nature of its graphics, Sensible Soccer always seemed to take itself very seriously. To the untrained eye, the two look virtually identical, particularly in play, and indeed the game was briefly pulled from the shelves after a threat of legal action.ĭevelopers Croteam, of Serious Sam and – latterly – The Talos Principle fame apparently then released the game as freeware, although if that is true I can’t find that version anywhere, and of the two downloads I sourced, neither had the copy protection removed, so if you want to play you’ll need a scan of the manual.įootball Glory is probably best known for being a Sensible Soccer clone, and for the addition of a number of amusing interludes, including streakers, dogs and peace protesters on the pitch, ridiculous goal celebration animations, and interaction with the referee, including the ability to chase him after being shown a red card. There’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the leading games in the genre, but Football Glory is a lot more directly ‘inspired’ by Sensible Soccer than, say, Sensible was by Kick Off 2 or any other top down football game. Plenty of space for the Coventry number 3 to run into.
