"This arcade-style, top-down soccer game -- complete with a theme written by Captain Sensible of The Damned -- was justifiably loved by a large percentage of the Amiga population all the way through its ill-advised 3-D iteration in the late '90s. Because the Amiga was especially coveted by Europeans, the pinpoint-accurate gameplay and significant amount of customization in sequels led to an almost unrivaled soccer experience. Only Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer came close to "getting it." The influence of Sensible Soccer can still be felt in today's perfectly controlled arcade soccer games. We presume the makers of Electronic Arts' FIFA series have toyed with Sensible Soccer at least once." - Simon Carless, Wired
