I can't advocate that you should run out and buy it as the GBA version is probably a little better. But if you have a DS and want to see what the future of portable football has to offer, you may want to give it a shot.

Of course, this is only a temporary issue. There is a learning curve involved in figuring out not only how to attune your attention to the game but also in how to shift this from play to play. However this learning curve is far steeper than in other DS titles. But even the casual gamer can overcome this obstacle, given enough time. Beyond this issue lies a decent sports game. The graphics may be below-average, but the variety of modes and the excellent multiplayer offerings make this a worthwhile addition to any sports-lover’s portable gaming library.
