Got this game yesterday, it's pretty good. Much better than the previous installments, there's still room for improvement on the game in various areas, but it's not that bad. It's fun, and that's what counts.
Yup, I've had it on the Xbox since it was launched! Very very good, Sega have done a great job with it! Much more realistic than the previous versions anyway.
I think I just put to much power into my shots, and I hate waiting ages for all the reds to break up, so I just smack them... I lose alot of points doing that.
