About this game

Kick Off 3 takes the series in a more traditional soccer direction, replacing the earlier top-down view, scanner, and fiddly ball-handling controls with a classic side-on perspective.

Game Modes

  • Friendly and league matches
  • The Challenge, a run through 30 teams leading to the Anco All Stars
  • A World Cup competition beginning with the qualifying rounds

Presentation and Play

The game features large, well-drawn players and animations for a variety of situations. However, its sluggish controls and slow player movement reduce the responsiveness needed for fast-paced soccer, making matches feel more difficult to control than to flow through.
