Freestyle might be the most disappointing game mode. You score points by performing tricks, which boils down to timing and pressing a correct button, with perfect timing giving bonus points. Yet I must admit that I had fun in Panna when playing against friends.ДЇreestyle reminds me of Dance Dance Revolution.

The same as with Trickshot, Panna is just a mini game. The one who scores the most QTEвЂ™s, scores a Panna.

Once initiated, you must perform a series of perfectly timed quick-time events, together with your opponent. A Panna can be initiated once you fill a meter. Scoring a goal earns you one point, performing a nutmeg, or Panna, earns you two. Panna pits you in a 1v1 situation, where you must be the first player to score five points. Panna seemed the most interesting game mode out of all four, even this game mode turned out a glorified mini game. As you cannot move your player, and only aim and shoot, Trickshot quickly deteriorates into a boring mini game. Curving the ball or bouncing the ball between a wall and a target, scores you bonus points. You aim with an arrow and power the shot by holding a button: the longer you hold, the harder you shoot. In Trickshot, you must hit as many targets as you can within a time limit to score points. The three game modes, Trickshot, Panna and Freestyle, are all basically mini games. Perhaps the other three game modes could save Super Street Football from missing an open scoring opportunity. Instead of fluid football, we get quite the opposite: a slow and sluggish experience. As a game that wants to show us the world of freestyle football, known for its quick-paced, almost fluid style of football, Super Street Football fails to show that style of football. And that option is so reliable, you can score time and time again without much effort. Your players also seem to be unable to put any speed behind a ground pass, making a pass through the air the only reliable option get into a proper shooting position. The animations and reaction time of the tricks are so slow, so sluggish, not even the worst defender would be fooled.

A trick should dazzle your opponent, allowing you to get past them. Tricks, flashy passes, superpowers, consumables to temporarily boost your player, it seems a mixture that would, or even should, work perfectly. Teams of up to three players play a match of street football against each other. Most reminiscent of Fifa Street is the Street Power mode. Super Street Football is an arcade style football game with four different game types: Street Power, Trickshot, Panna and Freestyle. Sounds like an open goal, let us see if they can put it in the back of the net. Super Street Football seemed to be cut from the same cloth: Street football with a focus on freestyle tricks and over-the-top superpowers. A game I still cherish from my childhood, as there was very little more satisfying than performing a beautiful nutmeg on your opponent with a perfectly timed trick and scoring an absolute belter with a superpowered shot. An arcade style football game, a genre that has not been done properly since the amazing Fifa Street.
