Soccer Kid isn't the only platform game in which you play as a footballer, wielding the football as a weapon. It is, however, the best of the tiny species. Enter plot stage space; aliens have descended, attempting to steal the precious World Cup. In their vast incompetence, they crashed whilst fleeing, causing the trophy to smash into smithereens... or at least enough pieces to place in each foreign country we visit for us to track down. Recovering them entails collecting 11 Player Cards per segment, while we are further rewarded for executing fancy footwork ball tricks.
