It’s a game of two halves – one on the train and one on the bus!
Take each game as it comes!
E3, LOS ANGELES, 17 May 2005 - Do you know how to caress the football and pass it with precision? Do you defend as if your life depends on it? Do you score goals for fun? Can you pile up the points and win medals in Challenge Mode as reward for playing quality football? Are you ready to show off your ball skills in Exhibition Mode? Will you claim the silverware in Cup Mode? Are you the footballing legend that you think you are? Prove it...
World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition offers you the chance to prove you've got the skills to match the world's best. Choose from over 200 club and international teams each with fully licensed player names and likenesses, and attempt to take them to cup glory. The better you get, the more chance you have of unlocking new club sides, special teams, extra stadia and cup competitions by achieving success in various game modes.
World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition encourages you to take your skills out to the wider world. By using the Ad Hoc wireless mode you will be able to challenge other PSP owners in the nearby area to a game; bragging rights in the train carriage are up for grabs!
Challenge mode is great if you only have one PSP and a large group of friends. It's not about scraping a lucky winning goal, it's about winning in style! The better your skills the more points you can score. Points are awarded for fabulous footwork, sharp shooting, pinpoint passing and dogged defending. Set your score
against the 'AI team' then let your friends have a go to see if they have what it takes to beat your score and reach the top of the league.
If you've watched the football over the weekend, and are fed up with your team's performance, what better way to pass the time on the way to work on Monday morning? Just pick up your PSP and re-live all the action. Be the playmaker, scorer and the keeper to ensure your team does, for once, what you want them to! Just make sure you don't get too carried away and forget you're on your way to work rather than at the Nou Camp!
