another cool Imagine game, but not the best...
I'm a huge fan of the Imagine games and have everyone of them and have pre-ordered the ones waiting to be released and I can say this may have not been on of the best, but it was far from being the worst.
In the game, you are the captain of a soccer team and it's your job to lead your team to victory. The game-play is good and you can choose the difficulty and length, in minutes, of each game before you play it. You can also design the uniforms (shirts, shorts, logos, socks, shoes and accessories) and the physical traits (hair style and color, eye color, skin tone, names etc.) of your character and of each teammate. Also, as you progress through the game, you accumulate fans and sponsors which, in turn, allows for more shirts, shorts, etc. to be unlocked.
I read in another review that this game doesn't promote teamwork and I would have to disagree. In the game there is a teammate that is a snob and thinks she is better than everybody else, but the way the game deals with this situation is having your character and the other teammates strive to work together and tries to include the other girl, even though she doesn't want to participate, the game shows this as being wrong and that teamwork is the way to go! If anything it does the opposite of what this other reviewer said. I'm glad the game developers show kids an example, with this snotty girl, of how not to act and how they reinforce teamwork through the actions of the other teammates and the coach. I wish there were more games like this considering the world we live in today. There's no violence, nasty words, nudity, etc. and if seeing a girl who thinks she's better than everybody else, acting snotty and not wanting to play on team, is the worst things my kids see or hear, I'll get on my knees and thank God! If your a girl and a soccer fan or know one and love the Nintendo DS, this game is the way to go!
Great for girls who love soccer
I bought this game for my 9 year-old daughter who loves to play soccer. She really enjoys playing the game. She never gets bored playing and loves that it is a game for girls where things can be somewhat customized. It is definitely one of her favorite games.
Not what we expected
Our 9 year old daughter was thrilled to see the "Imagine: Soccer Captain" game on DS. She's an avid soccer player; and the features of the game sounded great. However, some of the kids on the game talk really snotty and rude. This game doesn't demonstrate teamwork and positive feedback, as the kids today are being coached in real life. We were very disappointed and finally had to turn off the game because the words in it were not sportsmanlike at all. I now see on the box that there's "mild language". Rather than this being fun and exciting, the girls on the team have poor attitudes--they need to talk more "teamwork" and less being snotty. As my daughter says, "we don't want kids to talk so snotty". Save your money and pass on this one. The idea of this game is great; if only they'd remove the words.
