"?? MYSTERY BAG ??" review - Part two of eight
You want Freak on a Leash in your intro? Your search is over.
Look, I don't know anything about football, and that will become abundantly clear as I review this game. I like Taito's Football Champ/Hat Trick Hero and Monkey Football in Ape Escape 2, but that's about the extent of my appreciation for the sport.
My primary point of interest is that Sunsoft had some involvement with the production of this game. They made Hebereke on the Famicom, you know. How did they get here? Maybe I've been too quick to dismiss Puma Street Soccer. There's some outside chance of seeing overhead birds taking swirly dogshit dumps on the players.
The big thing I like about Puma Street Soccer is how limited its commentary system is. Any interaction with the ball comes with a one-second low bitrate transatlantic comment. Like a Cary Grant HitClip. "Great move!" "Don't let him get away!" "What a skill!". It's kind of a shame when a genre is so dominated by two competing franchises, the wartier outliers get totally forgotten, but charity shop bargain bin fodder doesn't often come as amusing as this.
You fumble around for a while, not knowing how to play a football game, and then the "Super Shot" comes in and knocks you sideways. Somehow, players can make a red energy bar come out of their kicks, and the ball goes double the speed. I don't know how you do this. I did not receive a Puma Street Soccer manual. There is a "CONTROLS" option in the pause screen, but it simply lets you decide which controller will operate either team. Super Shots are a mid-game surprise, akin to Aerith's death.
Despite the high-energy, no rules version of the game that's being portrayed, I don't think there's a tackle button in Puma Street Soccer. I don't know how to get the ball when the other team has it. I was just trying to stand in the middle of their passes.
In fact, I don't know how to do anything in this game. All my shots go well over the goal, and the opponents just keep kicking at my goalie until they get in. I'm being made a fool of. One of the victory celebrations is the Ally McBeal oogachaka baby dance though, so that picked me up.
After what feels like all fucking day, my game ends.

Goodbye from the timeline of events in my life, Puma Street Soccer.
