The unofficial sequel to Kick Off 2, created by the original developer but under a different publisher. This title went head-to-head with Sensible Soccer. On PC, it’s known as Dino Doni’s Goal!, while it’s Dino Doni’s Soccer! on the Sega Genesis.
It keeps everything that made the Kick Off series a hit: “intuitive” controls (depending on who you ask) that take time to master, blistering speed, and now adds a second zoom level for the camera (wide view), the option to play with either the classic vertical perspective or a horizontal one, and of course, even more advanced techniques for scoring increasingly spectacular goals.
Around thirty European clubs are included, featuring the real player names of the time. As for the difficulty, it’s highly adjustable—so much so that I managed to win a match. Outrageous!
