Fish Soccer proves fish don't have hands or soccer talent

I'll give credit to the Fish Soccer creators for going out on a limb. It's always nice to see a fresh, absurd concept in a game. The idea of two fish playing soccer on a submerged soccer field is one of those ideas. Unfortunately, something is lost in the implementation of such a promising premise.

The biggest issue: the physics are such that it really should be called Fish Air Hockey (heck, that might even sell) as the "ball" acts more like a puck in that game than anything seen in Pele's game. There's also a rippling effect intended to remind us that this is all taking place underwater, but instead it is annoying and distracts from the game.

It takes more than a wacky concept to make a fun, fresh game, and hopefully more fit and finish will be part of the next title from the Fish Soccer team.

Here's a look:
