X-treme Beach Soccer

Pro Beach Soccer includes a Friendly mode for quick fix games and an Arcade mode that pitches you (and up to three friends if you have a Multitap to hand) against a series of increasingly tough AI opponents. For the ultimate challenge, try the Pro Beach Soccer Tour - an epic competition that spans three seasons. Can you make your way to the top and then stay there for the duration?

Once on the pitch (well, beach), it's all about skill and style. With pick-up-and-play controls, you'll be winning the crowd over in no time. Dribble past opponents, flip the ball up and then hammer it home on the volley.

The beautiful game takes on a whole new guise in Pro Beach Soccer, Wanadoo's addictive summer sports offering. Licensed by the Beach Soccer Association, the game features some of the sport's brightest stars, including Eric Cantona. In contrast to your more traditional footy match, Beach Soccer is played with two teams of five (four players plus keeper per team) on a sandy beach. The soft surface means that the ball is airborne far more, which in turn allows for big showboating moves like overhead bicycle kicks.
