Academy of Champions: Soccer for Wii

I am a huge fan of soccer and have been playing in house leagues for the past 6 years. When this game came out I was a little worried if it would be too comic-like and not challenging enough.

Academy of Champions: Soccer is aimed directly at the preteen set and has a focus almost evenly split between soccer-school social life and booting a ball around on the pitch. But even though it's more of a shallow role-playing game based on the beautiful game than a full-fledged arcade sports game, it does a good job of playing to the Harry Potter fan base with a fantastic world that replaces magic with soccer.

Bottom line is that this game is very cool and has a decent replay value, 7/10 rating by me.
