The world's first multi-player robot football game is set to launch
exclusively in the UK in time for the lucrative Christmas market.
Dubbed
Mr
Soccer, the hi-tech football game features radio-controlled robots. Players
manoeuvre the dribbling droids forward, back, left and right, and shoot to score
more goals than the opponent.
Mr Soccer ships with two robots, pitch, balls and goals but according to
Firebox.com, which will be
selling the game, footie fans will not need Roman Abramovich's riches to augment
their robo-squads.
Additional Mr Soccer robots can be bought individually allowing gamers to
play up to a seven-a-side. With 14 robots on the pitch the game is frantic but
great fun, but one-on-one is just as satisfying with intense competitive game
play, the gadget retailer claimed.
Once the game gets underway the robots compete amid a cacophony of electronic
crowd noise. There is even a warm-up arena to help the robots train; simply flip
the pitch over and the robots run around a special maze or compete one-on-one in
the sumo ring.
"The agile androids come in England and Brazil colours, so you can make
'Micro Owen' or 'Roboto Carlos', and are surprisingly nimble with the ability to
spin 360 degrees. Each R2D2-esque robot comes complete with a variety of
different sized boots to cater for different skill levels," Firebox.com stated.
