Academy of Champions: Soccer isn't an under-the-radar title that's going to make a big splash amongst the gaming community, but it has come directly from out of left field. This is a happy surprise for folks who have grown jaded at the attempt of original third-party IPs on the Wii which seem to be effortless shots in the dark at a quick buck, but with AoC:S it shows that there was actually a bit of care put into the title. Even though it's no showstopper by any means, it's a competent attempt at a decent children's sports title that exists on the mediocre plane outside of a few dips and rises between great and poor pieces."
