Cons
Con Hard soccer buttons
This game features four different games. The soccer game is actually very hard to control with only two buttons for two people. I mean, how can you shoot a ball with two soccer players rotating and press the button to run and kick the ball. Seriously.
Con No cloud saves
There is no built in cloud save, meaning users cannot pick up where they left off on a different device.
