IMG_0083It’s rare that I come across an app or game so bad that it’s nearly unusable…but Real Foosball is simply horrid. The controls are horrible, the physics are weak, and the game as a whole just needs to be avoided. Enough said. Read on if you must, but the bottom line is that Real Foosball feels like an unfinished, barely functional prototype.

I absolutely love Foosball in real life, so I was excited to try Real Foosball. Instead, I was greeted by a maddeningly confusing, muddled mess. “Real” Foosball is anything but realistic. Let’s begin with the touch control scheme, which works by moving your finger over the rods. When using touch controls, the rods move too quickly, jerk around, and often snap back to their original positions when you let go; meanwhile, the animations flicker confusingly.

The other control option is motion controls, which suffers from an opposite problem: it’s excruciatingly slow. On top of that, there isn’t any calibration option, so you’ll need to tilt your iPhone at ridiculous angles (often losing sight of the screen!) in order to play with motion controls.

The game, of course, works like any normal Foosball game; you can set the number of goals necessary to win, and then it’s a simple battle to see who scores the goals first. Here’s a hint: given the control scheme, it will probably be the computer. There’s no original twist, no gimmicks, no added features to try and make the game more exciting or long-lasting.

IMG_0082Graphics and audio are merely mediocre; the menus in particular show a lack of attention to detail, and the fonts and colors used for the text just scream “I’m unfinished.” And as if I needed more evidence of the developers’ carelessness, there’s no save or auto-resume function. Accidentally hit the home button? Congratulations: you’re back to the start page with no records of your game. Not that it really matters; after all, there aren’t even local leaderboards or a records page, so who cares if you were doing well?

Under normal circumstances, an app like this wouldn’t even warrant a review. But, hey, might as well warn you folks, right? Do you wallets a favor, and stay away from Real Foosball. Sometimes I wonder if Apple’s review team will ever stop blocking things like Google Voice and get rid of games like this instead.
