Pure Futbol uses five-on-five soccer in a style that's reminiscent of EA Sports' FIFA Street series from years back. Shots leave smoke trails behind them, there are over-the-top dribbling moves, and crosses send the world into a slo-mo mini-game of sorts. Depth is added to each of the two shot types in the game thanks to a meter that must be charged to a point before releasing the button at exactly the right moment. The mechanic is fine, but it totally zaps the user's ability to aim the shot. No matter how hard I tried, whenever I perfectly hit the timing of the shot meter and landed a "pure" strike of the ball, my control was totally eliminated. The same goes for lesser shots that don't quite land in the "pure" section of the shot meter.
