If you’re a football fan who enjoys playing the game then you’ve probably sat at home watching Sky Sports and thought to yourself “If only I was a football superstar.” At the start of 2008 that’ll become a possibility if you own broadband and a PC. The opportunity is coming in the form of Football Superstars, a unique MMO experience that ties together football, second life and reality. The game is being developed by CyberSports and they are hoping to grab gamers with their new take on the football video game. There is a previous preview of the game on the site, which can be found by clicking this link.
Details and specifics were quite sketchy when the previous preview was written but that’s because the game was in early stages of development. The game’s premise is that instead of controlling a team of players, you control a single man / woman. If you find yourself accustomed to playing a wingback then the option is there. If you wish to be a golden boot winning striker then your chance awaits. There are a variety of sided matches, ranging from 3 to a full 11-a-side match. The system is taking teamwork to a new level and it’ll be interesting to see if people actually stick to where they should. The promise is there but unless the football side of gameplay is solid, the game could be in rocky territory.    Character Renders Football Superstars isn’t just restricted to live on the pitch (as its name hints). If you’ve grabbed sight of Second Life or even Sony’s Home system then you’re on the right track. The game is promising to recreate the glamour and fame of being a world class footballer with shops, hotels, restaurants, shopping centres all available to peruse. You’ll get to experience the highs and lows of being that special man so often idealised on TV. Complete customization is offered and you’ll get to live the footballing life you’ve always wished to.

Malcolm Clark, the CEO of CyberSports leant these kind words about the game;
“Game-play and realism are revolutionary. Playing in and against teams of real people is simply the right way to play a football game, and the MMOG platform is perfect to bring like-minded gamers and football fans together. Football SuperStars will be a totally immersive football experience combining the most realistic football matches ever played with a true lifestyle environment for the budding superstars to explore and show off their trappings of success and become famous.”
The game’s looking like its coming along nicely and closed alpha testing is about to begin. Be sure that any fresh news will be reported here as soon as it arises.
