(France have tried that, it doesn’t work.)

Instead you’re a chap with a football, which you use to destroy zombies. You stand in a fixed point on the screen and move your thumb to choose the angle, then let fly with your shot, with the aim of reducing zombies into blood and mush. If I were in the mood for inaccurate comparisons and I’d say that it’s Peggle meets Plants Vs. Zombies, but I’m not, so I won’t.

You can hold your thumb down to power up shots and sometimes use power-ups, but it’s all very repetitive. Not in an especially bad way, mind. The core game mechanics work well and the general presentation is absolutely lovely.

Pro Zombie Soccer

Kick ball at zombie. Watch zombie die.

There’s nothing really wrong with it all, so far. The only trouble is that it seems far too easy to leave the game and a bit too hard to come back to it. Maybe it’s all the other gaming goodness that’s surged over the iPhone like a tidal wave over the last few days, but I keep forgetting I’ve installed this game and when I do remember I play a level and then run back into the welcoming arms of QuickHook and Cubed Rally Racer.
