It's obviously not the first time that a sports figure or an athlete give name to its own and personal video game. Real Madrid coach, José Mourinho, will also have a video game copyrighted with his name: "Mourinho Special One", which was also developped by the Portuguese company, Biodroid and have a release date announced to January 2012. However, it's this new Cristiano Ronaldo video game that is sparking a lot of interest among football fans, as well as in those who appreciate everything that is made available for Apple's iPhones and iPads.
In a quick attempt to describe "Cristiano Ronaldo Freestyle", we can say that it is more of a rhythm and dancing game, where the user is intended to play at the sound of a background music and on-screen commands. We'll list below some of the features included in this game:
- There are 5 gameplay modes to choose from:
Hype Endurance: The user can perform hype tricks, while he juggles the ball to get the crowd's attention as quickly as possible.
Time Attack: The objective is to obtain as many points as possible in the period that the song lasts.
Freestyle Battle: You're asked to compete in a 1-on-1 situation.
Don’t Drop the Ball: As the name implies, you're asked to keep the ball far from the ground.
Freestyle Showdown: You're granted 15 seconds to show your best moves.
- You can unlock and obtain a lot of cool stuff to change your Cristiano Ronaldo character, like making him wearing different shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses, shoes or force him to use a new hairstyle.
- Shuffle Mode: An option to randomly pick a different level in the game.
- Play soccer in "samba-style": A very nice feature that allows the user to play with Cristiano Ronaldo, while he dances to a Brazilian beat.
