Umbro XIII Indoor Felt Football

Umbro boots are so comfortable - until they fall apart!

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Durability

Background I have been doing football coaching now for almost four years and in that time, I've had several pairs of boots from all the leading sports manufacturers. Although I don't play competitive games, it is still important to have the right footwear as I will be spending roughly 3 hours per week in these boots during training and on the touchline during matches. These were the first pair of Umbro boots I tried after using Nike and Adidas in the past. The boot in more detail First impressions were that the boots were very well made. I was sceptical about having white boots as I was expecting them to have gone a nice muddy browny white colour after a few uses which to my surprise, never happened as the boots cleaned nicely just by wiping a wet rag over them. The boots were very comfortable to wear ...

Review of Umbro Revolution XII HG Football Boots

Not the best of recent of footballs

Advantages: Better leather than previous Umbro balls.
Disadvantages: slow punctures,goes flat quick.

My main point of view is I found that this new ball by Umbro to be a bit of a let down once again. The problem with all umbro balls is they are very prone to slow punctures,and once again it hasn't let me down . Within two weeks along comes another puncture. It doesnt seem to matter how expensive the ball, although with Umbro they never seem to have very expensive footballs in the first place you just cant get much usage out of them. For some bicular reason I think they cut corners when it comes to the making of them, maybe using the same technology for the inner baloon that they have always used or maybe I am wrong, but either way it seems to be an ongoing problem with Umbro and there football and because of this I needed to buy a new football once a again. Dont get me wrong I wont ever stop coming back and buying a new Umbro ball ...

Review of Umbro Dynamis Direct Football

The XIII-Files

Advantages: Comic style graphics, challenging, decent game duration
Disadvantages: Incomplete story, load times on lengthy side, an average FPS at heart

of flashbacks for story - not being able to skip these sequences on retry. [-] Stealth style stages - starting these sections several times, and the level loading times are a tad lengthy. [+] Being able to eavesdrop on conversations and hear folk singing! [-] X marks the spot? David Duchovny voices XIII (whom you control) - "you can trust no one" - but isn't really given a great deal of dialogue to sink his teeth into. [+/-] How challenging a level is can depend on the distance between checkpoints, and as this differs, XIII's difficulty can fluctuate. XIII has three difficulty levels but regardless it can be a challenging game, despite some of the hand-holding - what with the pointers and action button taking care of things. [+] Game is of decent duration - 34 single player levels, and the boss battles are no bad. [+] With the bots, the single ...
