One Button Sports

Major developers sometimes surprise us with little jewels released with no buzz. This is the case of Namco's One Button Sports, a sports native casual mobile game. It's all about simple minigames you can learn in a few seconds and play for hours. Think of a sort of Wii Sports adapted to mobile, heavily focused on multiplaying, I'm sure you'll get the picture.

3D cartoon-like graphics and overall design is great, suited for all audiences. What it can make you nuts is the spiteful time system we are sadly getting used to: every time you perform an action, you have to wait 30 minutes or worse before that character is playable again. Yes, you can, and should, alternate between your different characters, but it's an annoyance that could have been easily avoided.

At the time of this review there are only two available sports, namely tennis and skiing, but we hope more are added in the near future, because they're very addictive and fun once you get how to move through the menus first, and how to play later.

In conclusion, a very recommendable game, more demanding than it may look like at first and not suited at all for non savvy mobile players, but an awesome and surprising time waster.
