Everything from the initial cut scene lavishly created in full 3D video, to the submenu menu screens with simple, yet elegant color styles and spontaneous animation comes together in Disney Sports Soccer to produce an amazing appearance. The cut scene looks like something straight out of a Pixar film or a PS2 game, and features the Disney crew in cut shorts on green turf battling it out in true 3D motion on the soccer field. In-game visuals aren't quite so compelling, however they exceed much of the raw visuals found in other sports games for the Game Boy Advance. Mickey and his crew look as real as a bunch of make-believe, animated characters ought to as they run up and down a field dribbling a soccer ball, making goals and such. Character animations are frequent and excitingly unique throughout the game. I seldom saw the exact same celebration animation after scoring a goal.
A great, energetic musical piece loops throughout Disney Sports Soccer. It's fun enough and it is not overly obvious so the fact that it may repeat does not bother the game. Sound effects, however add nothing to the game. When a game presents so much visually, something as simple as lackluster sounds distract the visuals and tears the whole thing apart. The effects are nice and well placed, however given such incredible visuals, a little more time should have been paid to the audio.
