Play Premier Action Soccer Online

Premier Action Soccer came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, published by THQ. It was one of many sports titles on the system, arriving during a period when developers were still figuring out how to translate the flow of a full field soccer match onto a small, portable screen. You could tell it was trying to capture that fast paced energy in your hands.

You control a team of eleven players, switching between them to pass, tackle, and shoot. The main goal is to outscore your opponent within the match time. A couple of its defining mechanics are the through pass, which sends the ball into open space for a runner, and the ability to perform sliding tackles to dispossess an opponent. The game moves quickly, and the difficulty can spike, especially when the computer decides to press high up the pitch. It feels like a scrappy, condensed version of the sport, where a single mistake often leads to a goal at the other end.
