Visually, the game doesn't look quite as nice as other Game Boy Advance games, but it is on par with the other football games available for the system. The camera offers a slightly tilted side view, which gives you a good view of the players around the line of scrimmage. The players themselves don't have a great deal of animation, but there's enough detail to allow you to tell who is who and allow the players to perform victory celebrations after every play. Off the field, the menu screens and quarterback introductions are very slick, and they seem appropriate to the Disney theme.
Iconic passing and magic items are a nice mix.
The audio, by contrast, is somewhat lacking. It's not bad by any means, but the peppy music and pistol-fire sound effects can only carry the onscreen action so far. As a Disney-themed game, Disney Sports: Football begs for the inclusion of actual character voices or music from any of the company's animated features.
In the end, Disney Sports: Football holds its own compared with the other football games that are available for the Game Boy Advance. The absence of a basic team-building mode, a few minigames, or at least some other method of drawing out the overall replay value is really the game's only significant shortcoming. Otherwise, it's an immensely fun product that should appeal equally to beginners and experts.
