I wonder how many times Diego Maradona dreamed of being a world cup soccer star growing up. I mean, anyone who plays sports in their youth generally aspires to be a legend in their game of choice. Becoming a professional sports player sure is an accomplishment, however, becoming one of the greatest of all-time is no small feat.

Diego Maradona achieved every child's dream by winning the FIFA World Cup in 1986 against West Germany. Within that game you can find what is dubbed as the goal of the century. Maradona essentially gets the ball midfield, and terrorizes West Germany with choreographed precision, as he navigates through the defenders like Simon Cowell's contestants on America's Got Talent. This, no doubt, earned him the Adidas Golden Ball (MVP); which awards the best player in the FIFA World Cup Final.

There's no question there's space for this game, and thanks to GameArt, we have Deigo Maradona Campione. This game is more welcoming than most. The colors are vibrant, animations fluid, and the sounds kind of pumped me up a little bit. Auto-play is spot on, and the golden "buy bonus" coin feature, left of the slot, seals the deal for me. The bonus is triggered with 3 scatter symbols that award 12 free spins, and re-triggers the same way. Within the bonus, wilds are sticky, and the lines pay both left-to-right and right-to-left. This machine is on my good side for now, and likely a major player towards the top of my lineup.

Some say Diego Maradona is the best that will ever play the game; which comes with good argument. But it really depends on who you're arguing with. If you find a level headed, non-bias individual, that is educated enough to make that decision; you're going to hear something that shouldn't surprise you. You can't compare Maradona to Ronaldo or Messi. Why? Because the game was completely dirty in the era of Maradona. Officials barely cared about safety of the players back then, and certainly didn't throw around yellow cards because they got breathed on wrong. Some might say, and I hate to say it; that our professional sports have gone "soft."
