Gameloft have a solid history of getting big names to use in their mobile games, Gerrard, Viera, Cisse and now Samuel Eto'o.
After achieving huge success with Real Football (the world's best-selling football simulation mobile game), Gameloft is now taking on street football with an extraordinarily talented player on its team. In 2006 alone, Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o, 26, was named the third best FIFA player, Spanish Liga's best striker, and Man of the Match in the 2006 Champions League final. A compassionate man, Samuel Eto'o is also a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) ambassador and president of the foundation bearing his name, to which all proceeds arising from the rights conferred under this contract will be donated.
Gonzague de Vallois, Gameloft's Vice President of Publishing, said "Samuel is the ideal partner for our street football game. He is an exemplary champion, also known for his strong character and ability to earn respect on the field. Players of our Ultimate Street Football will appreciate all of Samuel's tips scheduled to be featured throughout the game, and will feel more motivated than ever to become street football champions themselves."
The Barcelona striker added, "I'm very happy to be associated with Ultimate Street Football ??????? a game that promotes football as a spectator sport. That's exactly how I view it- my objective is to win by having fun and pleasing the fans."
Ultimate Street Football promises to offer a user-friendly game offering four-against-four matches in an urban environment. The action is faster, and the fluidity better than ever. Players can perform incredible technical moves just by using their thumb, and put on a real show to impress fans. Ultimate Street Football aims to be the most sensational street football mobile game on the market.
Looks like the EA vs Gameloft battle for mobile supremacy rages on...
