F.A. Premier League Stars 2001, The is an officially licensed soccer video game released for the Nintendo Game Boy Color in 2001. Developed by British studio Tiertex Design Studios and published by Acclaim Entertainment, the game was based on the English Premier League and featured all 20 teams from the 2000-2001 season.
The game includes three gameplay modes: Exhibition, Season and Cup Mode. In Exhibition Mode, players can choose to play either a friendly match or a tournament match against any of the 20 teams in the league. In Season Mode, players can select one team to manage over a full season and compete for the title of Premier League Champions. Finally, Cup Mode is similar to Exhibition mode but with an added cup tournament featuring all 20 teams competing to become champions of England.
The game features a top-down perspective with simple graphics and animations that are typical of early Game Boy Color games. Players control their team on an 8x8 grid that is made up of squares representing different types of terrain such as grass, dirt, mud and water. Each type of terrain affects how the ball moves across it in various ways – grass gives more control while mud makes it difficult to pass or shoot accurately – so careful selection of where you move your players is important for success.
