Bad game

Doesn't play like real soccer. The graphics are good but the play is bad. Don't buy this ... game or you'll end up trying to sell it back!

Not Fun. Not Fun at all.

I had never played a bad Dreamcast until I played this horrible pile of stink. I'm sorry, that was rude. But it was rude of Sega to release this "game" on the unwitting public. This game is not fun in the least.

Real Soccer!

It is maybe not like other soccer game, which all the optionslike turbo and all that crap that helps you to play easier. VirtualStriker 2 is all about your own skills, how well you can play as a team (passing, fints, etc.). True, it's hard at the beginning, but with the time it gets easier. The graphics are good, there are no commentators. But overall it's a good game. Maybe the next soccer game, which is coming out in June is even better. END

Avoid this game!

This is the worst soccer game I have ever played. The control is really bad. When your player gets the ball the player "freezes" for about 2 seconds. Avoid this dog at all costs.

awsome graphics

Theres just one good thing about this game and that is the graphics which you should already expect from dreamcast other than that it's just like a real arcade game. If your in to that go ahead get it but I wouldn't reccomend it.

Oh, the sadness... whimper, whimper

*Sigh*-- with tremendous dissapointment, I have to say that the only real soccer title on the Dreamcast console is a terrible dissappointment. It just doesn't stand up as a game, with horrific gameplay absolutely killing any advance made in graphics for this system. Any soccer fan who was loyal to ISS or FIFA before jumping to the Dreamcast platform should NOT, I repeat, NOT, bother with this game... the worst sports title since Virtua Athlete. Oh, the sadness... Dreamcast, when will you find the soccer game worthy of your platform?

An Excellent Game

Based on some of the reviews for this game, I was a little leary about purchasing it. But my kids like soccer, so we bought it.

I'm not a big soccer fan, but I love this game and so do my kids. I think I like this game even more than NFL 2K2 and NBA 2K1 (Sacrilege, I know). The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is fast (although a speed burst button would be nice). Some reviewers have criticized the button configuration, but we haven't had any problems (of course my 7, 8, and 10 year olds catch on fairly fast). Others said the game wasn't realistic, but it's like watching a game on TV and the scores reflect this. So far, I haven't been able to beat the COM, even on easy mode, and I think that's another reason for some of the negative reviews (some egos have been bruised). There is very little commentary, but the incredible crowd cheers makes up for that.

Buy this game! It's great!

This game is tough to play as it is to play the real game.Talk about real soccer action,here it is,the whole nine yards.Outstanding graphics,real soccer fan chants,it's a carbon copy of the arcade game.Alot of gaming mags gave it low scores but I'm here to tell you there wrong.There just use to the easy FIFA series,where you can score 20 goals in about 2 minutes.The second you score a goal in Virtua Striker 2 ,you'll be screaming along with the game in excitement!I guarantee it.

You better rent it first

This game is frustrating, period. Maybe I just haven't figured it out, but I have NBA 2K and NFL 2K and I think those are the two best titles available for either sport. Basically the gameplay is completely different, and I would say much worse, than FIFA. Moves are limited, and its very difficult to figure out how to change players and how to control players. I'm not sure the graphics are better than FIFA either. Definately if you're considering it I would suggest renting first, otherwise you could be in the same boat as we are, wishing you could return it and feeling like you've just been duped.

Objectively: avoid this game...very very bad value!

Aside from the "cool" graphics, which by the way one should already EXPECT from a Sega Console, the game has NOTHING going for it that really renders it a good value for your money. As someone else mentioned, you CAN NOT use the Analog Thumb Pad. I personally could NOT believe this! Buying this game is going back all the way to the player control capabilities of the FIRST Nintendo. What's the point of the "cool" graphics of a high powered console like Sega, if you at the same time, have the control abilities of the first video game consoles? This makes no sense. Unless you want to control your players just like you did the FIRST Mario Brothers (remember that up/down/left/right cross?), and at the same time PAY for a CD, high graphic level game, then go ahead and buy Virtual Stricker. I personally recommend that you STAY AWAY from this game, and pay for something that is REALLY worth the cost of a console like Sega.
