Horrible game play. You pass the ball to someone on your team and he stops moving to the ball. It is so difficult to maintain possession of the ball yet the computer seems to be able to do it.I don't like the fact that you have to acquire power before a shot on goal. By the time you do this the computer has already taken the ball away. FIFA '98 on Nintendo 64 is a lot better.

RIP OFF!!!

Yeah, this game looked exciting when I first bought it. You don't use the analong stick, but the control pad. I first ignored the ignoring of my forwards stopping when I kicked the ball into my opponents half. Plus you can't dribble in this game, you're forwards are really slow, the upside is you're defenders are pretty fast though !!The defenders will steal the ball from you if you hold it to long!! Then you can never tell where the keeper is if you have a fastbreak!! Then once the computer gets a cross in the middle they mostly score!! So don't let the computer run down the side or they'll score on a very good-looking header or bicycle kick. So DON"T GET THIS GAME unless you're some kind of collector trying to collect all the soccer games for systems!!

Games like this NEED a minus star feature!!!

Virtual Striker is possibly the worst soccer game of all time and it is a shame that the Dreamcast has to lay claim to it. There is no redeeming quality for fellow soccer fans and nothing to make it even worth a rental.

Go get UEFA DREAM SOCCER it is way cool and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than this excuse for a sports game. My thats a lot of zeros.

Poor Performance, By Sega

Teh graphics are great, and the......, well that all that is great about this game. The controls you learn to deal with the lack of commentary as well, but the increible good al or computer player will drive you crazy. I find myself only playing the two player mode. It's arcade hertiage really hurts the game, but if you like soccer as much as I do then you just have to live with it till something better rolls around.

this game is garbage

Guess I have been spoiled by the EA FIFA series, but the gameplay and options in this game are awful compared to FIFA. There are only 32 teams available, the players are IMPOSSIBLE to control, and the game's artificial intelligence works spectacularly badly. If you have money that you don't know what to do with, give it to charity, not to the people who gave us this tripe. I love footie, but this game does a disservice to a wonderful sport.

I bought this game thinking, can't go wrong with soccer. Guess what, you can. I too may have been spoiled on the FIFA series, but it's a shame FIFA isn't coming to the Dreamcast any time soon.

What are the problems? Where should I begin... the worst problem for me was the lack of a player switch control. That is, you have to go with whoever the computer thinks you should be controlling at the moment. You can't choose which player you control.

Secondly, and almost as big of a problem, is that the stick isn't used at all! The D-pad just doesn't give the precision that you need to play soccer.

Also, the graphics are pretty amateurish, as is the sound.

Nice pace of gameplay, though. I do like the speed. But that's about all I like about the game.

Please improve the games

World Wide Soccer 97 & 98 for Sega Saturn was classic games for a person who really knows about the game of football. So when the Dreamcast came out, I rushed to buy the system thinking Sega Sports was going to give me something even better than the soccer games for Saturn. I was wrong, had to return the whole system and the game. Virtura Striker 2 is like going back in time, way back. Graphics and realistic play are non-existant for the Virtura Striker 2. I have a few little things they could of done to improve a top of the line game like World Wide Soccer, they could of added Italian, Americian, German clubs, added snow, and also more countries.The makers of the new soccer game should of also made it possible to trade players and also made it possible to role play thus enabling the player of the system to control the player of their choice, and last of all improve on the graphics which should be done on all new video games.

Awesome

This game is an amazing soccer game because you are in total control of the players i.e. instead of automatically receiving the ball when you touch it to the next player, the next layer has to go get( which is you controling it.)

I've played a million soccer games throughout my life, and DC is definitely the most advanced system I've ever played on. So, I'm really amazed at the lack of options in the game overall and especially the control of players. I can't believe you don't have the option of manually switching players - this really hurts a game that had a lot of potential. It seems like everytime you're headed towards the ball, the computer switches your player before you can get to it. You can't even use the goalkeeper unless its a penalty kick or free kick. Unbelievable! But, if your into graphics - this is the game for you.

thanks~~itz cool
