The worst soccer game ever. Do not throw your money away!

The VS Dreamcast version is far away from the one we can play in arcades. The players do not really do what you want at all. Controlling and passing is very bad, and, the teams have nothing to do with the reality. Do not get surprised if you are playing with Brazil (a top team) against Jamaica (one of the weakest) and this "lazy" team scores easily and quickly a hard trick. Before purchasing VS2 I was doubting whether to buy this game or Striker Pro 2000 from Infogrames. Now, I know that the "Info" guys will certainly not be able to make such as bad game, even if they do their best to do so. The only acceptable thing: Graphics, which are very good. But, thanks, I rather enjoy a videogame by playing it than just viewing it graphics. Now I'm purchasing Striker Pro 2000 and will make the comparisson. PLEASE DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY! There are thousands of videogames better than this one!

Good but hard game, worth buying

Virtua Striker is not a bad game. The Graphics are well polished and fun to look at. The gameplay is challenging to say the least. But since of the diffculty whenever I get lucky and score a goal i jump up and down with joy. I think a lot of people don't like this game because it is harder than Fifa and Iss. Instead of just jamming the turbo button to blow by everyone like in Fifa you have to string clever pases together and aim your shot instead of just pressing the shot button. The only downside is there is no analog control. With many modes of play i have had this game since march and i am still not bored. Beware before buying though Virtua striker is not your typical soccer game so dont expect fifa 2001 out of the box. Virtua striker is to fifa what Showtime is to NBA 2k and Blitz is to NLF2k, so have fun with it soccer fans or at least to another decent soccer tiltle comes out on DC.

Ok Game

I have owned most soccer games that have come out, anmd this is by far the worst. It just is not fun. Atari soccer in 1977 was better. The Dreamcast is more exciting off than with the game going. I do not understand how the great game of 'calcio' can be made to be so unentertaining. Stay away from the MLS Gamenight also, for you have no control of the shot, and every shot goes high or wide, plus both games do not feature real players. Stick with FIFA. Games this bad cause hooliganism!

WHERE IS FIFA ON THE DREAMCAST?!?!?!?

Virtua Striker 2, although a brilliant game graphically, blows the big one once you start playing. The abscence of the turbo button, a camera switch, and being able to score really adds to the boring gameplay. If you score, you might as well have beat the game because you get the ball intercepted in a snap . The players look good but thats about it. Gameplay ... ..its boring...and as a soccer fan I love a good soccer game and I will ususally play an outdated one on psx for the heck of it just because I love anything that has to do with soccer. But Virtua Striker 2 just is not soccer. WHERE IS FIFA??? I LOVE THE FIFA GAMES FOR PC AND PSX BUT WHY NO FIFA 2001 FOR DREAMCAST?? I guess I will have to grit my teeth until a good soccer game comes to DC.
