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

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.

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!!
