This is my favorite game ever. In my opinion the best Soccer game ever. However, this game is not for everyone. Let explain. In Japan this game is a smash hit, the arcade game to be in the top ten for the whole year of 99! In 2000 its been in the top three! It got rave reviews when it was ported, 9,8,8,9 and all 9s from the Japanese DC magazine. Furthermore, it outsold Sony's much hyped RPG, Legend of Dragoon, in its first week of release by 2,000. Something like 175,000 to 173,000. However, in the US those sites who imported it hated it, giving it a 5.6,6.5 and a C-. This game is not very popular amongst American gamers who have grown too acustomed to Fifa. The game is very controlled. You can't change players, and you have three buttons, shoot, short pass and long pass. And 2 slide tackles. I love the game. If these things don't seem appealing... rent it first. Play it for a few hours straight even if you don't like it at first, it will grow on you. Watch.

Let's see who can get it right.

Well, I believe this is the best soccer game ever! Why? For FIFA or all the soccer games so far, you can always control whether to win or lose. That means whenever you are expert, you win. Try this game buddy! You'll know why people say that in a real soccer game, no one can tell who's gonna win! What I like about this game is that you are the one who's creating the move of the team. And! You can never be the one who can always win! A beginner can beat you even though you are an expert! This is a soccer game from the real soccer field! You'll know what I am talking about when you get to play. Besides, playing this game with friend gave you tones of fun! 3 buttons make the controlling simple, BUT gave poeple a lot of creativities when they play. Try it(rent it), you'll love it! You'll experience the excitement of soccer!

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!

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.)

On the contrary of common misconception, this really is one of the best soccer games on the market at this point. Some people are just mad because the players don't have instantaneous response to the beckon of their mashing of a particulatr button. I hate to break to all of you button mashers, but that's not real life. Basically, for all of you that understand the concepts of physics and know that there's going to be a delay in response of movement, you will really love this game as i do. I won't lie to you though. The game is quite a challenge at first. If you can tough out the first couple of outings, you 'll begin to see it's finer points and start to enjoy the game.

best graphics out there but gameplay falls short

I'm a true soccer fan and have played all the FIFA series. the graphics and the realism of players'movements in VS are just the best out there. The best are the replays that I saved, just look so real with multiple camera angles. And fifa can't compare with VS in these aspects. But the gameplay and control can't compare with FIFA as in previous comments although I got more and more into it after a while. I just bought Striker pro 2000 and returned it because of bad graphics although better gameplay and control. this one looks more like 2D and the players have no skill moves just spin 0-360 degrees to turn. I think the best soccer game would be one with VS graphics and FIFA control. Overall I still like VS than any soccer game out there right now because the realism rules and I got better control skills when keeping playing. And the challenge really makes you feel you're in a real soccer game when there are missing shots and passes and the opponents are tough.

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.

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
