The RPG section is far from complete in the version we've all been playing in the office, but judging by what Konami promise will be in the finished cart, it's going to be superb. Starting as a talented but wayward young hopeful, you have to improve your skills and impress the scouts enough to win a contract with a big team.
There are various training exercises you can practice to boost your rating in different abilities - for example, one exercise requires you to curl the ball into the net from increasingly more difficult positions. It sounds very much like an English version of the incomprehensible career mode from Perfect Striker 2, which is something we've been itching to get to grips with. In Tim's Perfect Striker 2 review, the one thing he thought might improve the game was the addition of a hi-res mode.
Well now we've got one, albeit at a very early stage. It's still a long way from being fully optimised at the moment, and there are some terrible drops in frame rate, particularly whenever the Sky TV swoosh happens before an instant replay, but don't worry - developers Major A pride themselves on the smoothness of their gameplay, and if they can't get a hi-res mode running properly, we won't be forced to endure it. There's currently an option to turn it off, but if it can't be done perfectly then it will just be dropped from the final version.
At normal resolution, it's a joy to play. There are a couple of new moves to be found, including a neat step-over, and some new animations. The stadiums are better than ever, with flags draped around the running tracks and fantastic video replay screens in the showpiece arenas. As far as we can tell, the players have the same set of skills as they did in the '98 version but the goalies have been vastly improved.
N64's office champion Tim actually had a little trouble in racking up his customary six goals against Martin. Hopefully we'll be able to get a better look at the RPG section next month. If medical attention is needed for an injured player, the ground's medical staff rush on with the magic sponge, and if a stretcher is needed that too, will. In all, there are more changes all for the better we might add in ISS '98 than Manchester United strip changes in a season - well, almost!
The best football game written for any machine -ever! Sheer soccer style that you'll be playing for years to come. Enhanced and updated from the original game, and now more than eve, the finest football game in the world. Because bending a yard free kick past David Seaman fills me with a wonderful sense of pride. Because with a little bit more time on the training ground, I might actually beat Tim without having to sneakily turn his goalie down.
Because it's the best football game ever. Football games? My thing, they are. But, I'd never played anything like ISS And, equally, I'd never played anything like this brilliantly improved sequel. It's the smoothest, easiest, hardest, fastest, most ingenious football game you'll ever play. On any machine. Get it in Don't let anyone tell you that there's a better football game than this.
As a sequel, '98 just gets better the more you play it. Love it. I'm rubbish at it - as Martin'll testify but ISS '98 is truly superb. Never has the feel of football been so accurately represented on a console. Question: Can you make your players 'dive' in ISS I've seen the computer players do It.
At first, the controls can get tricky. There seems to be a delay in picking the player closest to the ball, but you eventually don't mind that at all as the realistic animations attract your attention as do the great sounds this one offers. Expect a ton of options for your playing satisfaction. I've played both the Japanese and U.
I enjoyed the play-by-play feature that the Japanese version had, but it was taken out over here due to cost. If you like to color coordinate your team, you can even change the colors of your team's jerseys and make the shorts match. The game play is good, the players are large and there are lots of options.

Playstation 2. You don't have to tackle an opponent to gain control of the ball. If it's not the control system being more indecipherable than a babbling Frenchman, it's the ball moving with the fluidity of a balloon while mincing players run as though they're trapped in a vat of treacle.
There's always something. What's more, for the past , years give or take a couple of millennia the best we simple PC-owning folk could hope for was a couple of cosmetic tweaks from the inevitable six monthly FIFA release.
Bloody FIFA , it's had more near-identical releases than your average girl band, and still it can't convincingly reproduce the game of football. Why I ask you? Why are PC footy games generally so bad? Still, let's have a squiz at ISS3 and see if it can offer anything vaguely enjoyable. Right, lets go. Alarm bells started a-ringing when Konami refused to send us a copy of the game.
This kind of snub usually signals two things. In this case, amazingly, we have an exception. The 36 international teams come ready to play with no world-league license or actual players. Controlwise, the action is easy to handle. The learning curve is short, especially if you use the training mode.
Unfortunately, manual goalie control is difficult. As play approaches the net, you must control the goalie, watch the radar, track the play, and control defense.
