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.)

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.

An Excellent Game

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!

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!!

thanks~~itz cool

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.

Oh, the sadness... whimper, whimper

*Sigh*-- with tremendous dissapointment, I have to say that the only real soccer title on the Dreamcast console is a terrible dissappointment. It just doesn't stand up as a game, with horrific gameplay absolutely killing any advance made in graphics for this system. Any soccer fan who was loyal to ISS or FIFA before jumping to the Dreamcast platform should NOT, I repeat, NOT, bother with this game... the worst sports title since Virtua Athlete. Oh, the sadness... Dreamcast, when will you find the soccer game worthy of your platform?

For a more enjoyable time, go watch milk spoil

This is not just the worst soccer game -- its the worst game I've ever played! For all of the reviewers that gave it 4-5 stars and said that the bad reviewers don't understand real soccer, I have the following comments:

1. In real soccer, one can see the other players on the pitch. In Virtua Soccer, the rest of the pitch is represented by a rectangular box with difficult-to-see red and blue dots that represent your and the opponents players. This makes it impossible to know who you are passing to, as anything 5 or more feet in front of you is off-screen.

2. I don't know about your personal soccer playing experience, but when I've played and passed the ball to a teammate, they at least made some effort to go after the ball. In this game, there is a very good chance that the player will just stand there until the other team takes over.

3. Most big-league players can dribble or control the ball for more than 2 seconds. In this game, you better (blindly) pass in 2 seconds or you're gonna lose the ball. I tried for 2 hours to just dribble (not even forward -- just anywhere) -- not even to score -- just to see if I could learn how to maintain control. Impossible!

4. Real soccer never gave me vertigo.

My recommendation: find the developers of this game and slap them in the face.

Two other comments about the rating:

1. Why can't I give it 0 stars? Others were right -- 1 star is too much credit. If you absolutely have to give it something, how about 1 Rotten Fish?

2.

Not Fun. Not Fun at all.

I had never played a bad Dreamcast until I played this horrible pile of stink. I'm sorry, that was rude. But it was rude of Sega to release this "game" on the unwitting public. This game is not fun in the least.
