****************************************************************************

Opening Side Remarks: I bought this when it was released, because this was
the most recent one. I came from the country with the best soccer team in 
the world. (Brazil) Even though they lost that match, we're still the best.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: It's a soccer game. What do you want? Magic Spells? 
This is a normal soccer game. The World Cup feature is nice. Too bad the 
Penalties = computer cheating...

Liked: IT'S SOCCER! WOW. I WOULD NEVER FIGURE THAT OUT WITHOUT PLAYING IT!

Hated: a little cheating on the Penalties.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Very smooth and the crowd is ok. I like the huge flags. 
The animation is great and the physics are well done.

Liked: Great smooth graphics

Hated: I don't know....

****************************************************************************

Sound Description: Commentary is repetitive and the crowd is OK. I like the
entrance music...

Liked: Music outside the game

Hated: Commentary is repetitive

****************************************************************************

Play Control/ Game design: Nice play control, even though I've seen better. 
(International Superstar Soccer) The computer is very smart and the world cup
was very well designed...

Liked: Almost everything

Hated: I've seen better controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: More Commentary. Put more crowd animation.

RIYL: Fifa 99, ISS 98

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Good game, but there is a Fifa 99 and a ISS 98 on the market. 
There is no motive to buy this game, unless you are a sports game collector 
geek.
