Advantages: Gameplay and Master League

Disadvantages: can look dated

Back in the 1990's there was only one football game for me for a long time. Sensible World of Soccer for the Amiga, this was the ultimate in football gaming and I never beleived it would be beaten. For me it wasn't beaten until the Playstation 2 came out but there were a select few games that were each and every bit as good as SWOS was and they came in the form of International Superstar Soccer. Originating on the SNES and evolving through to the PSX this is the 4th installment of the game on the Playstation.

The one thing I notice about this game now when I play it is that even though theres been around 8 newer versions updated in all ways, this game still has the same feel as the ones today, for me this was always the key for these games that they always stuck to the same engine.

The graphics were excellent as this was at a time when the PS2 was heavily in development so you could see the PSX at it's peak. The gameplay was so smooth and easy to play its still a joy to fool around with and theres plenty of teams wether it be club or coutry that you'll never get bored.

This had the addition of a master league where you would take a team of no-name players to the top slowly replacing them with real players that youd buy. Great addition to a brilliant game.

All in all I look back at this game with a smile and really do think you could sit and play this with friends and still enjoy it, in fact I prefer this one to the latest version on the PS3. Sure it doesn't look as good but it plays much better.

Summary: Another perfect football game from konami
