Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

Once again Sega supply us with another excellent arcade conversion.But the question we are presented with is should this flashy looking football game been left in the arcades?Others would tell you yes but my opinion is no.This game is another classic in the ever expanding Dreamcast line up.The realisim of the in-game action will amaze.The way the players look and and move is convincinly real.However dont play this game expecting a FIFA or ISS game ...
...of FIFA and the realisim of ISS for a total arcade type of game play - simple and addictive.The buttons are really simple to learn,one button for shoot,one for long ball and one for short ball.Defending is even simpler with only one button for tackle.What no speed up button?Yup thats right you have to learn to spread the ball about more as the tacles come flying in frequently.The lack of a speed up button is where I feel the game is let down.Your ...

Review of Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

This has to be one of the most ludicrous games around.So the graphics are good, but the game has come straight from the Arcades, except much of it got lost on the way. The game is so utterly pathetic, there's only four moves 'shoot, short pass, long pass, slide (which means tackle)' and the game itself doesn't gell together like a game should. there's no official status, and there's no commentry - or if there is I can't remember it - it's such an ...

Review of Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

I think virtua striker 2 is an alright good game with lots of good colours and well thats about it. I loved the game in the arcade and was really excited to find out that it was coming out on the dc but unfortunately it ws not even half as good as i anticipated and well I was robbed for spending £30 on the game. i feel the game is like an arcade to console conversion that has no extras and so after a short time gets boring and you begin to wonder ...
...no extra camera views which can make some areas of the game difficult e.g. when passing you can rarely see who you are passing to and also I dont like that when you are in the box and you hit a full power shot it always goes over the bar. Lastly I wish some other teams than just international ones had have been added. My verdict is to not touch this game with a big stick Rating:35% ...

Review of Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

...about their soccer simulations. Virtua Striker 2 has had many options added to it since its acrade incarnation, modes such as International Cup, League and Ranking help increase the longevity of the game a little but you still wont be playing the 1 player game for long. If you want this game to provide you with enjoyment months after you buy it your gonna have to have some friends to play against. VS2's biggest attribute is graphics, these are ...

Review of Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

Virtua Striker 2000.1 was a game i got for free when buying the dreamcast, and it was worth every penny. Whilst not containing the fun, skill or interest of FIFA or ISS, it still managed to divert my attention for all of 20 minutes. Although its an arcade port, it's too slow, there's no run button and most of the time you find yourself fouling the other player or controlling a player 50 yards from the ball. If only there was a run function, a player ...

Review of Virtua Striker 2 (Dreamcast)

...games available for the dreamcast, Virtua Striker had to be something special to make it stand out from the others. With great disappointment Virtua Striker fails to do this in any department, while the graphics and sound are good they are nothing special and the controls are a nightmare, after you press a button it takes at least a second for your player to react resulting in you losing the ball. Virtua Striker could have been something special ...
