Tactical soccer snes5/19/2023 ![]() Player control is potentially good - you can chip, lob, chest, head the ball (as well as perform the now almost obligatory scissor kick), but until you really get used to it, you'll probably find it a little inaccessible.Įven though FIFA looks and sounds fantastic, the game, unfortunately, is not without it's faults. It's not that it's not playable, it just takes a little getting used to. ![]() Game on?Īs for the gameplay - well if you haven't played FIFA before it will come as a bit of a shock. ![]() Overall though, the commentary is a valid addition to the game, it's just a shame there aren't any real sound effects when a player thumps the ball or when it hits the bar. you let go a super shot, the goalie grabs the ball out of the air and good ole Tony cries "Oooh - it hit the woodwork!" It's also a bit slow at times, and Tone tends to scream footie cliches after the action has finished whilst you're left wondering exactly what he's on about. The commentary? Well, it's amusing at first, but you only begin to really notice it when it starts to repeat itself or when it makes a mistake i.e. Flick through the numerous options, change a few player names, shuffle through some tactics and wowzer - it's footie time!

If you have got more than 4 Meg of ram then you're in business. (A bit slow on the uptake these footie commentators.) You can, however, use the Editor to alter the names of your players (a much needed improvement) and although the new name appears in the text at the bottom of the screen, Tony Gubba still uses the old name. indeed, the whizzo intro sequences are notably conspicuous by their absence, although, in its favour, the game automatically skips the intro and disables Tony Gubba's commentary rather than simply crashing. ![]() Well, unless you've got more than 4 Meg of ram, not a lot. In world-cup speak, it was something of an Italy - it played okay, was entertaining to watch and didn't overly disappoint, but when it came to the crunch it lacked that certain sparkle to make it a winner (i.e. It looked quite fab, had more options than an Oxbridge graduate who's uncle is "somebody" at the bbc and played, well - let's just say that there was room for improvement in the gameplay department. There must have been squillions of footie games released on the pc last summer and on the face of it, FIFA International Soccer came pretty close to grabbing the cup. ![]()
