World Championship Soccer II

The fun one


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Drastic departure from the previous game. This is now a side view in the style of Mega Man Soccer or Tecmo World Cubp, et al. Movement is just about perfect - not too fast or slow. Simple two button controls - pass, kick, tackle. Kicks move fast. Thank you! Why can't all soccer games put some oomph behind their kicks? Failrly easy to run around and score on Easy mode.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Same modes as everyone else. Getting into a match is fairly slow.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Soccer


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Sprites are so ugly. There's only one sprite with a lovely mullet. Each team is just a pallete swap.


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

Probably the worst quality audio in a Genesis game. The crowd noise, music, and other sound effects are unbelievably garbled. Mute immediately.


Overall Score: 50

Review ID: 1400
