Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If you are a footy-loving Dreamcast owner you are not exactly spoilt for choice on Sega's otherwise exemplary console. Apart from Virtua Striker the only alternative is the World Wide Soccer series which sees its third incarnation in UEFA Dream Soccer. If you own either of the previous versions you will find this game very familiar with a few graphical bells and whistles and some gimmicky additions such as female teams (who play no differently to their male counterparts). The moment you kick off, it is obvious that there are some major flaws with UEFA Dream Soccer: the players AI is very suspect: you can play an inch-perfect pass to your striker and he will stand with the ball at his feet waiting to be dispossessed. It is possible, however, to score by walking the ball into the back of the net, with the goalie stuck in the scenery, which doesn't happen very often in the Premiership. Some of the animation is very dubious too: a simple defensive header can send the ball rocketing into the other half and the players glide over the pitch in a very unconvincing manner. The UEFA licence doesn't extend to real player's names and the random commentary often doesn't reflect the actual on-field action. As a two-player pick-up-and-play, though, it has its moments and its possible to have some exciting high-scoring end-to-end games with some spectacular, if unconvincing, action. The varied Arcade options ensure extended play as well. Unfortunately this game is not the killer football title that Dreamcast has been waiting for. If you are a true sports fan then the best advice would be to try Virtua Tennis instead. Not football admittedly, but possibly the best sports game on any console. --Michael Bartley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Fantastic SoccerIf you've ever played any of the FIFA or ISS games, the control setup for this game will feel familiar and intuitive. This is a game which is really easy to get into, yet it has a very deep system. And unlike the aforementioned games, it has no sure way of scoring goals. There are a variety of ways to slam the ball into the net and all of them are equally satisfying. If you've got a group of friends willing to sacrifice an evening for a tournament, I really recommend this game. Everyone I know who has played it enjoyed it thoroughly. The graphics are easily the most impressive ever seen in a footie game. Screenshots won't do it justice, the animations are fantastic and the pitch looks incredible. There are a few minor ... Read More: Rating:  - Gooaaaalllllll!!!I agree with many of the other comments and that with a bit more testing this could have been an excellent game. Although saying that, I really enjoy playing this and its excellent in two player mode. It may not be the best footy game around but I would certainly recommend it..and certainly worth it as under a tenner!! Rating: - WOW! How cheap!This game is surely a steal at this price! A fast paced, end to end goal fest, what more could arcade soccer fans ask for? Sure it has a couple of glitches...but then so does ISS2 on the PS - being able to walk the ball THROUGH the side of the net to score, for example. No game is perfect, but at least UDS gives it a damn good shot! Rating: - I wanted to give it 6 starsI thought this game was brilliant. The graphics and gameplay were really good and I would say they match the PS2. The players were very relistic and the women teams were a bonus. The 2 player mode was also brilliant and me and my friends played it for hours. The other game modes were excellent and what made it good was when you won tournaments you would gain trophies and you could keep them in your trophy case. You can also play this game for ever as you can't get tired of it. The only game that matches it is ISS Pro 2 for the PS1. Rating: - dare i give it a 4 starsI wont say anything that has already been said, because it is all true, but if you are a diehard soccer fan, then this is worth a buy, especially at this price, very reasonable. I think the amount of options alone is one of the main reasons why i like this so much. Most football games, you play a cup or a league, and then at the end of that theres nothing. But with Dream soccer, you win trophies which stay in a trophy cabinet. So there is a real desire to play everything and get that cabinet full. Also as you win some of the competitions you get awarded other competitions, hidden teams and extra stadiums, so its all worth while. Of course if the game play and the graphics where better it would have made the game a FIFA ... Read More: |
