Description

It's just a game like English soccer fans are just a little bit enthusiastic. Say hello to the next generation of soccer.

 

I'm sure you remember this game. It was the first soccer game that made you smell the grass and feel on your leg after every foul. You were playing from virtually any perspective with smooth and fast camera action that got you in the game. Its interactive technology didn't look better, but it played better.


You do remember, don't you?
 


Choose from 44 international teams and select the position you want to play. Try head to head or alternating play modes for one or two players and even more multiplayer fun?

Feel the soccer once again.

Good Game

I never heard of this Game back in the 90s. I played Fifa96 at that time. So I am playing VR Soccer in 2020 for the first time in my Life! I like it very much. - There is Musik in the Game Menu! - You can play with your XBox Controller! - I love Pixellook and the Game looks very Pixely and I love it. It runs fast, it runs smooth! in a nice 4:3 Resolution filling the Screen with black sideborders! - I do not agree with these negative comments here - i am a Old school Retro Games lover. so i can imagine Millennials disliking these Games today.

Not for me

I suppose this is one of those games you either love or hate. Unfortunately my case is the latter, at least so far. If you're looking for a great old football game, forget this one and look for fifa '94. However this one reaches three stars thanks to the graphics.
