It has all the features you could ask for and more and the gameplay has been refined to near perfection. Then it seems, the only reason FIFA is consistently outselling ISS is the fact that EA have the FIFA license and Konami do not. Just don't let that put you off what is possibly the best soccer game on any system.

If you already own ISS64, see if you find a trade-in deal to get your hands on the new one, otherwise, the amount of additions is not quite enough to warrant purchase of the sequel.

Considering that Japan isn’t famous for its success in the sport, for some reason the developers at KCET have a canny knack of delivering almost every attribute of our beautiful game in precision detail, with realism so sharp you could almost take an eye out!

I'd wager to call this (and the ISS 2000 edition) the best sports game(s) of the 64-bit era, in terms of representing the real sport with excellent gameplay mechanics and control. It gets better the more you play it, with lots of creative plays, formations, and tactics available to keep things fresh. Gameplay is fluid and varied, and does a great job of re-creating the pace of "the beautiful game". Konami absolutely outdid EA during the 90s. The only downsides are the somewhat confusing menus and the need for a controller pak to save the game.

El primer juego de fútbol que jugué y de los que más disfruté. Partidazos de selecciones, incluso retos para gente que le gusten desafíos. Juegazo.

Intelligence, control, and gameplay are all the best in the business. The only disappointments are the lack of real players and teams and the need for a better TV-style presentation.

The extra touches, although subtle, are akin to the brushstrokes in a Leonardo Da' Vinci masterpiece. The touches on their own seem insignificant, but look at ISS'98 as a complete package, and it is an experience that can only be described as religious.
