An example of WE7's overhauled physics engine for the ball itself. It no longer glides over the pitch, but randomly bobbles off the imperfections in the turf. This leads to a slew of new control options for dealing with bouncing balls. [Mar 2004, p.101]

The level of quality it has maintained is remarkable. In terms of gameplay and depth, there's no question that Winning Eleven 7 is the soccer game to own. [Mar 2004, p.82]

What it lacks in licenses and features (no online play!) WE7I more than compensates for with the most realistic, intense, attractive and all-around addicting soccer game to ever appear on PS2.

The control is tighter than ever before and the entire exercise proceeds under a fluid sheen of reciprocal interaction: Input from the gamer equals output on the screen, religiously.

But there isn't any game that comes closer to giving the feel of soccer and there are few games that come closer to gaming perfection.

Without a doubt, the most definitive soccer game ever released. [Mar 2004, p.70]

A model for realistic sports across the board, with physics, player behavior, and animations that raise the bar. Seriously hard-core sport is rarely this accessible and fun.

World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International not only is the best soccer game I have encountered; but it is one of, if not the best sports games, period, for the PS2. Any fan of soccer must own this if you own a PS2. Any gamer that likes a sports game with substance also needs to own this.

Blows past its predecessor and annihilates this year’s competition. This is a new standard for soccer and for sports games in general. The new graphics engine not only enhances the details in visuals but actually improves the gameplay mechanics.

The best soccer game on the market. The animations are amazing and the gameplay is smooth. This is a blast to play.
