Now you get a choice of four speeds - the highest of which is actually too fast. Now you're free to enjoy what is an excellent game of football. True, it takes some getting used to. The multitude of buttons used - covering everything from simple shooting and passing, to player selection which isn't automatic , running you have to keep tapping a button to sprint , automatic crosses and side-shimmies - makes the use of multi-button joypads an absolute must we used a pair Microsoft Sidewinder joypads.
But, with practice, you can put together some excellent moves. Unlike the relatively simplistic Actua Soccer 2, here you'll find yourself involved in lots of penalty box scrambles and, significantly, scoring goals in dozens of different ways. It's also reasonably easy as in not impossible to score as a result of a free kick or comer thanks to a three-option system which enables you to direct the ball with a bendy arrow, aim it at a chosen player or target a specific space.
Good stuff. Bizarrely, you can bend goal kicks, but that's another story. And the artificial intelligence? It's hard to fault it, frankly, with players running intelligently off the ball you'll even see the defence spring off-side traps , and goalkeepers who occasionally slip up and have a tendency to palm the ball away in a continental stylee but, on the whole, behave exactly as you'd expect.
Oh, and incidentally, you can switch between three customisable formations and tactic settings as you play. Yes, that's even more buttons to remember. The 'meat' of the game, then, has improved greatly. And the presentation? Well, where do we start? There's tons of scenesetting video and animated cut-scenes which you can skip at the press of a button , the in-game graphics and animation are simply superb, and the sound -including player grunts and groans and numerous crowd chants - is great too.
Even the chosen theme music, Chumbawumba's 'Tubthumping', seems pretty good There's also an awful lot of commentary. Gary Lineker summarises between matches, Des Lynam introduces the games, while John Motson and Chris Waddle provide the actual commentary. Despite the occasional slip-up "A classic finish - can't wait to see that again" wasn't really appropriate after Sheringham had walked the ball into the net , Motson's commentary is the best -certainly the most natural - in any footie game to date.
Waddle's input, however, is as bad as you'd expect it to be. Most of the time, he just repeats what's already been said. An example? John Motson: "What a great save! Great save, John! Waddle also has the audacity to comment on the penalties. Well, we've seen professional footballers take much worse penalties than that, Chris. Know what we're saying? World Cup 98 does have some small faults: red cards aren't shown for tackles from behind, for example; there are no old rules for the Classic Cup mode golden goal in , anyone?!
Worst of all, the control system enables you to select an action before your player gets the ball. This is not a great problem once you get used to it, but in the meantime expect passes to go amiss, players to dive in for tackles when you don't want them to Ultimately though, the fact that we've already been playing the game solidly for an entire week -and expect to be playing it throughout the summer - says it all.
World Cup 98 is quite simply the finest football game on the PC; the perfect accompaniment to the tournament. Not so much meat and gravy, then, as a succulent chicken in white wine sauce or something. Gorge yourself on it. Capitalizing on the World Cup '98 craze, EA Sports is hitting the shelves with another soccer title faster than Kiss recorded albums back in the 70s. EA's WC!

Soni-cally, all the right bells and whistles, as well as two-man commentary, are still intact. Training, and Penalty Shootout inodes. Unfortunately, there aren't as many teams to choose from: Because the game is based on the actual tournament, EA included only the 32 teams that qualified plus 8 bubble teams , and not the whopping teams that were available in RTWC.
Nonetheless, WC's rosters are still stacked with all the players, and all ten stadiums arc modeled after their real-life French counterparts, including those in Bordeaux, Marseille, and Paris.

I soon felt at home with the intensity of power this game has to offer.
