Sega�s arcade soccer series adds cool extras and much more for its home version, Virtua Striker 2002.
Sega is following up its extreme sports title, Soccer Slam, with a more serious offering. There will be no high-flying flaming kicks in Virtua Striker 2002�just pure soccer simulation with 64 teams from around the world ready to compete. A total of nine modes�International Cup, Tournament, League, Penalty Kick, Ranking, Edit, Training, Goal Replay, and VS. match�await GameCube owners. The preview version looked very sharp with colorful stadiums and fluidly animated players. The gameplay was simplistic and easy to grasp, thanks to Virtua Striker�s arcade heritage. There will be no commentary during play, but plenty of crowd chants and ball kicks will fill your speakers come this May.
