Sports games were rough on the Saturn with a lot of "misses." Sega Worldwide Soccer 97 improved upon its predecessors and competitors (FIFAs were awful, Olympic Soccer was underwhelming, VR Football/Striker 96/anything else was forgettable and ideally ignored), making the game fun with a good in-stadium atmosphere. The gameplay is shallow and options are limited but to its credit, the length of time holding a shot button impacts the power of the shot, as well as how much you hold the D-pad impacts the trajectory/curve. While graphics improved noticeably with SWWS'98 and then World Cup 98 (which wasn't released stateside), it had goal celebrations not available in those. The Saturn didn't have excellent soccer games. You'd be better off playing 16-bit titles like FIFA or International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, FIFA on Sega CD, or Winning Eleven on the PSX. But if you cannot get your hands on World League 98 (PAL only), SWWS 98, and don't have the language skills to play J-League Victory Goal 97 or Konami's pre-ISS entry, and you REALLY must have a footy game, then you should look into SWWS 97.Read full review
