ISS Pro Evolution 2
"It seems ever so strange dropping back onto the PSone to check out the latest soccer game from Konami, considering the recent high profile release of ISS on PS2… But then again, this is the REAL follow up to possibly the best footy game out on any system to date."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Johnathan Hewitt  "Absolutely Phenomenal, Incredible, Addictive
Gameplay Which Just Makes Me Laugh When I
Think Of Fifa. I Have Followed Iss Right Through
Since 96 Perfect 11, Iss98, Iss2000 Then This
Masterpiece, The Graphics And Animation Is
So Fluid The Realism Is Great, I Would Just Like
To See A Few Little Alterations, Like Streakers,
Muddy Pitches And Netless Goals , Maybe
Extreme Weather Conditions Or Toilet Roll
Actually On The Pitches Aswell And Career
Mode In The Next Version, Maybe More Tricks
Like Catching The Ball On Back Of Neck Running
With It Then Flicking It Of Then Volleying It Into
Goal, Also Bizzare Celebrations Like Pulling
There Shirts Of To Reveal Another Tshirt
Underneath With Something Written On It"

Richard Fox  "I've Been A Fan Of Iss Since '98 With The N64. Bought A Palystation For Pro Evo'. Got A Copy Of Winning Eleven 6 From Japan Ages Ago And Thought That I Was Fantastic. Was Keen To Get My Hands On An English Pro 'evo2 And Was Appalled To Find Theyve Turned It To Shit. Attacking Wise Its Maybe Improved But Defensively They have Ruined It, In My Opinion ."

Dare Famodimu  "I Own This Game For 4 Months And Played It Almost Every Day (not Less Than An Hour Or More). Where I Come From Soccer Is The Dominat Sport And We Play Mostly Soccer Video Games. No One Around Here Plays Any Other Soccer Game Other Than Iss Pro Evolution 2. This Game Made Me Forget All My Other Ps Games All Through The Time I Had It. I Looking To Buy Another One Now, Because Mine Was Stole (even Thou It Was Damaged). This Is Not Only The Best Soccer Game Ever, But The Greatest Game I Have Played To Date."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Paul Oosthuizen  "Iss Pro Evolution 2 Is Very Fun.

At The Start If You Are A Beginner The Game Might Seem Quite Hard. But If You Had It For About 3 Weeks It Gets Really Fun. If You Are Really Good At Playing Sports Game, It Might Be Easy Straight Away!!

The Graphics Are Different From Ea Sports Titles, Because It Is "konami" Graphics Which Makes It Good. (same As Metal Gear Solid).

The Commentating Is Not The Best I Have Heard In Playstation Games, But Is Listenable.

There Are 55 International Teams And 24 Club Teams From Around The World.

You Can Create-your-own Player. But Not Your Own Team, Don't Let That Put You Down!!

There Are More Than 10 Stadiums.

This Game Is Worth Spending Your Weekly Pocket Money On!!!

Trust Me!!!"

Adam Atteya  "It Is Surely The Best Soccer Game Ever Made, But It Has Its Downpoints Too. It Is So Annoying That You Have To See The Replays Of Your Goals In Slowmotion. The Commentry Isn't Good. You Should Be Able To Make Your Own Squad For A Country.
In Overall I Really Love The Game And Ive Been Playing It For Over A Year."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Prit Parmar  "I've Owned Iss Pro Evolution 2 For Just Over One Month And There Is Only One Word That Describes This Game-awesome! Before Iss Pro 2 I'd Been A Fifa Addict Through And Through And I Had To Make The Choice Between Fifa 2002 And Iss Pro 2-i Chose Iss Pro 2 And I Can Honestly Say There Is No Comparison. Unlike The Fifa Titles, Iss Pro Displays Complete Realism. There Are No Set Ways To Score A Goal Or Simply Cross He Ball In The Box Knowing You Are Going To Score As In Fifa.
Individual Players Such As Roberto Carlos And
Shevchenko Oooze Class In The Game And These Players Will Help You Win Matches.players Such As Zidane And Figo Will Dominate The Midfield As They Would In Real Life Therefore Adding To The Superb Realism Of This Title.
There Is A Sheer Feeling Of Joy When A Goal Is Scored In Iss Pro 2.the Variety Of Ways To Score Is Immense; Whether It Be A Slick Passing Movement With Through Balls Or A Floated One-two Pass To Cut The Defence.
The Game Has So Many Options And The Master League Option Is Brilliant Especially As You Win Matches And Add Quality Players To Your Mediocre Team. Players Can Be Edited As One Pleases And Its Always A Luagh To Create A Super Player And Terrorise Opposition Defences.
All In All, This Game Has No Competitors And The Gaming Experience Is Unmatched.you'll Be Playing This On Your Own Or With Your Mates For Months And Months After You've Bought It. The Only Thing I Want To Know If There's Gonna Be An Iss Pro Evolution 3 Because It Just Has To Be Bought!"

Paddy Byrne  "To Say That This Game Has Robbed Me Of A Social Life Would Be An Understatment. It Is A Football Game Which Banishes All Other Pretenders To The Realms Of Obscurity. Great Graphics, Superb Animation, The Most Realistic Re-creation Of The Beautiful Game On Any Format And So Addictive It Leaves Illegal Substances In The Shade!this Game Truly Has It All, Except Perhaps Commentary, But The Experiende Is So Rich, It Is But A Minor Quibble. If You Love Footie, Get This Now."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Joz Harrison  "A Fantastic Game That Is Way Ahead Of The Competition On Ps 1. It Is The Only Game Where You Can Truely Say That Something New Can Happen Everytime You Play It. It Still Does For Me And Ive Had It Since Release Day. The Master League Is A Fantastic Achievement And Ensures That Even When Playing Alone It Is Still A Great Game. It's September Now And The Wait For Pro Evolution Soccer Is Getting Harder To Bear By The Day. However If It Only Slightly Improves On Iss Evolution 2, Pro Evolution Soccer Will Still Be The Greatest Game Ever Made."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Rob Utton (starman)  "This Game Is Probably, No Deffinately, The Best Soccer Game On The Playstation. The Gameplay Is The Most Realistic Thing About It. You Can Now Save Your Replays Of Great Goals So That You Can See Them Over And Over Again In The Gallery Mode.
Fouls Are Much More Realistic As Players Can Now Be Injured And Even Be Forced To Leave The Pitch Because They Are Too Injured To Play. Goalkeepers Are Harder To Beat Which Makes The Game More Realistic (hint: To Have A Better Chance Of Scoring, Run Down The Right Flank Towards The Near Post And Put It Behind The Keeper).
Corners Are More Realistic Because The Players Actually Move Around And Fight For Space.

Overall It Is The Best Footie Game That The Ps One Has On Offer-a Must Have!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Daniel Moss (fluff)  "Well As Far As Soccer Games Go, It's Either Iss Or Fifa, So Which One To Choose? Well Hopefully This Review Will Help Swing Your Vote Towards The Brilliant Iss Pro Evolution 2!

Long Before I s s Hit My Playstation I Was A Fifa Nut, Every Fifa Game From 1997-2001. But Now I've Seen Iss, I Doubt I'll Go Back To Fifa Again. In General Fifa Has Far Better Graphics Than Iss, But It's The Outstanding Gameplay That Makes It Stand Out From The Rest.

Iss Has Most Of The Main International Teams And 32 Of The Worlds Top Club Teams Availble For Picking In The Brilliant Master League Where You Guide Your Team Of Unknown Players To The Master League Division 1 Winning Points For Transfers Through Draws And Wins. Also With This Is The Cup And League Options, Where Theres Plenty Of Options To Choose From Which Keeps You Playing Iss. The Edit Mode Is Best Of It's Kind. With Lots Of Little Details, And Even Prounciations Of The Players Name, Plus Every Little Stat To Strength And Acceleration.

So Back To The Graphics. Don't Get Me Wrong, The Graphics Are Pretty Good. Not Pushing The Psx To It's Limit But Good Enough To Make The Game Look Nice. The Players Aren't As Detailed As Fifa But The Player Movement Is A Lot More Realistic And It'd Much Rather More Work Go Into That Than The Graphics. So For Graphics I'd Give It A Satisfactory Level That Works Well With The Game.

The Sound, Well Personally This Lets Iss Down Big Time. The Commentary Is Terrible, The Players Names Are Totally Wrong, Instead Of Michael Owen It's Dyer, And Instead Of Bartlett It's Mccarthy, So A Mix-up On The Commentary Front Gives The Game Fairly Poor Sound Level, The Music Itself Is Pretty Good, But No Big Name Sounds And Nothing Spectacular Either.

But It's The Gameplay That Gives This Game It's Worth. If We Compare It To Fifa The Difference Is Easily Notable. Out Go All The Easy Goals, And In Come The God Damn Annoying, But Quality Iss Keepers! With Fifa You'd Always Know Where The Keeper Would Dive And Move, Making It Easy To Score, But Iss Is So Unpredictable And The Players Never Kick The Ball In The Same Place Twice, Which Makes The Game Ever More Like Real Life. The Game Is Also Harder To Play In That Pressing 'o' Doesn't Kick The Ball Straight Up The Pitch Like Fifa, But It Actually Kicks The Ball The Way You're Facing And Also You Have To Move Your Player To Head The Ball Rather Than The Ball Go Srtaight To His Head. The Tackles Are Much Harder To Time In Iss Aswell, One Wrong Slide Tackle And You're Off, In Fifa You Slide Tackle Crazy And Nothing Gets Given. Which Overall Makes Iss A Much More Challenging, And Realistic Game Much Closer To Real Life Soccer Which Is Fun To Play Months, Even Years After Purchase.

Thank You For Listening And I Hope This Review Has Helped You Make A Choice In The Direction Of Iss, If You Like Soccer, Then Buy It!"
