How Metascores Are Calculated

For the soccer purist, ISS '98 offers a mind-boggling array of coaching options. You can select your starting lineup from 20-man squads and assign each player a specific role. A player's motivation -- symbolized by six different faces, including the grinning one above -- can greatly affect his performance. For the biggest psychological edge, pick an especially cheerful soul as your captain. ISS '98 gives you a choice of nine international stadiums; day, evening or nighttime play; sunny, cloudy, rainy or snowy weather; and five CPU skill levels. You can command any of the three refs to call or not call fouls, offsides or yellow cards. Informal handicapping can be done by fielding seven to 11 players per side and weak, average or excellent goalies. ISS '98 deftly combines endless strategic possibilities with out-and-out fun. While lacking the coveted FIFA license, it merits serious consideration by any soccer fan -- or anyone who appreciates great sports games, period. [Nintendo]

It has all the features you could ask for and more and the gameplay has been refined to near perfection. Then it seems, the only reason FIFA is consistently outselling ISS is the fact that EA have the FIFA license and Konami do not. Just don't let that put you off what is possibly the best soccer game on any system.
