The game was a sequel to a previous International Superstar Soccer game released for the Super Nintendo.
The game had fast, arcade-style gameplay, but also had deep customization and strategic features. All player names could be edited, and the formations that teams played in had extremely detailed options. Teams represented a variety of different countries.
Many reviewers praised the game also for its mulitplayer, which supported up to 4 players at a time, along with its variety of options.
An enthusiastic commentator, complete with cries of “GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!” is included as well.
