Striker 96 Review - Sega Saturn

[@gameshack1985]

*I hope for everyone who watches this videos sake, that none of you bought this game upon release for £39.99!* On the topic of football/soccer games though, name the worst one you have ever played below!

Own goal I suppose

Really do miss the 90s when multiple publishers released sports games so there was always choice. Now they seem to have accepted that only one publisher should release for a particular sport as it is considered the best and generates the most money. Even EA dropped the sports that 2K were selling more of to stop any kind of competition. I was never much of a fan of the Striker games myself though even though my friend was on the SNES but even he didn't want this game as he felt it wasn't advanced enough to consider.

The ball physics look absolutely atrocious. Looks like it it’s made of lead. Interesting review as always.

@@shinra2755 It's a really poor game!

Agree and disagree with a lot of this. Graphics, yes sprites aren't amazing but the pitches and stadiums are. And on PS1 at least, it's locked 50fps, so smooth! Sound is poor and tackles are not good and it's too fast. But, the gameplay, so much depth! No other football game at the time offered the sheer amount of controllable passes, shots, headers etc. You can play some amazing football once you get used to it. Oh, and you can run with the ball. You have to press two buttons together. I think it's kick and pass. (Square and Cross on PS1)

This or Victory Goal?

@gameshack1985 I agree, plus it was a launch title. Although I'm not into footy games, when I first played it along with Clockwork knight and the classic Virtua Fighter, all three of them blew me away. Xmas 95', great memories 👌.
