Genesis

World Championship Soccer

De fato, um super campeonato mundial, com as melhores seleções do planeta entrando em campo para tentar faturar a taça. Os movimentos são idênticos aos praticados nos campos de verdade: chute a gol, lateral, escanteio e o jogador pode até "mergulhar" para fazer um gol de cabeça. Cada time tem suas características e destaques em táticas diferentes.

Sadly, World Championship Soccer is a horribly aged game that wasn't even that good to begin with. There are plenty of good soccer games available for the Genesis - Sensible Soccer, FIFA Soccer '95, and Konami's International Superstar Soccer especially spring to mind, so there is absolutely no reason anyone should bother to play this piece of garbage.

It's easy to believe this game came out in 1989, because it looks more like a Master System game than a Genesis title. The overhead view of the field makes the players look like black circles with shoulders. Your limited view of the action is supposedly compensated by a miniature "radar" field display on the right side of the screen. Even if you could make sense out of all those moving dots (forget about it), using it effectively is nearly impossible. I liked performing the bicycle kicks, but maintaining control of the ball is impossible. The upbeat background music is pleasant enough, but the "goal!" voice sample sounds more like someone screaming in agony! World Championship Soccer hasn't aged well at all.
