"ISS 3"

anyone else got this??

i have to say i'm disappointed. I thought ISS was the more "arcadey" brother of Pro Evolution. Maybe it's just me, but i thought it was a bit slow for an arcade game and overly fiddly. There seem to be a fair few issues with it too:

1. the player select is dubious at best, it always seems to change to the most unhelpful player :-\
2. pressing long pass results in booting the ball wildly into touch an awful lot
3. there doesn't seem to be a tackle button that won't give away a foul.
4. not option to use the D-pad for control :(

maybe it's just me but i'm having a hard time warming to this game, am i missing something?

to think that the money i spent on this could've gone towards Viewtiful Joe.. dang! ;)

well, that's it.
i officially despise ISS3 and the review i just posted is fairly vocal about it too! :)

it's back in it's box, the memory card has been wiped and it's being traded in on the weekend.

considering how much fun ISS on the SNES was, this was a total disappointment.
i'm going back to Redcard, it's an AWFUL football game engine with a million omissions, but it's a right laught to play and that's all that matters to me.

I find that in Winning Eleven 6 when my attack loses the ball.

Yep! VERY Winning Eleven 6!!

...And again!


Sounds very much like World Soccer Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution, to me! Yet, they are so very different in class... Strange, isn't it?

And yes, Winning Eleven 6 (the best footy game on the 'Cube!) is the Japanese equivalent of Pro Evolution Soccer 2.

i'm confused, is Winning 11 the Japanese version of Pro Evo?

Indeed.

FIFA 2003 is the better football game for GameCube owners. That is, of course, if you can't import Winning Eleven 6 from Japan.

I haven't got it but i was going to , i've heard its complete garbage.

*LMAO*
it's funny......... because it's true, i turned it off on my 3rd game.
yeah, this hasn't been fixed, it's still appalling, most of it is in a different tone of voice. it's madness, GC games are on mini-dvd's so there's LOADS of room!! maybe if there were less pointless menu animations or movie clips for company logos (seriously, just a picture would be fine!) then there'd be room to make the commentary passable..

i'm still giving it the benefit of the doubt, but if it's not grabbed me by the weekend then it's getting traded against viewtiful joe :)

ISS on the SNES and fifa 98 for the PSone are still the best footie games around. oh, and sensible soccer, NATURALLY! :)

I read about ISS 3 and it sount really bad. Personally, I'll stick with FIFA, at least the commentary (Sp?) isn't as bad.

The commentary in ISS is genius.

And now ENGLAND!!!!! have possession of the ball, that's a goal for ENGLAND!!!!!! ESTONIA!!!!!! must be very disappointed.

You have to use the ALT0160 character.

They didn't show my spaces in my post :(
