Instead of putting the camera where the most action can be seen at once without losing detail, Actua Soccer 2 's cameras are either too close, not needing to show as many players, or too far, not showing as much detail. They only had to fix some basic gameplay errors in the original Actua to make it a truly great game, even when compared to its EA Sports' present-day competitor. Controlling your players, if you can really call it that, is accomplished via four buttons- shoot, pass, lob pass, and speed burst. Taking screenshots I have no idea. A port for the Nintendo 64 was planned but canceled after six months in development due to poor sales of the game Body Harvest for the platform.[16]. Screenshots from Fifa 97 fails in the fans' eyes, although it keeps selling like Cantona's shirt. Twice I had the game end during a fast break, with the striker already past the defence and only had the keeper between him and the goal. And I do mean never, including in free kicks, and also, I suspect, in penalties- there were simply too many times when my keeper jumped to the other side. Compared with the beautiful simplicity that was Fifa 96 , the way it felt right at home from the opening whistle, Actua looked like the younger, adrenaline-crazed brother. And then there's gameplay. The first title's biggest claim to fame was its full 3D graphics engine, used for the first time in a home console football game (the first full-3D football game being Sega arcade Virtua Striker); although other console games had used a 3D field, players were commonly still 2D sprites but in Actua Soccer players were polygonal. Is this Gremlin 's best effort? No camera angle was truly comfortable, and the pace only made that problem more extreme. It was originally intended to be Fox Sports Hockey and was being developed by Gremlin for Fox Interactive, who had obtained an NHL license. Aggregating review website GameRankings gave the PC version 70.50%[13] and the PlayStation version 38.75%.[14]. Lastly, training helps you get used to the game, as much as is possible, and in a nice touch, the training grounds is actually a park, with trees around the pitch. Actua Soccer 2 had me in front of the screen for about 5, and even then, at least half of that time I was forcing myself to play. It most arrogantly does so itself, using Microsoft's handily provided command line options. And lastly, not technically a bug, but quite amusing, is how Trevor goes silly about basic plays. Gremlin go out of their way to let you know about it, from the background pictures to the "Shearer... Shearer.. Tech support was helpful, I have to say that. After all, let's admit it, football is a rather slow sport most of the time. All references to NHL were changed to GHL ( Gremlin Hockey League ), all player names were modified by substituting vowels (Svoboda became Svaboda, for instance), player faces were randomized and a whole new front-end was developed. Actua Tennis was developed by Gremlin and released on PlayStation in 1998 and Windows PC in 1999. Actua Soccer 2 was designed with the help of Alan Shearer. It actually becomes a little sickening after a while, but I can understand their wish to, err, milk the franchise. The game featured players which were motion captured from real tennis players and commentary by Sue Barker and Barry Davies. No, it isn't really bad, but it isn't very good either. And of course, in gameplay there are all the usual options, from ref strictness to weather conditions. The ref in this game is ignorant of how the game proceeds, and has no qualms about whistling for end of period during the course of a shot. If you have trouble to Will it be good enough to actually have fun with this time? Try to run for a few yards, then suddenly turn 180 degrees. Actua Soccer 2 (known as Fox Sports Soccer '99 in North America), once again included national teams, but a more polished engine (optimised in the PC version for 3D graphics cards), (in some versions) the full Italian Serie A league, and a new "scenario" mode assured good sales and mostly positive reviews. The magazine's Elvis Bacon called it "quite simply the best tennis game available."[15]. Actua Pool was developed by Gremlin for PlayStation and Windows in 1999. Not a resounding "No! So I wonder. Actua Ice Hockey 2 was developed by Gremlin Interactive for the PlayStation and Windows in 1999. The graphics used a slightly improved version of the Actua Soccer 2 engine with much improved weather effects. This works well, except that it ruins the uninstall file and kills any chance of the executable appearing under the desired folder in the startup menu. At about the same time, Fifa 's traditional rival comes out, all ready for the yearly derby.
