Where International Superstar Soccer really shines is in the amazing animations and graphics. The players dance and run around the field when they score, they get in each others faces when they are fouled, they even help each other up when the contact is incidental. And as far as sounds are concerned, the whole time the field is alive with amazing graphics, the announcer goes non-stop, commenting on good plays and bad decisions. Ultimately, what sets this game apart from the pack is the number of gameplay options that are available. Obviously, you can choose your formation, but within a formation you can give different players different roles, stretch zones, and designate positions.
