This one is crazy! It's all over the place! So many twists and turns! Anyway, International Superstar Soccer is the much better soccer game on this console. It's so refreshing to play this after wanting to fall asleep playing FIFA.

Ok FYI Wrestlemania 2000 and VPW2 are sibling games with totally different rosters. VPW 2 is All Japan licensed plus features altered versions of wrestlers from other Japanese promotions and MMA groups as well. They are different game modes, WM 2000 has cage matches while VPW2 has MMA rules. Their main quest is also a bit different as well. I would probably make these separate entries, but either way both games are awesome so enjoy.

@ADoseofBuckley 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I would agree that Wrestlemania 2000 and VPW 2 are quite different (even in gameplay, VPW 2 had the MMA striking and things like that), certainly their "story modes" are a little different for sure (the VPW 2 one taking you through a year of All Japan's shows and events vs The Road to Wrestlemania), but obviously at this point there's not much sense in telling Thab to make it separate, since he probably finished these games about a year ago and the video's probably been done for a while now too.

Konami actually had two separate series of soccer games being released simultaneously. The International Superstar Soccer aka Jikkyo World Soccer series by Konami Osaka, and the Winning Eleven aka Goal Storm aka ISS Pro aka Pro Evolution Soccer series by Konami Tokyo.
