Sega International Victory Goal

Sega International Victory Goal is a 1995 soccer video game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. It is the second game in the Sega Worldwide Soccer series following the Saturn's Japan-exclusive Victory Goal from earlier that year. Sega International Victory Goal was a launch title for the console in North America and Europe.

Gameplay

International Victory Goal is a soccer game which allows the player to switch to three different camera angles during play. It is a four-player game if a Saturn multiplayer adapter is used. The game features polygon graphics and allows the option to rotate and zoom the camera view. The game begins with an FMV introductory sequence.

Reception

Next Generation gave the Saturn version of the game three stars out of five, commending the gameplay despite faulting some elements in the game design.
GamePro said that "Head-to-head games, tournament options, penalty shootouts, awesome cinematics, instant replays, and more score a goal for Victory."
Games World rated the game 65% and stated that even though it substituted international teams for Japanese teams, "the UK game still struggles to score".
Ultimate Future Games rated the game 70% and said that it "just doesn't have the depth or ease of play of its contemporaries" while praising its angles and views.
MAXIMUM Magazine gave the game two stars and called it "a frankly unacceptable release" noting that is visuals did not make up for its poor gameplay.
In 1996, Next Generation listed Worldwide Soccer 2 as number 47 on their "Top 100 Games of All Time".
