#28 International Superstar Soccer


This was my first venture into Pro Evo and I have to say, never looked back since :D

ISS isn't the same as Pro Evolution, even though the Pro Evo series developed out of the ISS series. Back in the day ISS, Deluxe, 64 and 98 were the football games to play and then the PlayStation finally got its ISS Pro. Or maybe that was just a marketing scheme for the West, because ISS was already popular over here. In Japan both football series possibly carried different names, because a Gamefaqs search for "Winning Eleven" doesn't bring up any SNES and N64 games.

ISS Pro was terrible game that didn't play anywhere close to as good as the SNES and especially the N64 games. I guess it sold well enough regardless, because the PS1 was very popular and so is football. Also, most people probably didn't know just how good the other ISS games were, so Pro didn't feel like a joke of a game to them.

Eventually ISS got killed altogether in favor of the Pro Evolution series which could never match the level of play control of the ISS series. It also amazed me how everytime I read previews/reviews for FIFA and Pro Evo that pointed out that these games now included features that were present in ISS a decade ago.

never had you down as a football fan. And Yes, I missed the stats driven days of ISS, these modern day Pros are really lacking on that front if I'm honest.
