[edit] Description
This is the sequel to International Superstar Soccer, Konami's saga of soccer games. This Deluxe version was published first to the SNES, then the Mega Drive and Playstation.
ISS Deluxe has realistic animations and player sprites. You can compete with 36 national teams with recognizable celebrity players (like Valderrama, Baggio, Ravanelli, Petkov...), but their names are fictitious. You can choose too from 16 formations and 8 strategies to win.
The competitions available are: International Cup, World Series (League), Scenario Mode and customizable mini-cups/leagues.
[edit] List of differences between ISS and ISS Deluxe
The Deluxe version, released in the same year as ISS, contains several developments over the original. These changes refer to the SNES version.
- It was made possible to play with two players co-operatively against the CPU
- Commentary was added, although it was basic and consisted of a few set phrases such as "Down the wing!" and "Blocked shot!", which sometimes played a little too late, to comical effect
- Player graphics and game AI were improved
- Substitution and player selection was improved, making it possible to tell the type of player being selected, striker, defender, etc.
- Activating one of the set strategies results in the name of the strategy appearing on screen
- Corner kicks and direct free kicks no longer have a few seconds before taking where the camera pans around the players. It was made possible to control panning before the kick is taken
- The timer shows a ring graphic which counts down the time in each half
- It is possible to tackle the goalkeeper when the ball is out of play, frequently (but not always) resulting in a red card
- Curling the ball became more pronounced, including the ability to curl kicks taken by the keeper
