He cited the smooth and accurate control, realistic player moves, camera which consistently zooms in or out to the perfect frame at every moment of play, "gorgeous" texture-mapped players and backgrounds, and realistically strong defense. He gave it four out of five stars.Virtua Striker 2 was a major arcade hit in Japan, where it became the second highest-grossing arcade game of 1998, below Tekken 3''.
