About the Game

Originally released in 1997, Actua Soccer 2 continued the series with fast-paced, exciting football simulation, motion capture by a young Michael Owen, and involvement by Alan Shearer - who picked out his very own dream team from the history of the Beautiful Game. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. This particular version was originally published for the PlayStation.

Gameplay

Play the 97/98 international season, a custom season, a cup, friendly or practice sessions. Play with one of 11 national teams, Alan Shearer's hand picked All Star team (featuring such greats as Beckham, Bobby Moore and Pele), or your own custom team.

Supports up to 4 player local co-op (separate game controller required for each player).


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
