    This is the first game I was played back when I was 6, and even now as 20 years old, the stage and feels of physics is just so unique, sim-cade feels as well arcade mode really made me enjoy it especially Impreza in this game that made me like racing game & motorsports

    Loved this game. I remember the camera angle bringing plenty funny moments. Like playing a frustrating pass to no one... only for it to turn into an amazing through ball as your guy ran into view.

    Kenya is, by far, my favourite rally in the whole game. Especially stage 6 of Kenya, which is my absolute favourite stage in the game. I also enjoy Italy, with its twisty stages. On the other hand, the UK rally is complete bullshit on Expert difficulty. The AI makes unrealistic fast times on the stages (AI Colin McRae is the biggest offender), which makes it completely annoying to race in and compete for overall victory.

    4:44 While it shows 18 sets of levels, there is a secret set. once you get through the 18 level sets shown, there is a 19th that becomes accessible by scrolling up off the top of the list. They are so stupidly hard that I have no idea if there is a 20th. And yes, I did it without using cheats. I played that game so much on my PS1 that the display at the bottom got burned into the TV screen. 7:17 Yup! Pop up, take some shots, go back in the bunker, repeat.

    To be fair, FIFA RTWC 1998 was actually the first really good Fifa game. It just so happened that ISS was way ahead of the curve right from their 1997 debut - by 1998, you had 2 great football games with ISS being the better. By ISS Pro Evolution Soccer, there was only one clear winner. Many would argue that it wasn't until FIFA '09 or FIFA '10 that they regained the crown. Still some decent Pro Evo offerings during that time but the writing was on the wall...gutting to have no competition these days!

    Absolutely love this game!! I went back to it recently. I use my PS3 when I'm playing PAL region PS1, - the Dual Shock 3 and Six axis controllers I have felt too spongy to use any of the old mashing techniques!! So I switched over to my modded/chipped PS1 but even then I just about qualified... 😮 Must be getting old!! 😂
