Virtua Striker 2002 delivers a fast-paced, arcade-style take on soccer (football) with simplified controls and explosive action. While lacking the depth and realism of simulation-focused titles, Virtua Striker's pick-up-and-play accessibility and focus on quick matches offer a satisfying and fun experience. It features a wide roster of international teams and a Road to International Cup mode, but its presentation feels dated and the gameplay can become somewhat repetitive.
