FIFA 98 improved in just about every category including graphics, sound, gameplay, and even overall game modes offering very detailed and realistic World Cup qualification competitions for every Confederation. It was a blast playing this game and taking a national team all the way from qualifying to winning the World Cup. Last but not least, this game had one of the most epic intro songs of its time with Song 2 by Blur.
