Game InformerMost irritating is that when you try to steal the ball, your defender will be automatically repositioned in front of the guy dribbling. [June 2002, p.81]
-
Poor control with one camera angle does not make a great game. You can have all the features in the world but if you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it was all for not.
-
The rigid and debilitating controls work very much against the game. While it may be the prettiest soccer game on the Gamecube, it's not the best.
-
Nintendo PowerI found the actual play control sloppy, especially playing headers and shooting off a cross. [May 2002, p.132]
-
VS3 is all mouth and no trousers.
-
The entire control scheme hampers any fun that this game would have been, and is very disappointing!
-
Has come up just a little short of the goal once again.
-
Just average.
-
It plays fine in very brief bursts if you’re accustomed to the arcade, but for anyone else it’ll prove to be source of much anger.
-
More of a self-running soccer simulator than a soccer game. The computer takes care of the majority of the controls.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyIt's just too bad the menus and team customization options require more intensity and concentration than the actual game. [July 2002, p.122]
-
The close camera makes the game less of a sim in that passing is hit or miss. The AI tends to show hints of brilliance followed by complete idiocy.
-
Just isn't for me in part due to its mere two-player support, but mostly because of the frustrating controls. You just don't feel in control, and that's a major issue for a soccer game.
-
The game plays okay, but the controls seem to be just a half step behind, as if lag was occurring.
