Olympic Soccer


Olympic Soccer is a 1996 association football video game developed by Silicon Dreams and published by U.S. Gold for the PlayStation. It was also released for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Sega Saturn, and DOS. A version for the Panasonic M2 was in development but never released because of the system's cancellation.

Gameplay

Olympic Soccer is a soccer game that enables maneuvers such as back-heel passes, one-two plays, bicycle kicks, and diving headers.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "if general entertainment ranks above true realism in your criteria for soccer games, Olympic Soccer will fit the bill precisely."
Next Generation reviewed the 3DO version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "It still can't compete with FIFA, especially given they're both available for 3DO, but for a fast-paced, exciting one- or two-player game, the 3DO doesn't have many games of this caliber."
