Fifa 98 Road To The World Cup review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge.
Still constantly play this game with my friends along with nhl 99, true classics!!
Back in the days when I thought those graphics look like real life...
We all did...
I loved the Dutch team of '98 and I think they never had a squad quite as good afterwards (although they did get better results with other teams) : Edwin van der Sar, Danny Blind, Jaap Stam, Michael Reiziger, Frank de Boer, Clearance Seedorf, Edgar Davids, Aaron Winter, Patrick Kluivert, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Pierre van Hooijdonk, Marc Overmars and Dennis Bergkamp - all were supreme players.
Also is my favorite team in both Fifa 98 and WC 98.
Don't forget Cocu, Ronald de Boer, Ed de Goey, Hesp, Numan, Bogard. That WC team was awesome, still my favorite from every tournament I have ever seen.
@@mgoogyi Indeed the team of france 98 was in my opinion the best ever however the squad of 2000 was nearly the same. Kluivert and Bergkamp couple was made in heaven. They could have won both tournaments with more luck on their sides.
The weather effects do look very good.
That game was so iconic, especially the indoor pitch. Wonderful memories 🙌🏻
"Iconic"???🤣🤣 Are you having a laugh?? It was terrible!
@@dommidavros2211 Different strokes for different folks.
I loved the game.
I loved the indoor games!
This was a 10/10 game for its time....loved it! Best soccer game during N64/PS1 era.
If I remember correctly, you can tap the c-buttons after scoring a goal to let the crowd play drums, tut horns and chant - the typical fan reactions. It's deinitely in FIFA 99 but I think it worked in 98 as well.
super late reply but I just discovered that you can also press b repeatedly when enemy score a goal, and your supporters will start booing at them. Pretty funny stuff
WHY....DID....I NEVER KNOW THIS!!
actually got this game from a bootsale not too long after release, and had a blast with it with my cousins, would stay up all night just playing this, mario party. we was still playing this game all the way to 2003. who ever lost would make us all a cuppa .
My favorite N64 football game!
I think for fifa 99 was better than 98 on n64
@@n64glennplanttrue 99 is better but I love the FIFA games with World Cup focus even more than the regular FIFA games.
This is the games that got me into soccer. We used to turn the penalties off and someone had a code for no out of bounds where the ball would just bounce off the line. Played this hours on end so much fun.
I think this is one of the best sports games for the Nintendo 64,I love the control that you have over all the players. You can move them with ease and it adds a lot of skill ,The audio in FIFA really is a high point of the game. This time, the game has been provided with a surround-sound option, and it really shows - especially during the matches.
Didn't this have an indoor 5 a side match?
It had.
The PS1 version of this game is by far one of the few footie games that I can tolerate playing and it's one of the best I've played with ISS 64 being my personal favourite.
I really enjoyed this game when it came out. The Blur intro got me energized and ready to play the game!
I loved this game, this might be my favorite football game of all time, even thought I enjoyed ISS 64 a lot. All the Fifa nations were available, and a lot of national leagues too. And I guess for the first time we could play national leagues, european champions league, world cup qualification and world cup itself in the same game ! Not even sure all these possibilities happened again, maybe on fifa 2002?
Honestly, this game was far better than fifa 64, and was a real challenger for iss 64, it just depended about if you prefered arcade of simulation. I was on simulation.
And Fifa '98 is the best because it reminds me such of nice memories related with this world cup that France won :)
Song 64 by Rulb. xD :P
Seems like a descent soccer game. Great review, Glenn.
2:55 The celebrations are great.
2:48 Guy jumps through another guy.
I remember this. Didn't play the N64 version though, played it on PS1. One of the last football games I played
Also every time you hear song 2 it always reminds you of this game lol
WonderboyF1 awesome song! and they have a new album coming out too :)
My favorite football game of all time, but not this version on N64, sadly. Ps1 and PC versions are much better. N64 version don't have soundtrack, commentary don't tell players names, controls are really bad on N64 controller, missing intro videos about every stadium...
Yup I remember standing in the playground with my mates slagging Mr Beckham off for that poncy kick he did
Gunnerholic my dad and mum went nuts...he threw it away for us...we should have won :(
Like how he knew WWF was at its best in 1998 lol
+Humberto 3:16 because I was born in the early 80s and 1998 was the best period in WWE history for me at that time
I'm from Germany. I was also born in the early 80s. My WWF time was between summer 1992 and early 1994, then I quickly lost interest, because I was more focused on football and Formula 1. The quality of the german team at the World Cup 1998 was horrible. Many old players in the squad like Matthäus, Köpke, Kohler, Reuter, Hässler, Klinsmann and so on. Even the english team had much more quality and until this day I don't get it why England lost against Argentina.
My and my friends would play it on pc... But fifa 98 was life
Those were the days hey
I remember my cousin and I, were absolutely blown away by the graphics on this. We must be about the same age, 25?
WonderboyF1 nah I'm 30 now :)
O Fenômeno was a joy to watch in the 98 and 02 WC's. As for my favourite football game it used to be PES 6, but this year's Pro Evo really blew me away. On a side note, who do you support Glenn?
Stringer Bell i support liverpool :)
So do I! Massive game tomorrow!
FIFA 00 best football game ever. Just because it had teams of the past in it. I would play as England 66. Best player to play at the World Cup is Pele
Indeed he summer of 98 was a fond one for wrestling and football fans …I.S.S 98 and WCW vs nWo revenge pretty much dominated our local area outside of school.
Great review…Favourite world cup player: Edgar Davids (he was immense that summer) and fav football game …I.S.S 2000 it's only flaw for me being the limited letter spaces for player names …Batituta for example always bothered me lol
Again fantastic review keep up the great work. : )
kanedasrifle davids was awesome...not to mention cool hair and his glasses :)
great review Glenn, my player as a kid was Lothar Matthias from what was then west Germany
I'm always an England fan, but Germany is right up there too. I know that seems like such a contradiction to some of my British friends. lol Even here in the States how can you not love the intensity of a match?
I remembered it had an indoor mode that was pretty cool back then
Was addicted to this game and as a Rangers fan I loved how Gazza was one of the best players in the game!
+benjimetalhed the man the legend! One of the all time greats so read his biography of you haven't already as its awesome!
I will have to!
The best World Cup player will always be Pele. I support the USA since I live in the USA, but watching old video of Pele play is astounding.
The World Cup 98 was such a fantastic tournament, and such great squad that both France and Brazil had at that time. I think that the best World Cup player must have been Pele. Winning all those world cups is something that will be hard to beat for a long time.
GuerilleroX i loved 98 too....england fans smashing up paris, binge drinking and great music of that year hah
You didn't mentioned the indoor stadiums. I think I haven't seen a futbol game that included a indoor section after fifa 98.
Sensible world of soccer on my Amiga 600 was my favourite football game. If we're gonna nit pick and say consoles only then I think I love pro evolution on the original xbox the most
mjfeder oh man thats one of my all time favs too!
What I didn't like about FIFA 98 was EA took out the indoor arenas of FIFA 97, Those were super fast games and had no throw ins/corners (the ball would just bounce off the wall) making for some action packed games.
I was also pissed when EA removed the gamebreaker powers from Tiger Woods. made the game boring as fuck.
But FIFA 98 did have indoor arenas...
KhazDamit ***** i know it was in 1997 but i too thought they removed it in fifa 98!?
***** Nope. When you select a team in Kick Off the first place that will come up is France. Go to the left and Indoor Arena is available to play. No throw ins, no corners, the ball never gets kicked out of play etc. I played it today with my mate destroyed him 5-2 great fun.
KhazDamit
Used to play indoors mode with my brother on PC. Good fun.
I remember playing this game only after playing FIFA World Cup '98 and thinking back at 11 years old that this version is superior.
And favorite player? Klinsmann or Matthaüs. I'll go with the later as I played sweeper all during high school even though our coach really had no idea what a sweeper actually is supposed to do haha
I've said this before being American I've never been a huge Soccer fan, but I did like watching the last World Cup, so If I see this one for cheap then I'll pick this up, and give it a go, so otherwise not a must have for my collection.
WE 4 for the PS1 is the best football game of 32/64 bits generation.
4th best football game on N64
Better 3 ?? Buying atm
Manchester united on fifa 99 n64 and I use to love penalties and win or lose just keep trying and mine was fifa 99 on the n64 it was really good shame it didn't go further and my favourite player is beckham and shearer
Utd are immense in this era, same as arsenal too. As a Liverpool supporter that pains me haha
The fog seems right at home for this game.
Speaking on the subject of resolution, I think it's sad the legacy of the Expansion Pak, which hoped to boost RAM limitations and graphical prowess worked at the cost of poorer framerates never functionally succeeded at doing the opposite, which hurt many N64 games it sought to help. Its legacy would be the vital thing that made DK64, PD and Majora's Mask playable instead of making those needed, chuggier games more palatable.
What a great World Cup it was. So many greats - Ronaldo, Zidane, Suker, Salas & Zamarano, Bergkamp, Batistuta, Rivaldo, David Batty.
The greatest ever World Cup player for me personally (as somebody who was born in 84) would have to be Ronaldo. As much I'd like to give it to a defender or midfielder, he was just awesome to watch in 98 and 02.
My greatest football game would have to be a tie between ISS 64 (for the nostalgia factor and because it was a revolutionary title), and Pro Evolution Soccer 3 on the PS2 (This was when the series hit its gameplay peak IMO).
thumper151284 he was an epic player, i was born in 84 too so we have the same era. i loved campos - mexicos keeper too, he wore awesome gear
***** Hey I love your video , brings nostalgia . And Jorge Campos is always on silly Mexican game shows and old spice and bread commercials (I know this because I live in Mexico) he's still a legend thoe
I don't know much about soccer. The last 2 soccer games i played were mario strikers on GC and mega man soccer on snes. strikers was good. Oh and 98 was a great year for a wrestling fan! I was all about WCW.
ISS 2000 was really good, but you needed a Complete Memory Card to Save... I Never get why third Partys used no Battery Save...
i think the main thing i hate about soccer games is how many people are on the field. it makes it so hard to get anywhere down the field without running into some jackass and getting it stolen.
I got this back when it released, got it early from a no name video shop, electronics boutique wasnt happy when I told them as the video store sold it too early before release day. Dont know why I got this as I already had ISS 64 which was better playability.
Hated it
i had this game it was so easy i couldnt stand it. iss 98 was so much more fun
Ollie Martin i preferred that too
Michael Owen's goal against Argentina
Hi,
Back to your question; Who is the best Football player ever? In my eyes it is MIRO KLOSE most Goals in World Cups and most World Cup appaerances (4 times). Best Football Game? Unfortunately, I didn't play a lot of Soccer Games. But for me the best Football Game is Fifa World Cup 2006 Germany ;-)
What your opinion on this questions?
Thanks
Andre ;-)
+Andre Eichstedt Klose was awesome in his prime, Gazza is my favourite partly for his personality but when he wasn't drunk he was incredible
Unfortunately, I don't even know this Player (Gazza). I am not so in to Football. I just watch it when the World Cup or European Cup is on.
I just like to say; your Videos are really great on the Nintendo 64. The N64 is my favorite Video Game Console of all time (so many memories).
By the way, I just picked some nice N64 stuff up, the Video on this comes tomorrow. I would appreciate it if you check it out.
Thanks for your reply
Andre ;-)
At 3:23 you referred to this game as FIFA 64.
"There are times you can breeze through entire defenses" - Maybe try playing against Brazil or France instead of Georgia or Moldova as you did in this video, Glenn... ;)
James Harvey haha i was doing the qualifiers!
Also, i gotta go with ISS 2 for gamecube as the best football game for me.
Best World Cup player... Diego Maradona, I don't think any player dominated a tournament like he did in 1986.
Or Pele, can't argue with three World Cup wins (even if he was injured in 1962).
i have world cup 98 on my n64 is a great game
Why not review world cup 98?
Favourite football game? Hmmm I played a lot of VR Soccer on the Saturn and this game. ISS was great and I have played a ton of the Fifa games on newer systems. Tough choice.
Gotta say my favourite footy game to this day is either UEFA striker on Dreamcast or Sensible Soccer on Master System
Gunnerholic UEFA Striker on Dreamcast is really good, great pic! Why does no one eve talk about this anymore?
I guess its the Same as everything else, the voice of quality gets drowned out by the masses, playing their FIFA and COD games in this instance.
I had this game and fifa 64 and didnt like either of them. I dont really like simulation sports games. But I still to this day play nba jam, blitz, and gretzky 3d hockey as those games and most arcade sports games havent aged imo
Also, indoor field is the best
Never got anywhere near ISS98 for me. At the time this was the poorer football game IMO. Great review anyway. :)
Aah, Road to the World Cup! EA really did get back on track with this one! As far as my fave footy game goes, I'll have to stick with ISS 64 however. World cup 98 on N64 and UEFA Striker on Dreamcast are up there too, mind you :-)
Best football player, hmm, Pele?
Noël Van De Maele what...not michael owens world league soccer? hah
***** Nope, still haven't played that one yet. Still need to add it to the collection. According to the Dutch version of N64 magazine it seemed pretty good however? I recall they were impressed with the Hi res graphics that were possible even without the expansion pack. Is it no good then after all? :p
Best football game? Nintendo World Cup (NES). The only football game to keep me interested for more than 5 minutes. Yeah.... I don't like sportsgames.
Real1 that was a great game!
Hmm... favorite Football/Soccer game on any system? I would have to say Super Mario Strikers on the Nintendo Gamecube.
MoreSkyler774 a good and unusual choice!
Mixed feelings with this game, as it is better than the previous iteration of Fifa, and the deep of customization and the great amount of options and teams and so is fantastic. But the gameplay is not near as fun and challenging as the Konami game. It was good to spent long hours in the night alone, but not so fun to play with your friends.
I have that game too
Much better than the travesty that was Fifa 64.
Did EA released two soccer games within the same year.
The other one World Cup 98.
Roll Tide!
lmao burn at the PK comment damn ! hahaha
I don't pay attention to soccer. Madden 64 was a bad football game on the console. My favorite EA games are NHL. NHL 13 for example you can have the brutal hits and just turn penalties off if you just want to go around and hit anybody that moves on the opposing team. I usually have penalties on.
Winning 7 Eleven on the PS2 is my soccer title.
By then, we already had Konami's efforts which although far from perfect, (or even fun to play) they were at least more realistic than this! The one thing about this which I thought was amazing at this time was the fact that there were SO many international teams and you could select which squad you wanted from a load of reserves, a good feature for it's time. This disappeared for FIFA 99!
The gameplay however was frickin awful Dodgy AI? That's the understatement of the century! I remember on world class difficulty the computer kicking off and just passing it straight to my Goal Keeper. The game was WAAAY too easy. Furthermore the way they ran was just crap! This was a real turd of a game on all levels from playability to graphics. I feel like an idiot for ever enjoying this!
Massively superior to the PS1 version which is a pixelated mess with awful tracking.
