US international [[Cobi Jones]] appears on the cover of the American version. One final title, ''Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000'', appeared on the [[Dreamcast]]. However, instead of being developed in-house, [[Silicon Dreams Studio]] (who previously worked with [[Eidos Interactive\|Eidos]] on the [[UEFA Champions League video games\|UEFA Champions League]] series and also ''[[World League Soccer '98]]'') was given the rights to produce a game bearing the Worldwide Soccer name. An update titled ''Sega Worldwide Soccer 2000: Euro Edition'' (capitalizing on the popularity of [[Euro 2000]]) was released on the [[Dreamcast]] in Europe. ==Games== Line 46: \| align="center" bgcolor="green" \| 1995-07-08 \| align="center" bgcolor="red" \| No \| align="center" \| North American cover art name: ''Worldwide Soccer: Sega International Victory Goal Edition'' ~~(North America)~~<br> European cover art name: ''International Victory Goal'' ~~(Europe)~~ \|- \| align="center" \| ''Sega International Victory Goal'' Line 65: \| align="center" bgcolor="green" \| 1996-10-17 \| align="center" bgcolor="green" \| 1996-11-29 \| align="center" \| ~~Known~~Released in Japan as ''Victory Goal Worldwide Edition'' ~~(Japan)~~.<br> Released on PC as ''Sega Worldwide Soccer PC'' ~~(PC)~~ \|- \| align="center" \| ''J.

Line 103: ==Reception== ''[[GamePro]]'' gave ''Worldwide Soccer'' a positive review, praising the graphics, zooming camera, and the demanding gameplay, though they did criticize the "magnetic" dribbling and passing as being less realistic than the dribbling and passing in 3DO ''FIFA''. Out of 5, they gave it ratings of 5 for graphics, 4 for sound, 4.5 for control, and 4.5 for fun factor.<ref>{{cite ~~journal~~magazine\|title=Worldwide Soccer Rivals FIFA\|~~journal~~magazine=[[GamePro]]\|issue=83\|publisher=[[International Data Group\|IDG]]\|date=August 1995\|page=78}}</ref> ==See also==
