Goal Storm

About

Goal Storm is the original entry in the long-running football simulation series later known as Pro Evolution Soccer. Players take charge of one of 36 national teams across two main modes, direct matches or tournament-style play. Controls emphasize timing and precision, letting you maneuver through defenses and execute set pieces. The PlayStation version added improved graphics and team rosters compared to earlier titles, making it a step up for soccer fans on consoles. As the first game in a franchise that would define sports gaming for over two decades, Goal Storm holds a cult status among series veterans. Though it lacks modern features like online play or advanced AI, its core mechanics laid the groundwork for future entries. With a 7.2/10 average from retro reviews, it remains a curiosity for those interested in the roots of football game evolution.
