Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Ultimate Soccer
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Rage Software/Sega Sports
RELEASED:         1993
TYPE:             Sports (soccer)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Whilst Sega of Japan was busy with the J-League Pro
                  Striker series, Sega of Europe contracted Rage Software
                  to produce this excellent series of World Cup soccer sims
                  for the European market.

IMPRESSIONS:      Sega of Europe was so proud of thess game that they stuck
                  Sonic in them, and rightly so - these are among the best
                  arcade-style soccer sims to be found on a 16-bit console.
                  Graphics are small but well done, sound is excellent, and
                  gameplay is as fast and furious as a Sonic game.  If
                  you're tired of FIFA's realistic approach and need a
                  change, then fire one of these up and play ball!

VARIATIONS:       Ultimate Soccer (1993)
                  Striker (1994, aka Super Striker, Ultimate Soccer 2)

Beware, just watching this game can do your head in!

Yet, this game is a pretty decent footie title and worth owning if only for the novelty style of presentation. And then there's the fact that you can swerve the ball in a zig-zag motion straight into the goal, flumoxing the poor goalie who is still trying to come to terms with the complete irrelevance of ball physics! Top-notch entertainment!

I played this a lot when it first came out as I had overplayed European Club Soccer but when I played Ultimate Soccer recently it felt dated and not that much fun. The penalty shootout part on this game however is brilliant.
