Actua Soccer 3

199845/100
Sport
This late-90s football title was a landmark for its time, successfully translating the beautiful game to three dimensions. Actua Soccer 3's player animations, though clunky by today's standards, were a leap forward, and the game's commitment to recreating the flow of a match was impressive. The series' legacy lies in its pioneering camera angles and the authentic feel of its gameplay, which made it a compelling alternative to arcade-style football games.

About Actua Soccer 3

Details
The last of the series, Actua Soccer 3 arrived in late 1998. For the first time, both club and national teams were present, plus other teams (such as Arsenal LFC) and various joke teams. While its predecessor had been criticized for the absence of club teams, Actua Soccer 3 featured a total of 25 leagues with 450 national and international teams, more than any game of the time except the earlier Sensible World of Soccer as well as over 10000 players. The graphics used a slightly improved version of the Actua Soccer 2 engine with much improved weather effects. Trevor Brooking was replaced by Martin O'Neill as Barry Davies' commentary partner. "Let Me Entertain You" by Robbie Williams was the only ingame soundtrack the classical operatic theme Cavalleria Rusticana (Rustic Chivalry) by Pietro Mascagni was played during the game's introduction video.
