Released in Europe this March, Konami's ISS Pro Evolution 2 is the sequel to ISS Pro Evolution which itself was released in North America and Europe about a year ago. Programmed by Konami's KCET team, ISSPE2 (also known as 'Winning Eleven 2000 U23 Medal heno Chousen' in Japan) improves upon its brilliant predecessor in almost every aspect and sets the standard for soccer games to come. In ISSPE the franchise-like Master League consisted of one 16-team division comprised of European club teams. KCET have now added 8 more teams (including two South American teams) and a second division. The featured teams are Liverpool, Manchester United, Leeds, Arsenal, Chelsea, Juventus, Inter, Lazio, Fiorentina, Milan, Parma, Roma, West Ham, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Monaco, Marseille, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, River Plate, and Vasco de Gama. The inclusion of mediocre West Ham is incredibly puzzling, and I would much rather have seen Deportivo, Schalke, PSV, or Boca Juniors featured instead.
