• Responsiveness of player control and ball "action" improved. The pace of the game runs faster than Winning Eleven 5 Final Evolution. 
• Realistic field action: Players stumble and exhibit many new lifelike animations whilst diving, tackling, and intercepting. 
• Improved passing and dribbling; opposition also plays smarter. The long pass can now be controlled in terms of power and direction.
• Training modes feature running through cones, free kicking, and passing. Practice and hone your skills before entering competition.
• Trading of players involve negotiations, haggling, etc.

   According to the story of Zettai Zetseumai, Japan started construction on a man-made island near Tokyo in 2001. Dubbed Capital Island, the new territory promises to ease some of the space constraints in Tokyo. After years of construction and migration, Capital Island bustles with activity in 2005. Half a million strong, the population settles in amongst a backdrop of modern metropolitan conveniences, towering buildings, and everything you'd expect in a major city. That's when you come in. As a reporter for a major Tokyo newspaper, you're en route to your new assignment when an earthquake destroys the city. Trapped in the middle of what was once Capital Island, you figure it'll be a wise thing to try and find a way back to Tokyo. Two major enemies work against you: creaky infrastructure and thirst. Making your way through the city, you'll encounter crumbling roads, death drops on bridges, and dodgy buildings waiting to collapse. All of your exertion and walking brings on dehydration so you'll need to continually find sources of water to keep from dying of thirst. ZZT presents a unique concept which is executed superbly and keeps the level of suspense and foreboding intact throughout the game.

   Viewed from a 3/4 overhead perspective, Klonoa's turn in Beach Volleyball plays a decent game. Not particularly special and not particularly rancid, it's...decent. Volleyball is not an easy game to reproduce on video. Reaction times, spatial variables, and mediocre execution all conspire to make short work of most VB sims. Unlike other video VB games, Klonoa and pals may call upon their inner potential and dazzle opponents with special attacks and spice up the ball with their unusual powers. Spiking takes on new meaning when balls turn oblong due to the mighty velocity with which they're launched. Light contrails, lightning blasts, and other atmospheric fireworks provide fiery eye candy. 

   The Playstation conversion of CVS 2000 Pro can't compete against the Dreamcast version. There, we said it. Those who have played the DC edition will recoil at what Capcom has wrought - you're going to be disappointed. If you've never played it on the DC, you'll enjoy a good conversion of a Naomi original. On it's own merits, CVS 2 Pro plays well and features excellent control. Pull off combos, slap and run, or just pummel into your opponent. You'll perform like a smooth Dreamcast fighter. Some shortcomings are immediately noticeable however: The graphics are rougher and the animations of the smaller characters are missing frames. There's also more loading but it's to be expected...
