International Superstar Soccer Pro (also known as Winning Eleven '97 in Japan and Goal Storm '97 in USA) is a football simulation game released in June, 1997 by Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, Inc. It was the first from the ISS series to hit the Playstation platform. The game features a 32 international teams, 4 different stadiums, 13 team formations along with 8 unique strategies and a choice of Exhibition Mode, International League, International Cup and a Penalty Kick mode. It can be played as a one or two player game. It gained very high reviews which consider ISS Pro as the most playable soccer video game on Playstation of that time.
The game was well-known for its comical commentary, voiced by Peter Brackley. Some examples of this included:
* "Well, the goalkeeper had to save that one."
* "He's got lead in his boots today."
* "Rather him than me."
* "That was a studs up challenge if ever I saw one."
* "With not much cloud cover, they would probably play from the light of the moon!"
* "What a poor example of poor officials."
* "Already 20-seconds into the game and still no real action!"
* "That boy's got a steel skull!"
* "IT'S A THROW IN TO ... Italy."
* "He must have double-vision to be shooting like that!"
International Superstar Soccer Pro includes 35 different international teams based more likely on their real equivalents of season 1996/1997 with accurate home, away and goalkeeper kits featuring manufacturer logos and national emblems. The line-up of each team consists of 16 fictional players.
The only difference with this game and World Soccer Winning Eleven '97 is that this one got teams of the Japanese league and the other got nationals teams that can play the World Cup.
