Adidas Power Soccer is a football simulation video game developed and published by British developer Psygnosis and sponsored by German sportswear company Adidas. Released in 1996, the game launched versions for PlayStation and Windows.

Gameplay[]

Adidas Power Soccer used motion-captured animation for players in large, detailed stadiums.[1] The 1998 version included 34 stadiums and the main leagues of Europe, including Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga.[2]

Reception[]

In the United Kingdom, it was among the nineteen best-selling PlayStation games of 1996, according to HMV.[5]

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "If you're looking for the perfect soccer sim, Worldwide Soccer II is still the only choice, but Adidas Power Soccer is more than worth the purchase if you're in for some far-out arcade action."[1] GameSpot rated the game 7/10, stating that Power Soccer "rises high above the standard soccer fare... fans will love all the detail and options".[6]
