Released at the height of the 2002 FIFA World Cup and late in the PlayStation's life, the game features 32 national teams who have qualified for the 2002 World Cup with Captain Tsubasa-alike or superhuman soccer players that have at least two special powers, ranging from special passes to protective abilities to a boost in speed to auxiliary skills.

The player also has a few typical customizable options, but its main draw is the special abilities and team match-ups.

For example, the Danish team can make a Viking longship to temporarily block a path to goal and stop high balls.

When playing as the United States, a player can turn into the Statue of Liberty to prevent opponents from scoring.

The Saudis can make opponents slip on a large puddle of oil in reference to the country's oil wealth, while one of the Paraguayans' special abilities is also a reference to Shaolin Soccer, where the goalkeeper throws the ball straight at the goal, mowing down opponents along the way.
