    This Is Football's gameplay was quite smooth making this game a very playable alternative to EA's FIFA.
    It also featured highly fleshed out edit and creation features allowing players to create custom tournaments and teams. Players could also save replays to the Playstation memory card to be viewed later.
    This Is Football went on to be quite succesful spawed a sequel on the Playstation and even another sequel on the Playstation 2.
    However, the lack of real innovation in the sequels prevented this franchise from fulfilling its potential.
