Reception
| Publication | Score |
|---|---|
| Edge | 8/10[3] |
| Extreme Playstation | 94/100[1] |
| Sega Saturn Magazine | 94/100[4] |
Edge gave the game a review score of 8/10, praising its "detailed" control system, arguing that "once mastered, individuals should find its passing system can be used to craft an intricate play, with one touch passes and the comprehensive heading possibilities rapidly becoming second nature".[3] Extreme PlayStation rated the game as 94/100, writing that "it's not instantly accessible, so if you want something to just boot up and play- without using any brain-power, purchase a game with a number and an animal in the title. If you're looking for the ultimate footie simulation that taxes your reflexes, stamina, and grey matter, WLS 98, is da maan!"[1]
