Quite untypical football, because it gives the opportunity to create one's own player and then develop his skills. There are also classic play modes, such as playing a single match.

Virtua Pro Football is, of course, a product that deals with football. This game is much more complex than FIFA products. On the other hand, however, it is also far from the level of realism and complexity presented by the Pro Evolution Soccer series titles. The European branch of SEGA is responsible for the preparation of this game, which also prepared such titles as World Pool Championship, Football Manager 2006 or NHL: Eastside Hockey Manager. The presented product appeared only on the Old Continent. In addition, the game was created with PlayStation 2 owners in mind, so it was not converted to any other hardware platforms.

This product to offer has several very different modes of fun. Special attention should be paid to the Player Mode. It contains numerous references to popular role-playing games. In this mode, we are dealing with leading only one character. However, before this happens, we have to create it using the appropriate wizard. The player you own should then start training. The player must balance the factors in order to make the most of the benefits offered. When we start training, we take part in very simple mini-games, allowing us to develop our current skills and gain new ones. Every mini-game has some guidelines that we have to meet. However, the player must take into account the fatigue factor and the possibility of various types of injuries. There is even a friendly relationship with other players on the team, which has a positive effect on the mood of the controlled character.

For sympathizers of more classic forms of play, there are also several other modes. We can take part in various cups, single competitions or edit the composition of the team. Control is done in a rather classic way. Virtua Pro Football also has a fully fledged multiplayer for four people. To have fun you need to have a Multi-Tap. Visually, the game looks relatively poor, especially when it comes to animating players' behaviour. On the other hand, the stadiums were made slightly better.
