==Gameplay==
 
''World Championship Soccer II'' is almost an entirely different game compared to its predecessor. Rather than play from an overhead perspective the game opts for a sideways-on approach, and the pitch is notably smaller. There are more playable teams but is otherwise a very basic football game.
