The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

This is the 2005, and last, edition of the "World Tour Soccer/This is Football" game series. It allows you to take an existing team and take control of them and guide them through a season by season basis. You can also create a new team, mold it in every detail, from kit to player. From there, you start off in the school league and earn league titles and promotions through the national leagues of your choice. As well as leagues, you can take part in all the major club and international knock out tournaments, such as the Champion's League, Euro Club Cup and the World Cup. It also now includes the ability to create a digital mask of yourself using the EyeToy play camera and apply it to a new player or any existing player of your choice.
