Actua Soccer 2 or sometimes Actua Soccer 98 due to its capitalization on the 1998 FIFA World Cup was one of the many football titles released to capitalize on the 1998 World Cup, and once again included national teams, but a more polished engine (optimized in the PC version for 3D graphics cards), (in some versions) the full Italian Serie A league, and a new "scenario" mode assured good sales and mostly positive reviews.

This installment of Shiawase Usagi abandons the heroines of the two previous games in favor of characters curiously named after Neon Genesis Evangelion heroes: the protagonist is called Shinji, the love interests Misato and Asuka, etc. The plot, however, has little to do with that of the anime series: the hero is a young man who is watching a porn movie and decides to get some real "action". Afterwards, it becomes a series of sexual encounters, which proceed depending on the player's choices.
Being a visual novel, the game can develop into different directions story-wise. The only gameplay consists of deciding where to go and/or what to do. Depending on the player's decisions, the story will be concluded with various endings, "happy" as well as "bad".
