Like myself i have played and enjoyed FIFA games on a range of conseles for the past few years, but i have never seen one as good as this. For those of you who have never played a fifa game before, it is all a football simulator with most leauges and all the teams in the leauges with every player currently in that team. Hate it when a player swaps and you dont have the up to date ones in your game? Well now you don’t have to worry as at the press of a button it will connect to the internet and update every player in every leauge. if that wasn’t enough you can even have the real world sport scores on the bottom of the screen while you play. There are only are a few licensed stadiums , but there are some unlicensed ones you can make to look like your faviorte team that is not on there. There are lots of modes like kick off where you just have a single match, or manager mode or leauge mode where you get to be a manager and pick your team your want to lead to victory and make all the decisons like the sponsor and players and formation. You can also pick a default team so you don’t have to select it every time you play.

I also just have to say how brilliant the graphics are on here. When the camrea gets quite close you can see how much detail EA have put into this game. There are lots of diffrent views to choose from which all work really well. There is lots of effort on like at the menu and the load screen you get to be Ronaoldinio and practice shots at a goalie. It is pretty detailed and shows that EA havent just rushed to get this out quick for footy fans. However there are bad things like the crowd are half of the time not even there and when they are there they just look like cardboard with paint on but what do you expect from a crowd? There is a dramatic diffrence to other consels, but the graphics are the same compared to the Xbox 360 and PSP. I has got a lot of bad reviews form other places, but i think it deserves a good one.

FINAL VERDICT:

Graphics: Great and lots of detail makes this game more fun to play.

Gameplay/ Controles: Work well with some good button choices.

Music: Some good music choices and the commentating mathes the on screen action really well.

 Stunning graphics

 Nice”Extras”

 Suberb Commentray

 Every player of most teames

 Not all the lower teams

This is a game for all footy fans but is exactly the same as Xbox 360 and is mostly the same as the PSP version.

Score: 90%

Ratchet And Clank: Tools Of Destruction Review By Alex Adams

Publisher: SECA

Developer: Isnomanic Games                                       

Age: 7+

RRP: £49.99

Cheapest Place: £34.98: www.amazon.co.uk

Online Play: No

SIXASAS Compatity: Yes

Multiplayer: No

Genre: Adventure

Ever Since this game was said to be released on the PS3 i have always being willing to get it when i got a ps3. Although there is quite a expensive price tag this game is worth every penny. Ratchet and Clank is all about one furry guy and his robot friend, clank. In this game the evil empror attacks the worlds to try and vapororise Ratchet with help with help from lots of enemies. You then have to go through worlds and shoot all the enemies and collect thing with some ausome weapons which range from machine guns to big bombs. One of my faviorte weapons is the grooviton which basicaly fires disco balls which distracts them so you can kill them. The SIXASAS control is good as on some weapons you actually have to use the controller to control it where you want.

          

                                  A stunning screenshot of this exellent game

If you thought it was just a boring shooting game then you thought wrong, it is all set in futuristic locations as well as some old ones, and the guns arent just guns they are very futuristic and feauture alot of detail. Another great thing is the breathtaking graphics, they show so much detail. There is also loads of bits you don’t see, like above you there are cars moving around which means have really tryed to make this the best game they can. You also collect bolts when you kill enimies or open a box, you can then buy guns with them or buy ships. This is a exellent game and should be the first you buy if you buy a PS3 or if you already have one.

FINAL VERDICT:

Gameplay: Great fun as you go through diffrent levels to kill the enemies.

Graphics: As you would expect from a PS3, but this game is truly stunning.

Music: Not much to say here but just normal game music.

 Great fun levels

Exellent weapons with lots of detail

 Stunning graphics

 Sometimes a bit too easy

 Stunning detail in every level

This one of the best games on the PS3 and like i said should be a must own for PS3.

Score: 92%
