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%
