I finally am able to say I have a favourite out of FIFA09 and PES2009 and the winner not surprisingly is Fifa. This game has managed to put together stunning graphics, presentation and a control system which has seen huge strides forward from last years offering (I love the ability to decide the strength of pass, cross, shot, etc through how long I hold the buttons) and with these all married up with the excellent commentary you are in an experience that is immersive. I sat playing this game over and over and then one day decided to take it online and found that this stepped the whole game up to another level as you then have the ability to take on all of the world and you truly see different tactics and different mentalaties - I took on the Dutch and saw passing galore then the next game took on West Brom and had a long ball opponent but it just makes the entire game all the more special. I love this game and am more than happy to recommend this as it is one of those games where you pick it up and love it from start.
