FIFA 07 (Nintendo DS)

I'm 20 years old and recently bought a DS second hand and it came with this game.

I have to say, I'm rather disappointed with it.

Having also played Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on the Sony PSP recently, I'm shocked at the difference in quality. I knew that the DS doesn't have as vivid graphics as the PSP, but to me it just comes across as a bit of a shabby game, and because of this I've only played it once or twice since getting it.

When you begin the game, it seems great - the start up music is really cool and there's a very decent selection of teams to select from all over the world including all the big ones like Man Utd and Barcelona. Upon selecting your teams you then begin the match - the match itself is displayed on the top screen and the game stats etc and displayed on the touch screen.

As you begin the game, you realise that it is in fact not that great.

The players appear very small on the screen and even when it zooms in to i.e. show your goalkeeper taking a goal kick, it shows a rather basic and slightly jagged image. Also the commentry is boring and often repetitive, and the touch screen showing the stats flicks on and off during the game to update when the ball's gone out of play or there's a replay to show.

Basically, it's ok if you're looking for an alright football game and aren't planning to play it all the time. If football games are your favourite though, I think you've got the wrong console. Nothing can beat the graphics for high-detail games like Fifa and PES on consoles made by Sony.
