FIFA 10

Advantages: Hours of Play, Smooth Gameplay, Variety
Disadvantages: Commentary, Glitches (See review)

...As a fan of the FIFA series since the 07 edition I was looking forward to this games release well in advance, pre-ordering months before it was hitting the shelves. I generally start of disliking the new game in the series, not liking most of the changes and generally being in a strop about how they've made everything worse - this year was no different. It's mainly because I get beat all the time when I first start playing. Onto the game itself : ~~~Gameplay~~~ The big change this year is the addition of '360 dribbling'. This is different because instead of only being able to move in 8 different directions in previous titles (45 degree increments), you are now able to move much more freely in just about any direction you want. To take advantage of this though, you can't be sprinting, which at first really annoyed me, thank...

Lets Fifa 10

Advantages: An almost perfect football simulation
Disadvantages: Some would say its Fifa 09 all over again

...Introduction I wasn't intending on getting Fifa 10 until Christmas but when I saw it advertised for under £25 on the day of release, I had to rush out and buy it as I knew it would never be as cheap as this again until well after Christmas. I had played the demo a few weeks before the actual release, and while the game was good, it didn't look that much different from Fifa 09 which I had only owned for 6 months. With this scepticism, I loaded the game up and began wondering if I had just paid £25 for the same game. First Impressions After sitting through the introduction of Wayne Rooney evading a slide tackle from Frank Lampard, you get to the main menu. Now call my cynical but it appears that Electronic Arts may also think that consumers will have trouble identifying the new features of this game as they have...

The Best FIFA game of them yet

Advantages: Advanced version of 09' which was still awesome.
Disadvantages: Hard to play the game and adapt to the changes from FIFA 09. Passing, Dribbling etc...

...FIFA 10 is an even more advanced version of FIFA 09, believe it or not. I can stay up for hours playing this game and the only thing that would stop me from playing would the need for sleep. I thought FIFA 09 was deadset the best FIFA game I had ever played. But this version has exceeded my expectations ten-fold. Not a whole lot has changed tournament wise, online wise or area wise however The new manager mode and the new BAP (Be a Pro) mode where you can put your own face on the player which you have created is an effect I never thought I would ever see happen in the gaming industry. EA have done it all with this game and it is a MUST play. In this game it seems like you have to fight for the ball more than you would in any other game. If the player who is marking up against you is a STRONG opponent he will win the ball 80...

Review of FIFA 10 (PS3)

The Fifa v PES battle continues (FIFA 09 Xbox)

Advantages: Very realistic. Great online play
Disadvantages: Referees too strict, getting kicked from 10 v 10 online games.

...Background I remember when the first version of Fifa International Soccer (as it was called then) appeared on consoles in the early to mid 90?s. Its 45 degree angle pitch and amazing graphics blew everything away in its path. Every year from here on in, Electronic Arts sports division, EA Sports have taken the previous years offering and tweaked it slightly. Early on there wasn?t much real competition, Sensible Soccer came and went but Fifa was the only game serious football fans talked about. Towards the end of the 90s? Konami attempted to break EA?s hold on the football market with their game, Pro Evolution Soccer. This was to be the start of one of the biggest debates in recent gaming history between sports fans. Suddenly this new kid on the block was seriously threatening Fifa?s crown. Gamers were either in the Fifa...

Fifa 09

Advantages: Fixed Gameplay
Disadvantages: None

...Fifa...the name brings a shudder to my poor younger brother. every time he hears the word he shivers and begins mumbling to himself...but why? Well I'll tell you...because every August since 2001 my innocent sap of a brother has forked out an average of £30 for a Fifa title...Yes...Unfortunately my younger sibling is one of those mindless drones who happily forked over his hard earned pound coins for a title that only differs from it's previous effort by the number written below the word "Fifa" on the front cover. As recently as 2007 my younger sibling had had enough, after a day he took FIFA 08 back to the shop and demanding a full refund stating (rather loudly) "It's no B****y different to the last game!". That's why, when my brother decided to buy Fifa 09 (I know, he may have acted like he had cajones on that one occasion but...

Fifa 09

Advantages: Excellent graphics, awesome gameplay, loading screen arena
Disadvantages: can't think of any disadvantages

...EA sports have really moved up a gear with this game in my opinion. The overall gameplay is awesome as they have made the gameplay much faster which makes for a more exciting, easier to play gaming experience. The graphics are improved as the detail of the players and their kits is really quite magical. The online gameplay is exceptional, especially clubs where you can set up a team with your friends and play other teams around the world. Also the Be a Pro gaming style is really enjoyable as you focus on a single player for the season and build up his stats and reputation. The music choice in game is really effective and the skins and backgrounds for the menu is improved from last years Fifa. In my opinion this is one of the best games out there at the moment and is a must have for any gamer, it is also much better than...

Review of FIFA 09 (Xbox 360)

Has FIFA created the best FIFA so far?

Advantages: Detailed graphics
Disadvantages: lacks that game play of its earlier versions

...Playing FIFA 10 for the first time when it came out was abit of a dissapointment to be honest. I felt the game was good to play as it brought new characterisitcs to the game but it lacked that edge that FIFA 09 brought when comparing to the version before hand. I feel that FIFA have concentrated to strongly on creating better graphics that it lacks that excellent game play that FIFA's rival Pro Evo is so good at developing. Yes Pro Evo has its draw backs that FIFA strives in such as graphics and that extra detail what creates an excellent game so i still agree FIFA is the better game. The biggest problem that FIFA has is that it ignores the important area what gaming needs; the simplicity. Can you remeber FIFA 99 for the Playstation 1, how amazing was that game? The reason was the simplicity, the game was unique, it ignored the cutting...

Fifa 09

Advantages: Graphics, Gameplay, Modes, Online
Disadvantages: Camera Angle, Training mode

...This is the first fifa I have owned since the fifa 98 days, as I had become very much a Pro Evolution player. I heard good things about this game, so thought i'd give it a try, and must say it has lived up to the praise! The gameplay is amazing, so realistic, and has moved up a level from pro in my opinon. There is so much to the game as well, the dribbling, the skills, the shooting etc just makes the game feel more real. I think the best thing about the game is the 'pro' mode, this allows you to have a career (4 seasons) with one player, who you control in match days, and aim is to improve him as a player, this is fantastic option, and makes the game more enjoyable for one player. This is very good because on previous experience of football games i could never play for long spells on my own. The online makes this game great...

Review of FIFA 09 (Xbox 360)

Fifa 09

Advantages: The players are not as sluggish as in Fifa 08. They are more resposive and free flowing.
Disadvantages: Graphics could still be improved.

...Fifa 09 is a big change from 08. It offers many new features including the be a pro seasons where a player plays through multiple seasons to ultimately become a legend. This game also gives the user a chance to win trophies for ps3 and achievements on xbox 360. Another brand new feature this game offers is Ultimate Team, where the user is able to form his/her team by winning games and purchasing new players. The team start of small but can then expand to become the ultimate team. Users can play in online and offline tournaments to become the best. I feel that the online experience is also very good for both xbox 360 and playstation 3. I personally find the be a pro online mode very good, where you take control of one player and play with a team against up to nineteen other players at the same time. This game also gives you a chance to...

Fifa Manager 2007 Computer Game

Advantages: Super impression of being a football manager
Disadvantages: Fairly addictive game once started.

...FIFA Manager 2007 (PC) Introduction Here the game involves starting off as a new manager for a club of your choice. There are so many British, European, and other International sides to manage. The game involves almost every aspect of managing a football side. This game is not an action sports game like FIFA 08, this simply involves managing a football club. The choice of which team to manage, is yours. Upon starting a manager is given a budget to work with, fan's and the club's directors expectations level to meet. The ambition of a team such as Manchester United or Chelsea would usually be to finish in the top 3 of the league or to win the Premier League in that season, or win the Champions league etc. If failing to meet these expectations, or losing too many matches, the manager is sacked. If people do well, people can...
