FIFA 09 (DS)

Fifa 09 is a football game for the Nintendo DS. The DS might not seem the best console to play football on, but I was surprised how easy it was to pick up, and how many options were available, even though of course it can never rival the Fifa games for the larger consoles. In terms of the game play, there are certainly lots of different options.

There are numerous different leagues to play in, including the top four UK divisions, as well as leagues from Germany, Spain and Italy. ...  Read the complete review

Ive been playing on Fifa for years now, usually on my big screen TV on the Playstation, so when I got my DS and Fifa 09, I was a little bit dubious as to whether or not it would be as good.

There are options from Manager Mode which you need to win matches and earn prestige points to make your manager's rating go up as well as your team's ...  Read the complete review

When I got this as a birthday gift I was hoping it was going to be every bit as much enjoyable as all the other versions on different consoles , I was addictied to the PSP version and after opening up this little gem and poppong it in my DS I was in love once again, true I found the graphics were not as good but for the system that it is on this is to be expected I found the main menu very easy to use and after starting the manager mode I ended up doing half a season in a day. I loved the fact that after a few weeks you could train your players as well as unlocking more features along the way to increase trainging etc, when playing the game itself it is ...  Read the complete review
