FIFA 2000 (PC)

This game really is of the highest quality. The graphics are superb, as is the sound and commentry. The gameplay is also really good, and the number of teams and options makes the game good for a long while. You can buy and sell players, you can choose your penalty takers and corner takers. There is so much to do that you cannot get bored very easily. On the hardest difficulty level, the game is quite challenging, although you can overcome it with practice. The animation is excellent, and the action reaplys deserve a special mention. You can edit player names, and even the way players look, as well as the kits. You can even change the attributes ...  Read the complete review

This is yet another FIFA soccer game. As ever, the kits have been updated, there is a new tune (Robbie Williams this time) and new teams have been added. To be fair, the gameplay has been tweaked, and there are some new moves for players to pull off, and the computer AI has been improved. However, anyone who has ever played a FIFA game before will easily score goals in this game, as there are certain points on the pitch where it is harder not to score than score. The graphics have been improved, and the players look a lot more realistic and move a lot more smoothly. It is easy to pick up, and there are levels of play for all types of ...  Read the complete review

It’s coming home, it’s coming home, football’s coming home – or so someone thinks. Anyhow, if you watched England’s dismal performance in Euro 2000 and thinking that you could do better, berated your local team for losing a two-goal advantage or generally enjoy computer football games, then FIFA 2000 could well be the choice for you – that is, if it wasn’t so poor a game. I am sure that you’ll find plenty of reviews of this product claiming it to be the best PC soccer game ever. Well, even if this is the case – and I’m still sceptical – that’s hardly an accolade, is it? When was the last ...  Read the complete review

Before I start, I am going to try and be as objective as possible about this game. I'm going to give my opinion on the game itself and not on the fact that EA release a new version of the same game every year with negligible improvements. That's not the issue here, the issue is whether the game is any good. It is. It's a superb football game that's fast, fun and good looking and includes pretty much everything you'd want from a good footy title. It's good friendlies, seasons, championships etc for National teams and club teams and all the players are there, and they even look how they're supposed to look. ...  Read the complete review

When I first bought FIFA 2000, I was a bit pessimistic about the odd graphics on the box (its those players ears..), but I was looking forward to some good gameplay improvements over FIFA 99, which, although in my opinion a lot of fun, had a few flaws, although a good game overall (the various step-overs were a laugh though). Having played a few games of FIFA 2000, my sad conclusion was that EA have decided that the midfield is no longer a necessary inclusion, the game becoming far too much like a pinball game, ball one end, tap 'through pass' a few times, ball at the other, fun.. Some people will, of course, love this, action at both ends, constant shots on goal ...  Read the complete review
