The idea of the new FIFA football game coming out is an exciting one. It was first written on my christmas list. It had excellent graffics when I first purchased and I was impressed. As I played on the game more I got more and more fustrated at how slow it was getting. Maybe it was my crap computer but with a p700 computer I very much doubt it. I got very bored with the game in about a week and for a christmas present that is not very good value for money. Not a game to hope too much from. ...  Read the complete review

I am currently in posession of this game, in one of those "long term" loans from friends that we all take out so much! This is a quality game, the most football-like football game that I have ever played. I love the fluidity of it, and at the same time, all the special moves that have been built in around it. At the same time, after a bit of playing with the special moves, the game is best played realistically, keeping it as simple as possible. That is when you will derive the best satisfaction from it. Also, it is good to have a control pad for this game. That is an opinion that EA sports write in the manual. Get a decent 6 button pad. You can get one ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a big fan of Fifa, but after playing Fifa 99 i was a bit dissapoited. There just all the same. But i must say that the version is much tougher than fifa 98. There are still many leagues to choose from, Different teams to choose and your team selection. But its just lacking something. To run this game you need pentium 200mhz, 8x cd-rom drive, 32mb ram and 150mb of free hard disk to save your game. Commentry again on this game is annoying. Still the big question, where is Ronaldo? He still doesn't feature in the game. To be honest you either like the game or you don't. It's your choice. My opinion buy it if your a die hard footie fan.  Read the complete review

Fifa 99 is a very addictive game but is quite easy even though you can change the difficulty level. The graphics are reasonable and the addiction level is very high. It has some special moves like dizzy spin e.t.c. which you can find at www.game-revolution.com or in the instruction booklet. You have the option of playing in an international competition or a national competition with teams like Arsenal and Blackburn you can also play against friends netowrked. ...  Read the complete review

Released in November of 1998, Fifa 99 promises much but delivers more than the last two/three?? offerings. The good points are many making it one of the best footie games out there, with pixel perfect passing, good AI (or at least as good as the current 2001 AI level) and will be at a good price (£5 from a bargain bin anyone!). Unlike Fifa 2001 it doesn't at all feel as rushed. The AI is very good, although goals seem odd when compared to real football (sometimes appear almost impossible) while tackling is a slide in affair and sometimes games can deteriorate into a non ending midfield battles or long distance shot taking. It is great fun ...  Read the complete review
