FIFA 09 (PS3)

As far as I'm concerned theres only one game needed to thoroughly enjoy your gameing expereince. After the success of Fifa 08 EA Sports has come back with a stroke of genius, Fifa 09! Fifa is much more realistic this year, in my opinion the greatest sports game made. The commentry runs smoothly, passing is sharper and the glitches are to a minimum. New this season are the celebrations, you can choose your own depending on whether you score or not. Combinations of buttons decide whether you slide on your knees or do somersaults, a classic way of winding up opponents while you put in the third goal of your star strikers hat trick! Fifa Boasts one of the ...  Read the complete review

Fifa 09 is or was the latest Fifa game in the series and promised to be something special. Especially when put onto the Playstation 3. So there are a number of solid reasons as to why this game is extremely good. When you have got the game loaded you will find yourself in an arena area taking control of Ronaldinho at the centre circle with the ball facing a goalkeeper. This arena allows you to get used to the controls by doing various things, practicing tricks and trying shots. Quite a clever intro into the game really. Helpful if you want a quick mess about to pick up a few tricsk before heading into the game. From here you can skip through to the ...  Read the complete review

When you put football and PS3 in one sentence one thing springs to the front of my mind FIFA 09. There are so many aspects of this game that makes this game the best of the FIFA series. When you start up FIFA 09 you sart with choosing your favourite team and then you start by going into the arena with Ronaldinho of AC Milan. You can get use to the controls by shooting in the arena against a goalkeeper or you can skip to the main menu. When on the main menu you have options to choose from including game modes, settings and kick off. When you go onto game modes you can select from "Be a Pro", "Manager Mode", "Create a ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a huge fan of Pro Evo and in many ways I still am, but due to all my mates having converted to the dark side that is Fifa, I thought it would be best if I purchased this game as well so I could them give them a good old school beating whenever we played Fifa. Hence this review is about my experience and a few comparisons with Pro Evo 09. The first thing I realized is how polished the menus are. I know EA sports seem to always take pride in their menus, and the problem they used to have is that they made the game look amazing, but the playability was lacking. In recent years they have turned it around and it is good they have still kept the ...  Read the complete review

I love football, and as a girl, do pretty well for myself...I know the offside rule (and can make a reasonable 'interfering with play' argument with the best of them) But I suck at football games. I dont know why...actually i do...I keep forgetting to swap players! my goalkeeper does nothing when a shot goes at him, cos the midfielder over on the right is running round in circles while I try to figure out what button to press. I get very confused very easily, so my other half decided that I would learn. I sat through the training academy, worked out that while X is shoot in every game in the world, it is not the case with football, X is the most ...  Read the complete review
