FIFA 09 (Xbox 360)

Any one will tell your that when it comes to football games your either a Pro Evolution Soccer player or your a Fifa player. You cant be both as it just does not work like that. For years the battle has been ongoing between Electronic Arts and Konami for who could produce the best football game each year. For many years it seemed like Konami had the upper hand as their game was more playable and user friendly compared to the Fifa titles. I have been a loyal Pro Evolution fan myself over the years but just like everything else in life things change and so do games. After being a bit disappointed in last years Pro Evolution, I constantly had my ...  Read the complete review

I used to scoff at Fifa. Smug and superior, I dismissed it as a mere scuff on Pro Evolution Soccer's shinpad; a soulless exercise in licence-whoring drudgery with nothing to distinguish between each release. Frustratingly my mates all loved it - pouring over close-up preview screenshots of a faithfully horrific looking Wayne Rooney every September like this was the key constituent of a great footballing simulation experience. "What about the gameplay?" I'd protest in vain. "What about the licences?" they'd retort. Yet over the last couple of years, the yawning chasm between the respective A-list football titles has been closing. Until Fifa ...  Read the complete review

FIFA games have become the corner-stone of Football (or Soccer) games in the World, right now. With only this and Pro Evolution Soccer on the market as current Generation games, there is an element of competition between the two, as they battle for supremacy in the market.

And with the engines birth came problems. And even though it was an arguable change ...  Read the complete review

I first had a playstation before my xbox and was massivel in favour of the Pro Evo Soccer gaes rather than the Fifa. But its simple, as soon as i got the 360, i bought fifa and Pro evo. It was no contest of which one was better, it was easily fifa by a million miles. The graphics and gameplay along with many other things totally make the makers of Pro Evo look terrible. The modes tht are available in fifa are also better and more enjoyable. When you are with your friends, fifa is always a game that you will never tire of playing ... winner stays on haha Here is my advice of the day, if you are debaing whether to get the fifa games or the pro's .... do not ...  Read the complete review

this game came bundled with my xbox360 package which i bought it december 2009, well what can i say about this game is that if you are a true football fan you just have to get this game, EA took this game to another level with this new edition of fifa 09, the players models on this game looks fabulous as they have improved it since the last edition this time you can actually tell what players are on the ball due to the way they move for example i like how Cristiano Ronaldo the way he takes his freekick just like real life. Another thing i like about this game how your team mates look for space around the pitch and signal for the ball to be played at their ...  Read the complete review
