Fifa was all style but now its all substance too......read on......
Well it all started when pro evo 6 was released which turned out to be the beggining of the end for me. Pes 6 was average at best but so too was fifa 07 but then pes 08 came out and that was even worse where as fifa 08 was actually good and ended up being the first fifa game I bought since fifa 99!
And then...........pes 09 demo.........pure gash!
Which left me with fifa 09 which is..........pure gold!
so from now on pro evo will be avoided like AIDS, cancer and Man-flu rolled into one!
Anyway im gonna break this review down into pros and cons and i think i will start with the cons as i like to get the bad out the way.
CONS
Keepers are more massimo Taibi than Pepe Reina (Liverpool fan here!)
Refs are card happy! Dishing out yellow and red cards left right and centre
Like all online games you are gonna get idiots that cheat, lag, quit, talk crap down the mic etc etc and fifa is no exception although that it more down to people rather than the game offering a poor online experiance.
Commentating gets rather annoying especially andy gray!
PROS
Licensed teams, kits, players, stadiums etc are spot on!
Graphics are good.
Online is spot on as long as your not playing a cheating numpty. Playing against your mates online is almost always perfect.
10v10 is fantastic if not a little messy but that just adds to the fun!
Be a pro mode is brilliant!
Game isnt too quick and arcady but isnt frustatingly slow either. The pace is just right.
Playing against the COM on legendary is pretty challenging.
Playing against your mates and scoring a beauty is still amazingly satisfying
Basicly the game is a hoot and i would recomend it to everyone thats into football as its the best footie game out their.
it used to be "fifa for show, pes for a pro"
now its "fifa for show and for a pro" oh and "pes is pish poor"
