EA have managed, once again, to make a pathetic rehash of a previous title...Well done.
User Rating: 3.8 | FIFA Football 2004 XBOX
When I first played this game my jaw dropped. It was beautiful. There were scores of statistics and the menu format was fantastic. But then I played a match. It is AWFUL! The gameplay is sluggish, and the graphics are flat and totally abysmal all round. The players ook as if they have had sand paper rubbed over there face. The only good thing about them is the ball's physics. Now, the sound is fantastic, top class. From the in-game commntry to the fans chants, the sound is near perfect. As for lifespan.. well... after playing the game 5 times you will be totally bored of the slow and very easy gameplay. As for the massive 'Off the Ball control' PAH! It is pathetic! Absoloutley PATHETIC! You cannot possibly concentrate on the player you have the ball with AND the player making the run! Even if you could, the system is glitchy and terribly designed. So thats it for FIFA, do not buy this game it is disappointingly rubbish. Watching paint dry is more enjoyable than plying this shambolic attempt at a peice of software.
