I liked the game in the beginning, the multitude of tactical options, the complexity but in the end it fails in it's basic. Though it's complex without being difficult it fails in it's basics: it has poor loading times in which after a while you find yourself doing nothing, a loading bar or some idea of what it's loading would have been nice, at least you would have known what it is the game is making you wait for. You can't watch the matches in the classic way that is ONLY COMMENTARY, i don't understand why i have to watch the match in 3d way or with blimps. At first watching 3d games is fun but after a while they get boring because of all the bugs, player have the tendency to shot lobs, to move funny, to bump into each other, to pass the ball with the wrong side of the foot to bicycle kick the ball from outside the box (!?!), to hit the bar - i mean i never saw so many bars hit in 5 matches (that's all i could watch). After 5 matches that pretty much looked the same i stopped caring and selected to watch nothing at all because it all felt so unnatural. I liked it but then started to resent it, i really tried to move over it's problems but the big loading time before matches kept reminding me that it's not a great game, maybe the should have kept working on it for another year and optimize it. With faster loading times and a realistic way of presenting matches it would have been a good maybe great game. Even without 3d matches - watching only commentary mode it might have been good right now but having between seeing 3d matches or not seeing a thing it's not a difficult choice at all.

OK - so this is a major improvement on CM2008 and looks very pretty. Try to play it though and it gets very frustrating. #1 issue is performance. I have a COre Duo 2x2.13 GHz system which might not be a top end gami... Read Full Review
