A fun soccer game, but not without its flaws.
User Rating: 9.2 | FIFA 07 Soccer X360
As good as it looks, and as well as it plays, FIFA 07 is still with some flaws that make it very hard to completely love it. The Manager feature is back bigger and better than ever, boasting numerous upgrades, features, and options than previous series' entries. That is a given. The Gameplay is at times silky smooth, and at others, horribly infuriating. Rarely have I played a game that had me alternating between "Hell yeah!" and "No way!" Offense, and specifically passing, have been tailored to perfection. A smooth passing attack is nearly unstoppable, akin to Argentina's penalty area patience, and the game pulls it off wonderfully. Shooting is lackluster however, and a good many of your shots will look as if a six year old had fired them, not Wayne Rooney. Defense, meanwhile, is a frustrating game of chase that often ends with your player running in useless circles while the opponents striker closes in on goal. Online is a blast, nearly competely lag free, and easy to start and go. The graphics are stunning. The game looks on par with any TV game today. The sound is passable, retaining the fantastic music of the earlier games, and able to muster up a solid roar after the homeside scores. The commentary, however, while imressive in its beginning stages is quickly becomes repetitive and worst of all, the announcer will give away a free kick's success or not before it has reached the goalkeeper. All in all, its a great game, and a game that will keep you occupied until FIFA 08, at least.
