When I first got FIFA I was expecting it to be just like all the other past entries into the game, all I expected new was better graphics and also new players. What I got was that they changed the entire make-up of the game and made it a whole lot harder. They went from being a rather arcade style game to a more polished more professional game. The only problem is that the game when it became more realistic it made the game a whole lot more difficult. This game is not for the people that just have a passing interest in soccer, but those that are genuinely interested and want to sit down and invest the time to spend on learning all the mechanics of the game. The big new feature this year is the be a pro mode, having played and tried this I have come to find that this is a pretty useless addition to the game, as the game camera and view options are annoying to say the least. They have update the graphics, which is nice, but there are still some problems, for example, crowds look terrible, they are poorly done and just don't cut it on what is otherwise a spectacular looking game. The game's soundtrack is top notch providing the usual great international mix of tunes. The game does have some issues with repeating commentary or commentary that just doesn't make sense in the context of the game. The game is overall once you get the hang of it a great and enjoyable soccer game that is sure to please any fans of the FIFA series or someone that is looking for a realistic although challenging game of soccer. NOT RECOMMEND FOR CHILDREN, this will lead to many a broken controller and many screams of anger...... Don't say I didn't warn you. If you have the patience and you like soccer go out and get FIFA if you don't have patience than don't even bother with FIFA. h
