Ambitious, Great grahpics and gameplay which doesn't match.

User Rating: 6.8 | FIFA 2001 PS2
When I first starting playing this game it was like “wow” to me because the graphics where awesome and replays looked amazing. Then in the background you had some cool impressive stadium sounds, the chanting giving a pretty good all round feel. With Moby playing the background music to a well organised menu system and a good few teams and nations to choose from there is a pretty good game here.

The only problem with me was I found the gameplay all too easy. I put the difficulty level up and had the same problem. So I put it right up to the max and I still had the same problem. For one player modes it’s a good bit of fun for a while but in the end it gets boring quickly, which left me feeling a bit disappointed. They put so much effort into the games engine they forgot a massive vital part and for me and that’s gameplay. If I ever play this game now it’s only in 2 player mode which has a bit of fun as human counterparts are superior to the games intelligence engine any day of the week.

So all in all, I am going with ambitious as it’s a good start and this FIFA brand can only improve over time.
