EA does it again! Its the 2005 version of the Fifa series, and as always it pleases!
User Rating: 9 | FIFA Soccer 2005 PC
EA make a Fifa football game every year. I have got Fifa 98, 04 and 05 and ive played quite a few of the others, and I can definatly say that in each of the games, EA have made them more exciting or better graphically than the last one. 2005's Fifa game is no exception, it brings football onto your pc like always, with easy controls, nice movement and fantastic atmosphere, theres no doubt, this is the best in the series... yet :D Gameplay - 10 / 10 All of the fifa games amaze me, but in this one the gameplay is one of a kind! You become the manager and the players player :D You control basically the whole team and take them though step by step. As you start the season mode, you become a starting manager and are allowed to choose many starting teams to manage, as you get better and win more leagues your rating increases which allows you to ditch your team at the end of the season for a better one! Graphics - 8 / 10 The fifa games are getting more and more advanced, and in this game the graphics are fantastic. The players on the pitch look amazingly like the original real life players. And since there are over 11'000 players spread over 18 leagues, I must take my hat off for EA and say how long it must have taken them to do that! I do have one problem with the fifa series thought... The crowd, is not 3d or anything, they look like cardboard cut outs just moving around when you get close to them. Its not a problem while your playing, they look good then, but when you score a goal all you can see is a loop of cardboard cut outs :D Sound - 9 / 10 The sound in this game is amazing. Theres a massive selection of music you can play on it, the commentry is rather good and the crowd chants are superb! The sound in this game makes it much more enjoyable to play as it really feels you are playing in a real time stadium! Value - 8 / 10 I say if you've not tried any of the fifa games before, this is a must for you. You will honestly be shocked and amazed at the level of customizablity. But if you have tried the games before, check out the demo before hand, as you might find it partly the same game as the 2004 version. Overall - 9.0 / 10 ( Superb) Overall this game is an amazing update on the 2004 version, and I recommend you get a copy! :) Thanks for reading, Marky
