Fun: I haven't played an official FIFA game since the 1998 Sega Saturn release but I spent enough time with that one to appreciate all of the polish that the latest in the series offers. The game of soccer translates well to video games in that it is a graceful and exciting game that requires focus from participants in the real world or digital realm, just play some old NES soccer and you will see that even that title holds up. What we have here is the newest kit on the block and it plays well. The animations and graphics are top notch to the point where broadcast tv and videogames are getting harder to tell apart. Where this title excels is in its ability to really make you part of the game, the players control smoothly and once you get passing, shooting and defense down you can up the difficulty level so that you are never ahead of the game. The stellar points system allows you to buy old players like PELE and official shoes, balls etc..however this title is lacking any kind of franchise or manager mode, so this is really for the fan who wants to take an international team through the qualifications and ultimately the FIFA WORLD CUP FINALS. The other 2006 FIFA release does have a franchise mode however. You can still create new players and lineups quite easily though. Excellent playability and smooth well thought out controls make this the game that is currently giving me nerve damage in my left thumb. Can't put it down and the multiplayer is excellent with up to 4 in a contest. Recommended for the those coming down with WORLD CUP sniffles or even the fever.
