Review

 

Step onto the pitch and play professional football your way in EA Sports FIFA 09. Experience the most authentic football simulation EA Sports has delivered on the PlayStation 2 as you live the fantasy of playing as a professional player.

With 500 new animation sequences and all-new collision and shielding systems-representing the biggest innovations to the game engine in four years - FIFA 09 delivers more responsive, intelligent and realistic physical action.

A new collision detection system with 360 degree coverage and hundreds of new collision animations enable players to behave according to their physical attributes. Player speed, direction and strength now determine everything from the severity of the collision to the outcome of possession. Plus, contact occurs with shoulders, arms and legs. Stronger players possess the strength to knock down smaller players or use their body or arms to win challenges.

Player strength and momentum also determine outcomes in challenges through the new shielding system, with dozens of new outcomes created. Plus, players can now shield the ball by pushing off the defender to create space - at the risk of being called for a foul - just like real life. The increased control shielding the ball adds another strategic element to matches, enabling you to slow the game's pace as needed.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Good Gameplay, Huge variation from the ps2 to ps3 version.

I mainly played this on the ps3 to start with, but then bought the title for the ps2 as it was quite cheap. First impressions were terrible, the menu screen, graphics was poor, seemed like a nintendo ds game on big screen... Anyways i gave it a try and gradually got used to its gameplay which could be said to be a completely different game to the ps3 version. The responsiveness is greater then the ps3 but with graphics nearer to 04/05. Its a real mixed bag but with descent modes and gameplay it is overall a good game. Looking forward to Fifa 10, if they can create faster responsiveness on the ps3 to deal with the graphics it would be a great game!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Very good Game

Really enjoyed it, found the "Be a Pro"....interesting, but not as good as anticipated. Also, what I really want from a FIFA game is more leagues, e.g, Lower Scottish Divisions. I want to be able to play as my home town, and build them up to SPL and UEFA status. That's the main thing that FIFA need. Graphics are great, gameplay is great, just ADD MORE LEAGUES!!

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars brilliant game
