4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a very good game!, November 21, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: GBA FIFA Soccer 2006 (Video Game)

I was on the search for a good GBA game. I came across FIFA Soccer 06. I decided on it, and got it.

Graphics:
Probably could be a bit better, but they aren't an eyesore and a terror to look at. That was more directed towards the players. The field is amazing-looking. It certainly reminded me of soccer times. The crowd isn't bad either.

Sound:
The sound was programmed in a bit softly, so you may have to adjust the volume a bit. There is some good music and nice sound quality. The crowd's noises are like a real game. The sounds they make, including the cheering, the "ohh..."s when the keeper grabs the ball, disallowing that goal, it's all good.

Gameplay:
This isn't a "every shot makes a goal" game. Strategy is often needed to score. As a soccer player myself, all off-sides, throw-ins, and all that are called when it happens. The controls aren't very hard to learn, although I'd still try a simple Kick-Off game rather than going straight to Career Mode. All soccer leagues I can think of, are included. I'm certain, if you're favorite team is AS Roma (Italian), they're there. All of them. This is a fun and addicting game. Great gameplay.

So, it is highly recommended that you get this game. Used or not, still great. You should really try FIFA Soccer 06 for the GBA.

5.0 out of 5 stars fifa fantastic, December 22, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: GBA FIFA Soccer 2006 (Video Game)

This game is by far the best game ever. You can even select your favorite team. Hint:
If you are shooting from a long distance, you should hold the A button longer. In career mode, you can sign a contract for a five season career with the team you chose.
Although, career mode can take a very long time. With me they take about 5 days max.
So, 5 seasons would take about 25 days max. I can not tell you anything about multiplayer mode because I am still waiting for my cable. Overall, it is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest game
eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Soccer Game!, July 26, 2009

This review is from: GBA FIFA Soccer 2006 (Video Game)

If you're focusing on getting a great soccer game for a handheld, (specifically speaking, a GBA), I strongly recommend this one. The graphics do need some work, but it's very addicting and highly entertaining. I was entertained for hours on this simple handheld title. I'm not really big on the whole "team-choosing" concept, because I'm not a big soccer fan-the only sport I watch regularly is wrestling. I sort of only bought this game because it was cheap and worth a try. I was immediately intrigued, although it is realisticly challenging to make a goal. A great buy!
