4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good but...., May 6, 2005

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: FIFA Soccer (Video Game)

First of all I must say this is a very good game indeed.
I liked the Graphics and the fact that is a complete game the same I have on PC or XBOX.All teams all leagues full of options to play.
I found the speed of the game very good as weel, there is a minor problem when the ball goes outbounds there is a small pause in gameplay but is not a huge concern.
The players detail are also very good, better than my PC details I guess.
My only complain about the game is a lack of cutomization in controls and I think is very difficult to hold the PSP and play weel at the same time, but maybe I have to pratice more or find another way to hold it.
If you like soccer you have to buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars a draw..., May 11, 2005

This will probably be the best football/soccer game for the PSP for quite some time; FIFA has always put out great titles and the graphics is really good. Athough the animation is smooth, the problem comes from the slightly sluggish reaction time... while I understand the player physics used to good effect on consoles, it does not do well on the PSP's analog thumbpad making pivots (even more difficult given that touch/finesse moves uses the d-pad which is really hard to switch back and froth from the thumbpad), meeting and avoiding opposing players while keeping the ball difficult even on the semi-pro level.

There are a lot of options, though; from quick friendlies, half seasons, mini-game challenges, custom season and players along with a huge amount of players and teams make the game immediately accessible.

I would give this three and half stars only because it's a fine game, not a breakout one. The controls just do not seem to have been optimized for the PSP... it is worth playing but I wouldn't put this in the same class as Ridge Racer and Wipeout.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great First Effort, August 9, 2005

I know that this isn't a perfect game, not by a longshot. The truth is, this is the best soccer game on a handheld I've ever played, and a ton of fun to boot. The amazing thing is how they've managed to pack a full console game's worth of options and features into a small, handheld game. Create-a-player? Check. Season mode? Check. The list goes on. There are some gripes, namely the stuttery animation when the ball goes out of bounds, or the sketchy controls (no secondary analog stick means... it's really hard to control the freestyle moves), but the truth is, it's still a blast to play.
