This game is like the soccer version of nhl hitz, except one of you main goals is to trick out your opponent and make them look stupid. instead of the regular old soccer, with strict rules and penalties, this is a total free for all to get to the ball and maintain control of the game. This game is full of big hits, trips, and slide tackles. Fake outs are a key part of this game, and if you don't use them your done for. The ai can be very tedious at times and complete roll over you as their opponent. The main mode to play in is "Rule the Street" where you bascially try and become a well known and amazing street soccer player. You upgrade your skills and are allowed to go to different levels. There are a few different matches, one in which you have to score goals and nutmegs to win. However, the worst part about this game is the trick em out matches where all you do is go for combo tricks and try and trick out the other team by reaching a certain score. Some of these scores you have to reach are just insanely high and one match can take an hour. Otherwise, this game is alot of fun and is great for all sports preferences. This time soccer is a full contact sport!

There are just so many people who definitely love the feeling of sports games. Nevertheless, they aren't alowyas as good as they claim to be in the gameplay. That has been the case with games like Madden '06, and NBA 2K2. While all that seems to be proven that way, the soccer games also don't have the actual feeling of a goal either, most of the time. While there have been some well-received decent titles like the highly acclaimed Super Mario Strikers for the Nintendo Gamecube, other haven't made the way to a goal. For EA's FIFA Street series, that also didn't actually have a perfectional method either in gaming. Now that there also happens to be a sequel out, can it do just better than before.

FIFA Street 2 for the Xbox, is a game that tries to deliver well with soccer fans. There are several teams from all over the world who are trying to make it to the world championship of street soccer such as the U.S.A., thelegends from England, Japan, and Italy to name a few. The graphics for the game are just crisp and stand out through each of the courses and stadiums from all over, while the music delivers what EA's Street series games have always showcased the most was through the great mixes of gaming melodies. The control however does lose out a lot. Although it is fairly easy to manuver your players to score goals, the use of the trick stick can be frustating at times, especially when you try to build up your gamebreaker power at the same time.

All in all, FIFA Street 2 is a fairly welcomed game, but does miss out on quite a lot for Xbox owners. I really doubt there are any over the top other options for gamers to make their own exciting goals out there. I suggest you rent this one before considering this as a add on to your video game collection.
