Whether you call it soccer or football, one thing's for sure — you've got the technique worthy of the sport's most competitive clubs. You sleep and wake by the black-and-white ball and you've got the foot to kick it all the way to the World Cup. But something's missing. The yellow- and white-painted lines, neatly groomed turf and perfectly squared-off goals are starting to get a bit old. You've seen one field, you've seen them all — or have you? Ditch your cleats, leave the stadium in the dust and get ready to experience fierce soccer action where it's really at — in the streets. From rooftops to parking lots, from Rio de Janeiro to Amsterdam, players are tearing up the pavement and taking soccer to a whole new level. Build up a killer roster and sharpen your skills, you're about to take it to the Street.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Fun! March 14, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

As I have stated in another review, I'm a casual, sports-only gamer. My son wanted this game and it was a gift to him. We already have FIFA12 and I couldn't see why I would play this game over that. I was wrong. Sure, it's smaller venues and smaller teams but you have more individualized player movements, the action is fast-paced and it's awesome juking out someone and making a great pass and scoring a goal. Keep in mind I have only played on 2-player with him, but we had a blast with the different game modes. I hated that I paid full-price but my son loves Messi and there was a special code for a team involving him by pre-ordering from Amazon. I'm sure this will be discounted by about $20 soon because I just can't see it being a big-seller but when it goes down to $40, it will be nice one to add to your sports gaming collection.

I love the career mode and online features in this game, but i think it only worth $30 dollars. The only problem there is the impact system which causes troubles when players collide

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely fun but missing some things March 20, 2012

By Arsen Nazaryan

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

FIFA Street is a surprisingly fun game. I had lower expectations, but the demo put those at rest. The full package has plenty of game modes: 4 of them, to be exact, with the ability to create custom ones should you choose to. There's plenty of teams to choose from and play as (from Serie A, Bundesliga, Barclays Premier League, etc.) and there are loads of Street Teams to open up and create yourself -- including a "classic" team filled with classic players. The World Tour mode is a really fun career-style mode, filled with plenty of variation. Overall, there's quite a lot to do in this, plenty of tricks and modes to take up your time.

Unfortunately, FIFA Street does lack a bit of the extra umph it needs to justify a 60-dollar purchase (If you can get it at 40 dollars, I do suggest it!). Though it makes sense with regards to continuity, I don't understand why I can't simply create my own dream teams and play with them. Or, perhaps, import my player into a professional team. Likewise, a lot of players are missing from the professional teams. Furthermore, the arcadey feel of the game does leave more to be desired and seems as if it could eventually get boring. I've yet to get bored with the game, but I find myself going back to FIFA 12 frequently for its different experience. Small things here and there will annoy plenty of hardcore FIFA enthusiasts, but all in all FIFA Street is an excellent pick-up-and-play game, regardless of your level of fanaticism.

FIFA Street is a great game, but it does lack a bit, unfortunately. Regardless, I highly recommend it for the FIFA enthusiast or for anyone looking for a fun arcadey experience.

UPDATE: Not being able to play as official teams online really does suck, and kills the longevity of the game life. Moreover, the game definitely gets a little more boring through time.
