FIFA 09 Review

By Wesley Yin-Poole - 30/09/2008 - 9:06am GMT

We had worried that FIFA 09 was going to end up like EURO 08 with a Premiership skin. Luckily for us, we were wrong. The best FIFA game ever made.

gilles veber	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I can t understand why people are so happy with this new instalment, I loved fifa 08 even if it had some flaws, but this 09 is so arcadey, I am already bored of it. Even on slow mode (and with the 0 in camera zoom trick) , the pace is ridiculous and unrealistic, especially when you srpint. It s even worst online when for some reason everything seems is accelerated. Thanks David Rutter, thanks dude for having made an arcadey soccer game of the best soccer serie of all time. Reply

Football Crazy	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Look FIFA has definitely improved, but its still to slow, player control is very poor (still unable to beat players properly without holding L2 & R3), Its still plasticly, Player detail i believe is still better on Pro Evo. "Be A Pro Mode" is ripped off from konami to begin with lads. its adapted from the Winning Eleven Manager Game that was released a couple of years back. FIFA 09 Very Good Game, But i think Pro Evo 2009 is beaten it this year but returning its renowned game play. FIFA is for players who enjoy an easy game. PES is for players that understand strategy and what a challenging football game. Reply

Adrian Forrest	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Completely agree on what Tent said back on page 2: really have they upgraded anything since PES5 or Fifa04. Sure the graphics get a little better but the game play has stayed the same. I was stupid and last year i purchased both PES08 and Fifa 08, tut tut never again will i buy immediately. PES08 never worked online, which was one of the main reasons i purchased it, and FIFA still felt too easy to score - as my friend would put it x x x x x x o goal (or [] i get confused between the two games). I have downloaded the demos for both of this years efforts and to be honest nothing is grabbing me by the balls and saying WOW! I'll stick to MGS4, GTA4 and an old favourite Oblivion for now. Reply

DannycxDxxD	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post those who say PES is king, fifa 09 sucks, not changed or w.e have OBVIOUSLY never properly played any previous fifa titles. gameplay is a big thing, the slightest changes make the biggest difference: fifa 09 is an immense game. Reply

Terra	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I'm a pro evo fans. But i have to admit that fifa 09 is really awesome. It's still not perfect, but overall is a better experience than pes 2009. I love how it feels like the real football... But I still love pro evo too, at least for offline multiplayer (because I have many friends to compete)... Reply

James Smithson	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post The game is crap. People are dumbasses because all they look at is the graphics or game features (be a pro). The game play once again is poor, the players cant turn without stopping, the ga,e decides who it favors before it even starts (makes your defence slow and yoiur oponoents attackers quick(even if your the same team as them). The ball looks like it floats. The select player feature is once again poor as it selectes the wrong player or it changes the selected player you chosen. The defending is poor as it either allows your defence to be super strong not letting anyone passed or completley weak allowing ronaldo in a wheelchair to pass and score. I rate the graphics a 9 out of 10 I rate the gameplay 4 out of 10 Its a shame pro evo is just as poor as their is not really any good football game actually out their. Reply
