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.

I've tried the demo and for all its faults pes 2008 is still a better game than fifa 09. Fifa has always tried to imitate pes and there's only ever been one winner. Online play fixed in pes2009 means i know where my moneys going again this year. Reply

tent	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post How many people actually buy a new football game every season? I mean, when the camera is zoomed out you can't tell any huge differences in graphics anyway. I think I've bought 3 in the past 8 years, which has given me plenty to play. PES's Master League is enough to keep me occupied for a good 2 years. I'll wait until all the reviews are in and both titles are in the bargain bin before purchasing my first next gen football title. Until then, I still have PES 6 and Fifa 2004! Reply

RedRazz	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I think it boils down to a personal preference. Over the last few years both titles have been acceptable footy titles but rather than compete with each other they are going for different markets - Fifa is certainly not copying PES as they have tried to in the past (pre 07 titles). FIFA is now a slower more simulation based title, PES is a much faster arcade style football title. Neither is better - they are just different. For me if you want something that looks and plays like what you watch week in week out on Sky Sports you buy FIFA. If you want a fast action goal fest you would stick with the arcade stylings of PES. Ever since SNES days of ISS I have been a huge fan of Konami's offering my personal fave being ProEvo 2 on PS2 - but since Fifa 07 on XBOX360 EA have started to win me over. I have been really disappointed with PES next gen offerings and as I did last year will actually going for FIFA 09. My only question is which system to get it on - PS3 or XBOX360, will there be a difference? Just my two pence worth.... Razz Report Reply

jez 79	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Ha. PES is still King? Is that why you spend your time looking at Fifa reviews? Clearly not happy with PSone graphics and trashy arcade knock arounds? Fifa 09 has given whats called online play my children. When your mother has paid the internet bills its something we Fifa fans call online play. This game has every dimension thinkable. To knock Fifa 09, is slating the number one sport we all love known as football. Reply
