EA has today announced that FIFA Street 3 is to be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in spring 2008. The game will feature over 250 of the best players in the world and 18 top international teams.

We have completely re-invented the FIFA Street franchise by turning the game’s biggest stars into action heroes using art direction that makes you look twice,” said Joe Nickolls, producer on the project. “The power of the Next Generation hardware gives us the horsepower to break new ground for consumers, making it the perfect stage to enjoy a multi-player, sports action arcade experience. Casual gamers and sports fans can expect a simplified control system that makes it easier to perform spectacular moves and enjoy the game with friends, yet still be a challenging experience for more seasoned gamers.”

Rather than simply going for photo realistic visuals, all the players in the game are a caricature of their real selves, matching the fun-packed nature of the game. Each player is from of a certain class (Trickster, Enforcer, Playmaker and Finisher), giving them specific roles on the pitch. The NBA Street Homecourt graphics engine also ensures that gamers will be in for a treat visually.
