It's an improvement over last year's edition, but the FIFA series is still "soccer lite." Read Review
Great soccer players need a great first touch -- and the same is now true for gamers with FIFA Soccer 2005. Using an all-new fluid player kinetic system, a player's first touch becomes a key advantage for players who can think quickly and act fast to outsmart the competition. An all-new animation system reacts to every button press with authentic responsiveness, directly translating to the speed and vision of the world's greatest players. With more than 350 official team and league licenses from around the world, more than 12,000 officially licensed players, an enhanced Career Mode, and EA SPORTS Online play (PlayStation 2 console only), FIFA Soccer 2005 is billed as the only complete, authentic, and intelligent soccer experience.
The FIFA series from EA Sports has been treading water, quality wise, for a few years due to its arcade slant and less-than-realistic gameplay. The 2005 edition takes some important steps in the right direction: it's not soccer nirvana -- and it's still not nearly as good as Konami's classic Winning Eleven series on the PS2 or PC, but it's certainly the best FIFA in four of five years. However, this still remains a game for the casual soccer fan rather than the serious footie fanatic. Read More »
