PS2 FIFA Soccer 2006

2 stars (a bundle of irritation) - This, more even than its predecessors, is a lazy game that swaps challenge for mere irritation. Players will run off in all directions without reason, and stop, pause, and turn the wrong way to miss key passes or interceptions; will take ten yards (no joke) to stop from a run; will simply ignore a clear pass to an open player, and substitute a silly pass to a distant player on the opposite side of the pitch; and a through-ball, if too good, will magically speed up halfway through (no joke), in order to get to the keeper before an onrushing forward. In other words, EA couldn't be bothered to develop a clever game - instead, in order to make it competitive, they made it arbitrary, disingenuous, and utterly stupid. 4 stars (Best Footie Game Ever!) - By far the best ever. Played Winning Eleven 8 last year and enjoyed it but this is much better. It has everything you would want and more. Easy to learn but difficult to master, FIFA06 appeals to gamers at every skill level. The online account sign-up is pretty painful when done through the PS2. If you need to sign up for a new account, it's much easier to go to easports.com and do it directly from their website. A must-have for every gamer's library! PROS: + Smooth graphics + Realistic gameplay + Challenge System: 104 Built-In! + Responsive, pressure-sensitive controls + Exclusive Licenses + Supports up to 8 players with 2 multi-taps. + Game Depth: 1st & 2nd divisions in some leagues, Team Chemistry, Performance Meter, Player Styles, etc. CONS: + More an EA Sports problem but online gaming could be better. $2 fee or subject yourself to promotions. Hard to sign up through the console (easy if done on website). OK, enough typing, I'm gonna go play again. ;P 4 stars (Better, but still not as goosd as WE/PES) - I have been bying FIFA since 2002, and by farthis is the best one of them. But still, it is missing the realistic ball control and the really good way of difinition WE/PES have. The...
