FIFA SOCCER 2007
From the first whistle of the season to heartbreak of cup failure,
FIFA 07 throws you into the rollercoaster ride of a football season,
has your team got what it takes to win the league or will they
bravely battle relegation - its all up to you.
New intelligent AI ensures that your 11 men on the pitch make
realistic decisions, finding space and passing like professionals.
A complete overhaul of the game engine now means that you have
to employ real world tactics, make realistic decisions and think
like a player in order to win matches.
Take on the updated and improved challenge of the Manager Mode.
Player values and wages have been tuned to be even more realistic.
Managerial decisions have even more tangible effects on
player performance and welfare. Smarter CPU decisions mean rival
managers are even more strategic in their own pursuit of silverware.
CNET Review:
Another global "football" season means another edition of EA Sports'
excellent soccer sim, and we shouldn't take this demo for granted,
considering that FIFA's hefty cousin Madden NFL hasn't provided
a trial version in years. That said, the 550MB download doesn't
deliver anything unexpected or much different from the demo
for 2006 FIFA World Cup. It's fun to play with famous players
like Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi, and Wayne Rooney, and it's hard
to knock a demo that allows unlimited four-minute matches with
six international club teams, but there's simply not enough content
or customization to warrant a higher rating.
The demo allows you to play as and against Manchester United
(U.K.), Lyon (France), Werder Bremer (Germany), AC Milan (Italy),
Guadalajara (Mexico), or Barcelona (Spain), and each team
includes recognizable superstars, like controversial World Cup star
Cristiano Ronaldo. The only provided field is Arsenal's
Emirates Stadium, and the matches are limited to one four-minute half
. The game controls will be familiar to anyone who's played FIFA,
and since it's clearly a console port, a controller works much
better than the keyboard. Unfortunately, though the controls
are logical and easy to learn, you can't change them or
refer back to the control guide during an active match. Also,
matches are limited to single-player action, so forget about
competing against a pal.
FIFA SOCCER 2007A new game engine this year feels more
realistic than in previous years, especially to players comfortable
with the style of the slower Winning Eleven series, and
the graphics are likewise improved. The physical interaction
among players on the pitch is particularly good. However,
most of this year's additions, like the enhanced manager
mode and interactive online leagues, aren't included in
this demo, leaving non-diehard fans of FIFA to wonder if
the lengthy download and installation process is worth
the effort. We recommend this game only to big fans
of soccer sims or those considering the full version.
