This is my favorite video game for my PS3. I got it back in February 2010 and I still play it all the time. If you enjoy soccer and love hanging out with friends this is the game for you. It takes a bit of time to get the hang of it, but once you do there is no turning back.
I give FIFA 10 five stars for its fun factor and not its technical factor. As a single player you could either play online, manager mode or just plain exhibition games. But my favorite part of playing FIFA 10 is playing it with other people. We get together with friends and play either 1v1 or 2v2 and we have so much fun. In the PS3 you could even have up to seven players playing!
If you want a game you could enjoy playing on your own or with up to six more people, FIFA 10 is a must have. I can't wait for FIFA 11!

I bought FIFA 10 a couple of weeks ago, mostly to occupy my time at the end of an increasingly boring summer. I hadn't purchased an entry in the FIFA series since 07, so I was unsure about how different the gameplay would be and feel. Extremely different is probably the best description, but almost completely in a good way. The motions of the players are fluid, the graphics are extremely realistic, and the commentating, though not always spot on, is consistent enough to be amusing. The sheer number of teams one can play as is also astounding to me, with leagues from Europe, Japan, Korea, the US, Mexico, and Brazil all making an appearance.
The game does have a few flaws, mostly with the AI. For example, when the ball is not under anyone's control, the player you are controlling usually goes for it even though there may be a teammate controlled by the computer who is yards closer. The chip shot is also too easy to score with on a breakaway, but I hear this problem has been fixed in the World Cup version. The goalie sometimes has trouble judging when to come off his line, which can be frustrating in a close game with a friend.
Overall, however, this FIFA is a very fun game to play, especially online or with friends. I highly recommend it. |
Great Game

| I had skepticism about the goalies(AI) but they are pretty good. Anything else is in your control and the controls are great. Pro mode online is awesome, you control your 1 player out of them all and work as a team with either a real life squad player or the one you created. |
