In Game Modes you'll find the sub-modes Friendly, Rule the Street, and Skills Challenge. You can instantly pick up a quick game in Play Now, step into career mode, fiddle with your look and skills in Creation Zone, and select Options or Radio Stations to customize. The basic game structure has remained faithful to the Street series. Bellyaching aside, FIFA Street 2 takes up where the first left off. Such is the arduous work of a videogame reviewer. Of course, I had to bury the idea of traditional soccer deep in my guts somewhere, along with my adoration for Winning Eleven so that I could enjoy Street 2. I'm a purist, but I like having fun and I've found there is a certain kind of fun in FIFA Street 2. If you're more forgiving or simply love anything that revolves around a soccer ball, you might actually like this sequel. If you're a total purist, you'll hate it. The gameplay emphasizes trickery over actual soccer skills and knowledge of the sport.
FIFA Street 2 is still very much an EA Street game, which is to say it's a trick-based arcade game. That leads us to the heart of the matter. The variation of tricks is broader and more integral to the actual sport, and finally, EA's new creation differentiates between pure soccer and trick-based athleticism with a variety of gameplay types.īetter+animations,+and+way+more+tricks. As I progressed through the various modes, I realized the gameplay wasn't buggy, nor was the game shoddily crafted. One of the new DJs, Zane Lowe, who replaced MC Harvey, admits on air to not wanting to be like the other DJs, so he stops the chatter and lets you listen to the music. The irritating trendy junk of 2005 has mostly vanished. This isn't the cookie cutter product of last year. What I found is a game that's constructed with a lot more care and attention to detail than the original. So last week, I took a deep breath, cleared my mind, prayed to the soccer gods for a miracle, and started playing. But the other thing about reviewing any game is that one must have an open mind. But given the state of the original and recognizing EA's deft handling of this - we were only recently given a build to play - I've had my suspicions. I love soccer and have played it all my life, and so getting the opportunity to play any soccer game is a real treat. Mine was confronting the idea of reviewing FIFA Street 2. If redemption is equal to the amount of tricks one can pull off in a given soccer game and not having the worst announcer in the history of videogames, then EA at least isn't going to hell.Īs a reviewer, one must face his personal horrors. After the monstrosity that was the original FIFA Street, I felt it my obligation to see if EA had redeemed itself with the sequel.
See, I've been assigned to review FIFA Street 2. Over the past few nights I've found it difficult to face the oncoming doom.
