FIFA Soccer 64
Reviewed by pat64@geocities.com
This game is by far the most realistic sports game on the N64. Popular,
regular sports, not like wave race. Even the announcer's voice is perfect
(like the accent, and other stuff) It has TONS of teams, you can choose
from all the countries, cities of the USA and more! In all this is a great
game and you should at least try it! Now for some of the detail.
This game has very good graphics, and the players look very real, and
their faces don't all look the same, not like Wayne Greztky 3-D hockey.
With the farther away cameras, the players look fuzzy and blurry. But
what can you expect? Maybe a bit more, but that is a minor problem.
The sound is excellent, I especially liked the announcer. You can even
hear the goalie say HUNH when he kicks. The sound track is good, and I
like the feature for after you score, pressing the C buttons will make
noises. Very good for graphics and sound!
The control is very complicated, with all the different things you can
do, but after awhile, it's easy. The control is smooth and is good in each
section. I like the ability to curve the ball in the air, I've even scored
on a corner kick! If I were giving a percentage mark for control, I'd give it 99%.
This game is very challenging but for those who play a lot of sports games,
this game would seem pretty simple, if the controls were simpler. This
game has the same style as a hockey game, and is pretty much the same.
Although this game is a bit different and has a new twist to it sports
games die hards will find it simple. I liked this game and thought it
was challenging.
Like I said before, this is a very fun game, and you would not want to miss
out on it. I would not recommend buying this game, Because it will get
boring fast. You don't see many soccer games out, but then you don't get
bored of them fast. This one is a winner, and there's not much more to
say about it. Just a nice realistic soccer game!
+ Plus: Very good graphics, sound, control, and much more.
- Minus: Hard control at first, gets better though.
= Equals: A very well done soccer game, best common sports game
on the N64!
