The Fifa franchise. What has made it so popular? Why is it the best selling sports simulation? Simple. Because of a great mix of gameplay, challenge, graphics and sound.

Graphics: The graphics are probably one of the best in any sports game to date. Detailed character models allow you too see their sweat. Their jerseys are also extremely accurate. The grass is also some of the best seen in a video game.

Controls: The controls are fairly easy. A button to pass, B to lob, X to shoot and R to speed up. The C-Stick allows double passing where you pass to a player and he passes the ball back to you, creating a great offensive chance. The only thing I'm concerned about is tackling. Many times, you accidentally tackle someone instead of taking the ball from them.

Sound: The commentary is a bit lacking as you're bound to hear the same comments at least twice in a game. Nevertheless, the commentary is still good for a sports game of this day and age.

Fun Factor: This game will keep you on your toes. You and the computer are locked in a soccer deathmatch. It's great when you make those amazing plays and score just before the goalie dives for the ball.

Overall: I would recommend this game to anyone who loves sports.
