This is the best looking FIFA to date, the 360 version is really good and fun. Lots of official teams to choose from and the graphics are awesome. Now...the gameplay still lacks on "reality"...it's a fun game to play but is too arcade like, for a more simulation style game you should choose Pro Evolution Soccer (the Winning Eleven series)

The campaign mode, both solo and co-op is fantastic. Lots of fun extras like humorous AI quotes. The storyline is great and graphics are pretty good.
Unfortunately the online team matches are spoiled by bad sportsmanship conduct by most players on this Halo craze. Sad to see such a great game ruined online by immature people.
What's great about it: Solid campain mode and fun co-op add
What's not so great: Online battles ruined by mean spirited players

I don't know where to start. The graphics are unbeliveable, the sceneary is gorgeous that makes you want to walk slow and appreciate it, the controls work great and the story line makes me think they'll make a movie out this one day. If that's not enough to make you want to try this go on Xbox Live and try the free demo, it's the very begining of the game and gives an idea of what to expect. I loved it so much that I beat this game twice already, once I was nice and saved the little girls and the second time...well, play it and you'll know what I mean, you get two different endings too.

If you are a fan of the Need for Speed games that's not what you will find on this game. The controls are very sensitive and work great. You need to be patient and play like you are driving a real car, slowing down for turns and all. Once you get used to the way this game works you will be hooked for sure. Besides that the graphics are gorgeous, you will have fun just watching your own replays. Young kids might find it a little hard to play, try the free demo on Xbox Live.
