Fifa Street - review

Xbox 360/PS3/PC

, £ 39.99, cert 3 +; EA Canada / EA Sports

I must admit I feel a little upset when I saw Lionel Messi made Keepy-ups on the cover of the new FIFA Street. Not that I have a problem with Messi, either as player or a person, it does not look like a strange caricature of himself and the beam was not flying his feet.

He said that FIFA Street goes the same way that SSX, EA restart another gem in the catalog of EA SPORTS BIG, where he was all the bizarre, the silly fun in the previous iterations replaced by an aesthetic that is both serious and impassive painfully fresh.

This is, as anyone who recalls the golden age of FIFA Street, which is a shame. In the past, FIFA Street is an alternative animation and refreshing to the FIFA franchise from EA. His players are not athletes, they were superheroes who could take outrageous stunts, running on walls and knocking in goals kicked for miles by bike from the box. This is not the case now, the players look like they do in real life. The parking spaces are common and graffiti-covered interior spaces. Even their clothes to seek a license.

But if you're willing to look beyond the presentation cooler than you, FIFA Street is undoubtedly excellent, although it does with FIFA is like the bully brother. The emphasis here is on individual skills, dribbling round ball, simulating the opponents and the construction of a new momentum of the fluid as it moves the ball field. He feels, and to some extent, plays a bit like an arcade fighter, players must learn all the tricks and dribbling moves fine, then string them together to make the most of his opponents

controls will be familiar to anyone who has played a FIFA title in recent years, the face buttons, triggers and bumpers FIFA interface for the mirror, with some exceptions. The left-stick, for example, is essentially the player's toolbox fake their opponents. Shaking this way and that causes heel chops, feints and removals by step, but turning movements established patterns produced spin, press and arc many other clever tricks to confuse their opponents.

Pull the left trigger, and readers plants one foot on the ground and the wheels of the ball, opponents of the bait and protecting the ball with his body. Once your number starts to harass opposing players may move quickly or feint away with the ball and create space to pass or a shot on goal. Click the right bumper and the player starts to juggle the ball with his feet. You can then initiate above or beyond an opponent, or pull it over his shoulder if they are being crowded.

World Tour is essentially a selection of different types of games available in the exposure mode, with a league that serves a purpose for each region. Apart from the standard five and six for secondary tournaments, three in three games, last man standing matches, games and parties Panna Futsal. Last Man Standing is a competition of four-by-side on which a team loses a player every time you score and win the game when they have no one left on the ground. This may seem a bit odd, but it's actually a lot of fun. In football, the goalmouths are larger, there are no walls to stop by the bank and the faults are. In two games against two Panna, players earn points to a "bank" each time the nutmeg an opponent successfully. Scoring, points are in the "bank" are added to your global account. The team may also lose their "bank" balance sheet, if an opponent manages to get one ahead of them.

On the way, players can create a team, and fill your list with players who have played against, players created by their friends online, or creations. During games, players also earn XP from the implementation of cost movements and the score, you can use to improve their individual attributes, making them the best strikers, defenders and goalkeepers. The multiplayer mode allows users to have as your team online and compete in bragging rights and trophies.
