Ok, I will try to be completely fair. Well, no I won't. This game is the newest iteration from the acclaimed soccer series that used to be another name. It used to be the very solid Winning Eleven soccer franchise. Under its new name it has shed its odd habbits, like use of nickanames for teams rather than club names, and replacing them with very nice graphics and solid playablility. Though the game is still harder to pick up and play for the non-soccer hooligans or less hardcore Futbol fans.
Yet the game is a decent demo. You get to play a full match with 6 different teams to choose from including Liverpool, France, Germany, and Italy. The game is pretty nice but I warn you now the shooting is touchy as a rabbid moose. The trick is to really get the timing down and get used to making alot of crosses with the ball instead of running downfielf, making a simple pass or two, and scoring. I.E. the FIFA series way.
Passing is well rounded and clearing the ball streamlined. Yet players have some trouble manuevering in tight with each other. This is actually a good thing though as it appears players are fighting for positiion on the field.
Now I am not saying that FIFA is a bad game. Rather I am simply stating that if you really love soccer, PES 2010 will likely be the better fit. Not this series has had trouble in recent years trying to compete with EA's greedy exclusivity rights spending. As of today I can't tell you how many teams the full game will include. But I can tell you that this is a fun demo and well worth the download. Score of 4.13 out of 5.
