FIFA Soccer O9 from EA Sports

FIFA 09 plays better than ever before, and a wealth of new modes and features add plenty of longevity.

It’s been a busy 12 months for EA Sports and football games. FIFA 08 was a genuine revolution for the series, with a more realistic pace and improved AI adding some much-needed depth to the gameplay. UEFA Euro 2008 came six months later, further refining this ground work while expanding the features list with more unique game modes.

With FIFA 09, the third EA Sports football game in a bit more than a year, they’ve honed the core gameplay even further, and added even more features, game modes, and online elements to the mix. It amounts to an incredibly deep and varied package, and despite a few niggling bugs and performance issues, FIFA 09 is the pinnacle of the series so far.
