FIFA Soccer 96

The Good
The first thing that excited me was that the player names were authentic. It was possible to select your own star team and play with them. In addition the gameplay was good, i still lost the odd game after playing it for months.

The Bad
There were times when players would suddenly vanish while playing a game followed by a crash at the end of the game. What was worse was that in those games you would be able to score 7 or 8 goals.

The Bottom Line
If you havent played it yet, don't because you wont enjoy it, i played it in 96 and remember it being one of the most addictive games around. If you get it try it out just to see how far the series has progressed since then.

The Good
The graphics are spot-on, the audio is magnificent, it plays like a dream -- in brief, it's the ultimate football simulation.

The Bad
Nothing. Zip. Nada.

The Bottom Line
If you're into football, you'll LOVE this. If not, find another game.

The Good
The software engine is excellent - I'll give them that. But other than this, I truly dislike this game. The music is also quite good, and the AI is decent.

The Bad
I really hate the sport, and I think a computerized conversion is even worse than the real thing. The controls are horrible and the players look disgusting.

The Bottom Line
It's a great game if you like the genre and the sport, but personally I'd stay away from it.
