This game is definitely the best looking soccer game I've ever seen. That's about all this game is good for though, is to look at. The controls to the game is like playing Fifa on the Playstation One. There's no skill moves, which basically means all you can do when a defender is running at you is pass it, shoot it, or just wait to lose the ball. There is one touch but basically the AI seems to read your mind and as soon as you try to flick it, its intercepted. Playing defense on this game is about the worst I've ever experience. The game auto switches to the nearest player... except it basically auto switches to whomever it feels like and can really leave your defense with huge holes for the AI to exploit... which it will. When you score a goal, be prepared for the AI to trot down the field despite your best efforts and score a goal... it's happened to me in at least 10 of the 23 games I've played already. It has only the 5 major soccer leagues and the manager mode is nothing to write home about, as its the same exact manager mode in the XBox and playstation version... except it only lasts 5 years.
