FIFA Street 2

"Soccer in the streets..."

EA sports FIFA series is now in the streets select from many of the national teams in the game and battle it out on the street!

Game-play: 8/10

This game has a very simple yet complex game-play mechanism, you have your turbo which boosts speed, but you also use the c-stick for tricks, these tricks are your way to victory, many of the national players have signature tricks, for example: Freddie Adu of America has a special trick called phenom, you also get points for every trick you do!
When you dodge at least 2 opposing players from the enemy team you get a X2, which doubles your points received from a goal shot, When you have enough points your game breaker bar fills up, when this is full you can unleash a devastating shot which pretty much always makes it in, while your in game breaker mode, you have to dodge other plays for extra points, for example: dodge 1 player +1 your team and -1 point enemy team.

Music 10/10

This game has a HUGE soundtrack the music does not really seem to get old to me because every song in it is great and fits in very good, For the different towns and cities you play in the music can change, If you play in America you have the normal LIVE FM radio station with rock, hip hop, etc, but if you play somewhere like Berlin Germany, it switches to the techno station.

Graphics: 8/10

The graphics are good in this game, you can also create your own player, the created players fit right in with the rest of the players, all the signature players like Ronaldinho look like there real life counterpart.

Controls: 8/10

The controls are really smooth, most of them are explained in the game-play section of this review but you have your normal passes, long passes, you can also hold the Y button to release your goalie out of the box.

Replay: 7/10

Like any other sports game this game has much replay value but even more if you have friends to play with.

Overall: 8/10
I would recommend renting this game first unless your a die-hard soccer fan. Then I would say pick it up immediately.
