Football is also - it's generally agreed by experts - a game of two halves, which always makes it more than a little disturbing when the Americans get their hands on it and try to turn it into a game of four quarters with bigger goals, no offside rule and an advertising break every 90 seconds. or sah-ker?ДЇootball is a game in which the ball is played almost exclusively with the foot, except in America, where it's a game in which the ball is played with the foot once every 50 minutes and the rest of the time is thrown about among overpaid steroids-users wearing expanded polypropylene shirts. Still, at least the Germans won't win the' World Cup again. Doubtless, before the competition starts, the earth will have been pushed out of orbit by the weight of the huge mountain of football games, the planet will veer towards the sun and we will all be burnt to a not particularly low-fat crisp. It's World Cup year of course, everyone and their half-breed pups are producing new World Cup football games at the rate of three a minute, for every computer game format known to man. The long and short of it is: it's a nice looking footie game, the running commentary has novelty value, but if you are looking for the definitive footie game wait and see what the new year brings. I could go on, but I won't 'cause the Ed.'s only given me the one page. Your target man dives for a ball automatically when you wanthim to hang back for the rebound. It's also a bit frustrating when you're forced to take a free-kick from just outside the area and can't see the goal. You then find yourself waiting for the camera or screen view to catch up with ball only to see it bouncing in the back of the net. Although player animation is smooth, the fact that you can kick the ball from the half-way line and score is a little unfeasible, especially on a slower machine (486SX25), where you only realise that you've scored because of the resounding cheer that bursts from the crowd.

Player control is potentially good - you can chip, lob, chest, head the ball (as well as perform the now almost obligatory scissor kick), but until you really get used to it, you'll probably find it a little inaccessible.Д®ven though FIFA looks and sounds fantastic, the game, unfortunately, is not without it's faults. It's not that it's not playable, it just takes a little getting used to. Game on?ДЄs for the gameplay - well if you haven't played FIFA before it will come as a bit of a shock. Overall though, the commentary is a valid addition to the game, it's just a shame there aren't any real sound effects when a player thumps the ball or when it hits the bar. you let go a super shot, the goalie grabs the ball out of the air and good ole Tony cries 'Oooh - it hit the woodwork!' It's also a bit slow at times, and Tone tends to scream footie cliches after the action has finished whilst you're left wondering exactly what he's on about.

The commentary? Well, it's amusing at first, but you only begin to really notice it when it starts to repeat itself or when it makes a mistake i.e. Flick through the numerous options, change a few player names, shuffle through some tactics and wowzer - it's footie time! Say what? The game proper then kicks in and off you go. The game starts with a swirlsome intro featuring sweaty footballer types dashing about the field, chasing a ball that seems to have taken on the persona of Wilo' the Whisp on acid. If you have got more than 4 Meg of ram then you're in business. (A bit slow on the uptake these footie commentators.) You can, however, use the Editor to alter the names of your players (a much needed improvement) and although the new name appears in the text at the bottom of the screen, Tony Gubba still uses the old name. indeed, the whizzo intro sequences are notably conspicuous by their absence, although, in its favour, the game automatically skips the intro and disables Tony Gubba's commentary rather than simply crashing. Well, unless you've got more than 4 Meg of ram, not a lot. In world-cup speak, it was something of an Italy - it played okay, was entertaining to watch and didn't overly disappoint, but when it came to the crunch it lacked that certain sparkle to make it a winner (i.e.

It looked quite fab, had more options than an Oxbridge graduate who's uncle is 'somebody' at the bbc and played, well - let's just say that there was room for improvement in the gameplay department.

There must have been squillions of footie games released on the pc last summer and on the face of it, FIFA International Soccer came pretty close to grabbing the cup.
