Soccer isn't really my forte. I can't really say I gave this game a super serious or honest full review, but I played it enough to get the gist of it. Fifa Soccer 07 is the GBA port of this multi-platform game that was made for the PC, Ps2, Xbox, Gamecube, and probably other systems as well. For this rendition of the game, they incorporated music from the other games and tried to crunch it down, which means crunchy singing. friggin EA. There are a few modes to choose from including Career mode, Tournament play, and some Challenges. For my playthrough I simply did the MLS Tournament Cup(American Trophy). This is clearly a non-American game so I gave it the non-American treatment. When you start a match, your guys run out onto the field, and this is where it gets immediately not-so-good. The graphics are kinda... shitty. Not the worst but, they were clearly reaching with this game. In addition, you don't have any directions towards which goal is yours and which is your opponents. You have to just kinda, guess. I figured out later that using the radar I could see all their guys lined up on one side of the field. you control 1 character that switches constantly to the closest guy next to the ball. The controls are pretty limited, but more or less, R for sprint, A to kick the ball, B to pass, and L+A to do a kick slide to kneecap your opponents and get a yellow card. The kneecapping is very important. Even on the easiest difficulty, the AI will constantly be in your face/way and the goalies will ALWAYS block you unless you pass to shoot or shoot, run in, and shoot again. The controls feel a bit delayed and sometimes the characters won't exactly do what you want. The timer is also kinda weird, it counts up for some reason, to a weird time too. Maybe I just don't understand soccer but, yeah. Credits are in the main menu under "My FIFA 07".

All in All, FIFA strikes out with a 5.0 score for it's basic uninspiring gameplay. The game felt empty, slapped together, and un-fun. It's soccer but very boring soccer too. The music is also crunchy. Movement is kinda slow.
