I would love to see more emphasis placed on defending and quick one-touch passing. Only dribbling will fill up your Game Breaker meter which is just not right. The trick controls are definitely an improvement over previous iterations, but the simplicity of the system combined with the haphazard defending makes the game feel shallow and unrewarding after a while. Crazy moves, feints, and tricks are executed by simply rolling around the analog stick. This makes FIFA Street 3 a very noob-friendly title. The lack of repetitive commentary really works in the title's favor. Thankfully, there are no annoying announcers to drive you crazy as there was in NFL Tour. I don't enjoy Euro-beat music, but considering the setting it fades appropriately into the background and adds a lot to the overall feel. Regardless, it's safe to say you'll want to beat the Street Challenge if for no other reason than to acquire all of the unlockable players. Raul's nose looks like the Wicked Witch of the West's Rooney's got a face only a bulldog could love and Donovan's forehead is about as shiny and bulbous as a brass doorknob! There is one glaring mistake though: where are Ronaldinho's bucked teeth? I mean come on, that guy should look like a beaver. Moreover, the hand drawn caricatures of the players are so well done that you will be laughing out loud at the strikingly funny resemblances.
Whether playing on the beach, an oil rig, or in the Mediterranean sun, you'll be transported to a very believable world.
FIFA STREET 3 PS3 TRICKS 1080P
Besides the fact that it outputs at 1080p and at 60 fps, the engaging locations, hilarious player likenesses, and content appropriate music are near perfect. The game's presentation is about as good as it can be.
