ign is full of crap. they're americans, they shouldnt be allowed to review a football game, lol (soccer for them).
ok, sorry for some americans who love and understand soccer, but come on, fifa world cup is still very beyond pes5 gameplay wise.
i have an open mind, i always try the latest fifa, i wished it was better than pes, cause it has all the teams, players, atmosphere, menus, sound, etc people can wish for. And in pes you have to patch the game. and that kind of annoys me, cause with xbox360 i get this feeling that i'll be playing pes6 and wont be able to patch it and make it perfect like in pc. So, in THAT aspect fifa kicks some serious ass.
but i played the demo of fifa world cup for 3, 4 days.... and it was cool. i imagined the game on xbox360 and i couldnt wait to buy it. gameplay was ok, very sattisfying. the shotting is alot better, etc. except for through pass. every through pass would put my sriker face to face with the goalkeeper, i couldnt stop scoring the same goal every time. but i guess (wish) thats just cause of the difficulty level of the demo.
but after those 3, 4 days i kept playing fifa i went back to try a pes5 match... and OMG, it felt like a all new game. its like it was the first time i played pes, it is so so so much better than fifa... just when i went to play that match of pes i realized how fifa was not that ok as i was thinking and feeling it was. playing pes again, made me realise how bad the ball feels in fifa. it feels like a baloon, like it has no heaviness. in pes you "feel" the ball. and theres just so many thinghs that fifa still lacks compared to pes.
i know pes has its faults, but spending 3, 4 days in the fifa demo and going back to pes seemed like pes was perfect.
i say all this with no joy, cause i wanted to buy fifa world cup for the xbox360, but i just wont now. i'll wait for pes6, which is going to take a longgg while...
im sad, cause i'll miss all the greatness of fifa (graphics, atmosphere, licenses, sound,etc),but i just wont spend 70 euros knowing that i prefer to play my patched pes5 on pc.
