I really enjoy the new and improved FIFA 07. The graphics have really had a huge lift playing on the Xbox 360. The amount of detail for each player on the field is impressive. The gameplay feels alot better. Rather than the arcade type feel the previous versions have had, this game requires alot more skill, passing and imagination to score great goals.

As a negative, they have removed the special moves option, however the new feel to the game lets you quickly forget about that. What happened to the Spanish league? No more Barcelona or Real Madrid unfortunatley but other than these few negativfes, I would say its a must have for all the FIFA fans out there.

After playing the demo I thought that this game would be a nice addition in the successful Fifa line up. But now after playing a couple of games with the full version I have to take that back...... What was EA thinking??? To start of with, only teams from six of the top-flight leagues are present - including the Premier League, Serie A, LFP Primera and Bundesliga - as well as 38 international sides. Next thing is there is only 2 possible controller configurations and you have to get used to changing players with the left trigger now as this is the only option. Its very hard at the beginning but you do get used to. The online play works well and EA obviously sorted out the corner bug, but there is no New Zealand or Australian Leaderboard online which really is a let off. The gameplay is okay but players react very slow to your controls and it is quite hard to put in a special move. The graphics are the best thing about the game. A few question marks on the news ticker which lets you watch up to the minute results from all top soccer leagues....who needs that when playing fifa ?????

Closing Comment:
Although FIFA 07 is certainly the visual revolution we were expecting on Xbox 360, the gameplay is a bit of a step backwards for the series. Plus what happened to all the soccer leagues around the world which we were very happy about in 2006.
