  1. More like the well-refined older brother of the entire franchise rather than a fledging title on a new system.
  2. Spank!

    Fifa has got all the right connections while "ISS" is much better qualified to do its job.

    The best thing you can do if you want a fantastic footy game on your new PS2 is to find a copy of PSone's "ISS Pro Evolution." It'll be half the price, but twice as much fun.

    I use to Love this game. "Use to be" the best football game i have ever played. But when u come fom a N64 to a PS2. theres no argument. But I use to Love this game. "Use to be" the best football game i have ever played. But when u come fom a N64 to a PS2. theres no argument. But after playing PES4/WE8 Theres nothing more to say than. FIFA Can't make real football games. Soccer, as many of us call it, its more about getting possession and keeping it. fifa is like, 'lets run through ppl to get the ball. Tacklings gotta be realistic. and the ball.. pfft. what is it a bouncy ball or something. But like i said. use to be great. but now its not.. i never play it nemore.. neone want it? ill see it to ya.. hahaha.. also. don't turn around and say 2005 is better.. yeah it might be. but its still a FIFA soccer game. it's probably just got better graffics...
