    90% of the game is scripted therefore almost every single goal is the same, pretty much all matches are the same and the overall gameplay is just unrealistic. Also far too easy to score. Fifa = Glamorised Football PES = Real Football.

    This game is really bad, comparing it with winnig eleven 7, USA should do better soccer games like Japan.Becuse soccer is the sport of the world not fotball,basketball,or baseball.

    One of the worst footy games ever made... even FIFA Soccer 94 beats this piece of ****! What's wrong in this world?

    I don't think this is the best Fifa game ever, and it's definitely not a good football game. Yes, the ball flys right, but if I wanted to study physics I would have taken it up for an a-level. The game gets even worse in football fusion with tcm 2004. Has anyone else managed to timewaste for the whole 90minutes and no one from the other team even come and tackle you.

    You wan't realistic football? Avoid this game, I still can't believe FIFA sold their licence to a development team who has NO IDEA what real football plays like. Wrong likenesses, shoddy renders, zombie players, pointy elbows, monkey looking players, players DON'T LOOK AT THE BALL !, every longshot is a goal (40m away !) and overall the fluidity is missing, I'll give You wan't realistic football?

    The worst football game ever, absolute wánk! Buy PES3 instead, it may not have the licences but what it does have is GAMEPLAY, and that is what counts in any game!

    Why play this if I get bored in 10 minutes, I've been playing PES for years and I'm never gonna stop.

    Pedestrian paced "football" and arcade style action. Simple boring game with little ingenuity, if those little badges on the shirts, tacky music or very obscure foreign teams turn you on then this game will appeal to you.

    I expected this game to be wildly reaslistic. I was very disappointed. Instead the players looked wildly incorrect. You can score from mid field. I am a player and i expect the game to resemble the game i play not the game that one dreams they can play like. This game is so unrealistic it isnt fun. Players have pointy elbows and fouls look like the guy was thrown out of a cannon no one I expected this game to be wildly reaslistic. I was very disappointed.

    Little tweaks in the AI here and there sometimes leave something to be desired (it’s easy to march on down the field until you get near the goal box – then it’s almost impossible) but overall the game is spot on.

    There’s plenty in FIFA 2004 to keep you happy until next season, when hopefully we’ll finally able to execute some plays of greater skill and complexity.

    With the addition of PS2 online play and another tightening of the gameplay across the board, who's going to really be a challenge this year?
