    We're floored by the effort; if EA Sports can fix a few minor niggles and implement ongoing audiovisual upgrades, we expect big things from the series.

    The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is challenging enough to make it feel more like a sim than arcade game.

    Some hefty load times and dekes awkwardly mapped to the d-pad are my only major complaints in what is otherwise an excellent handheld presentation of the sport. [May 2005, p.136]

    When all is said and done, then, FIFA Soccer for the PSP is not only a great portable sports game, but a great sports game in its own right.

    Speaking of depth, FIFA for the PSP gives gamers just about everything you would want in a soccer title.

    Bottom line, the game is fun to play. It is one of the reasons I do split time playing FIFA and MLS.

    The analog stick is not the PSP’s best friend where FIFA Soccer is concerned but other than that the game flows nicely once you get the hang of things.

    The PSP's 16:9 aspect ratio inherently allows for a broad perspective, which serves the dual purpose of providing more impressive visuals and enabling players to follow more of the action than a 4:3 screen would allow.

    The create-a-player mode is surprisingly deep and offers you a wealth of options. [July 2005, p.79]

    Control issues, lagging response time and a rushed-to-market feel water-down what should have been the best soccer game on PSP.

    There's no franchise mode, but I'll swap wireless multiplay for that any day. [May 2005, p.96]

    One puzzling omission is a full career mode. [July 2005, p.86]

    It's probably the best soccer game you'll find on ANY handheld so you can't expect something that you play on the consoles.
