Computer & Video Games' UK FIFA 06 review - What a discrimination!!!

This is unreal.

Have a look at it:
http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=622084

I haven't seen bigger discrimination for one game in ages. 50%? You gotta be joking!

I don't know wether they just put a disk into a tray, load it up, took it out and said this is crap... They must have... It's disgusting!!!

FIFA 06 is quite good actually, definitely Best FIFA ever made. It doesn't deserve less than 80%.

Some reviewers... #$^% them.

They're right on the ball with that one.

fifa games suck and always will

That doesn't count as a review. About 150 words... not a review.

I have a feeling a reviewer did that on the 1st place.

So true, man. Some reviewers are so biased towards FIFA games. I hate it too when couple of my friends saying, "What now from FIFA 06 ? It's still crappy games from years to years." Suck, suck, suck, that's what I've got from my buddies.

LMAO that "reviewer" didn't even play the game and deserves being hit the crap out...

Don't you realise most of these reviewers are former fifa fan boys? His critism about how the ball is like stuck to the players foot is so true and nobody could complain about that but that review is actualy pretty damn biased.

I could spend a good amount of time here bashing fifa but i could easily spend as much time praising it too. I would personally give it a 7 but fifa definately needs an overhaul next year. I don't enjoy scoring exactly the same goal over and over, maybe because i havn't played it long enough but i seem to score the same goals all the time and that ruins the attacking play.

Next year they need to work on the psychical (don't bash the spelling it's a bloody hard word to spell) side of things because currently, defending in this game is the most unrealistic representation in a modern game i have seen. There is no shoulder barging and holding the players off here and i think that itself would hold a totally new element to the game.

of course its a review, its just concise and accurate.

The ball doesnt move like a ball, the players are sluggish and poorly animated. He hit it right on the head.

you PES fans have an *** for a head

Those of you who think it's a sin to the football gods to play FIFA must be drugged. And the fact that you don't even give it a try is even worse.

This review is absolutely ridiculous (or comentary or whatever), because to give it a 5 means that the game is borderline

Now, just compare the overall "GAME" to PES... they still have those crappy menus and button clicking and moving sound (I remember that in my little nintendo from the 80's), the music on-screen is that generic keyboard , the sound of the crowd couldn't be more generic and the master league is nothing but an attempt to have any worth career mode.

Gameplay is still king, but just gameplay doesn't make a game perfect, no matter how much you fanboys think so...

I love to play PES, but I hate it as a game... it's not a game in my point of view, it's a great simulation... there's no challenge beyond the 4 lines in my point of view... whereas in FIFA you have a much greater depth outside of the four lines, and it just feels like a game from the 21st century,

not an 80's game with good graphics and gameplay...

Fifa's gameplay may still suck compared to PES, but think of it, it is solid to an extent, so if the review was 5 out of 10 for gameplay, that would make a little more sense...

So you fanboys stop :Bow: to Konami, they don't pay your bills...

And that reviewer deserves :hit:

I would give FIFA a 7.5 and 8.5 to PES....

Why get upset about the review? Who cares? Ive played it and approved it for myself, I havent let anyones review influence me. I love it, and my review and yours is the only one that matters. Have you never seen a good review of something you thought was a pile of tosh? Reviewers are humans with different needs from life including gaming. Reviews are influenced by the reviewers needs and predjudices. I take all reviews with a pinch of salt.
Oh, and I bought my full game today. Looks like nearly every other person in the store was buying it. I was chatting to the shopman and he said people were waiting outside this morning for him to open the shop and sell it. Not the world PES fanboys want to live in. They want a world were there are no Fifa buyers.
In a few weeks people will be queing for PES5. This is choice, we all have choice so respect each others.

you guys gotta understand one thing.... 50% is ok for a FIFA game... what is not ok is 80%, 85%, etc, that the past FIFA got from alot of reviews.

I wont start the 1000000000000 fight between fifa and pes/we... but my opinion is that this is the best fifa ever... and it deserves 50%, because there's a football game called pes5.
If that game didn´t exist, then FIFA should be rated alot higher.

We also need to be able to ignore stupid posts that arise to cause arguments. I feel its more fun to ignore them than comment.

Congratulations on showing a complete lack of knowledge about the publishing industry, there.

Reviews often have to be as short as 100-200 words. Do you really think magazines could fit everything in if they let every single review be 500 words or more? It's actually - and I speak from experience on one of the biggest magazines in the country, here - a lot harder to do a good review in under 200 words than it is when you're allowed over 500.

You may not agree with the review, and that's fair enough. But in terms of being a good, short review (and blame the magazine's editor for only allowing a short review of such a top-line game - an oversight there, I think) it actually communicates all the relevant information really well.

LMAO I think we should take this to the Fifa vs Japanese fanboy crap forum I just wrote a fine word of proza there...

Terrible review. He clearly didn't even try manager mode, he's just repeating what it says on the box in that section.

Maybe gameplay enhances to the overall game, but I doubt that if there were generic faces on all players, no sound on the crowd, only one stadium to play in, no night, afternoon game, etc... you would whine like a baby....

GAMEPLAY ALONE WILL NEVER MAKE A GAME PERFECT, you need the surrounding elements to be perfect as well...

I also had read that review and really i didnt even take it serious...if you read well then you see that the guy might only have played one match and then stopped...He actually thinks the game is still the same cus in the previous years not much had changed. He gives me the idea that he 'suspects' nothing has changed in fifa06 but he doesnt know for sure so he just gave it a low rating! VERY unprofessional review. If you want a good review then just read that of Wolf...he gave a great review AND he doesnt get paid for it like that other guy who gave us a review of 50 words.

Three gripes about the game wich is seriously doing my box in

1. You can't do decent tackles anymore (without getting yellow/red)
2. The passing and through balls really really suck, when you getsome to make a run down the wing and you hold or press /\ the ball ends up going 7 inches in front of my player, so that the other team steals my damn ball.
3. The ball goes through the net.

Thats it

if you compare fifa to pes it will always come around 6. BUT WHY DO THEY DO THAT? FIFA is not pes

Nice picture, the player missing his upper body:
