Likewise, the aural side of FIFA Street 3 impresses, and this is one of the few games to actually benefit from EA's insistence on pinning an urban backbeat to its titles. The look extends to the arenas in which the action plays out – from a Mediterranean beach to a rooftop jaunt, the pitches are vibrant and in keeping with the upbeat tone of the game. And Peter Crouch's mutated attributes as a human beanstalk are faithfully ported over, lending him the air of a man liable to snap in two at the faintest breeze. By and large this approach does wonders for the game's presentation – not only are the likes of Rooney and Ronaldo injected with an added dose of character, the look clearly distinguishes the game from more serious attempts to tackle the sport. Taking its visual cues from the likes of Team Fortress 2, it stars the cream of the current footballing crop, all presented through a distinctive cartoon filter. FIFA Street 3 is the first Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 outing for Electronic Art's urban take on the art of running around and chasing a ball – and it is admittedly a big leap forward for the series. That wouldn't be such a bad thing, if it weren't for the fact FIFA Street 3 has about as much depth and lasting appeal as said advert.Īcrobatic+and+adept,+Brazil's+answer+to+Joe+Cole+features+strongly. It's a little like taking charge of one of those pre-World Cup football commercials that are dripping with cash and ego. FIFA Street 3 – a game with no throw-ins, no long balls, and certainly nothing as dull as the offside rule – isn't concerned with muddy knees and scoreless slogs, and instead offers a bulging sack of trickery with which to dazzle amongst sun-kissed backdrops and impossibly gorgeous locales. The step-overs and feints as most famously practiced by the two Ronnies (Ronaldo and Ronaldinho) never fail to evoke admiration from fans and they certainly suggest a more exotic game than the humble throw-in, frenzied clearance or desperate goal mouth fumbles that more readily mark out our national pastime.
