FIFA 09 Wii Impressions

[Peji911]

I dont really consider the Wii "next gen", but rather in a category all its own, considering the game play is so different. As such, I feel the wii version should have its own section.

I will not be able to pick up the 360 or PS3 version for another 2 months (when I return to Canada), so I had to 'settle' for this version.

Thus far, I am VERY disappointed. I know the wii is not a graphics machine but PES 08 does it so well, but this version is sooo cartoony.

The gameplay is also disastrous. You can play with the nunchuk or without, but the controls dont seem to fit either way. Hard to explain, but you can only do some things with one arrangement, and others with the other.

Unlike PES, you cant direct guys into space the way you should be able to. I also havent figured out how to complete a cross as opposed to a normal pass. Just a bunch of little issues so far, especially after recently playing PES.

I have only spent a little bit with the game but so far I am disappointed. My friends are loving the PC and 360 version of the game so when I get home I'll definitely be picking it up since this game doesnt appear to be any good.

Again, only after more time playing will I know for sure. So far, 5/10.

Have you played this game anymore, and if so, how have your opinions changed (if any)? The people in the United States won't be getting the game until October 28th (it was pushed back I think), but I'm thinking of getting it. After reading this, however, I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.
