Well, being that I'm without an Xbox for a couple weeks due to the
RROD, the only impressions I've been able to gather have been from the 4-5 Youtube Vids I've seen.
In short, the game looks and sounds fantastic.
The physics are not over done, the presentation and atmosphere are noticeably enhanced, and the moments the game provides are truly immersive.
I saw a disallowed goal on a breakaway that was just awesome. I loved how they showed a few replays before the refs came back from the phone. This is the stuff that makes games addicting and that will provide tons of replay value over the next year.
BTW, I sent my Xbox to Texas yesterday and its already there. So I might get a quick return.
...for real.
