Ok, this past night I downloaded FIFA 06 demo and PES 5 demo as well, but since FIFA got done early I was playing it a bit.
I must say, it has come a long way. Massive improvements, I'm happy about that. But the dribbling... meh, annoying. The gameplay was surprisingly nice, you can even configure the buttons to the same style as PES! But anyways, I found no problem in scoring soon though, and the last game I really played was FIFA 2001 (2002 doesn't work on my laptop, and never bought a FIFA game since). Obviously I can't go by graphics, my laptop is junk
, but was a nice friendly game.
But then...
I went to play PES 5, and right away (RIGHT AWAY) when the kick-off was made and I started running and dribbling with Ronaldo I completely forgot about FIFA
. Honestly, WE 8 (PES 4) beats it, PES 5... ha, FIFA stays even farther away! And the game looked much better as well despite being medium res at 800x600, and I only came close to scoring, only managed to score once on the demo (about 5 minutes long) since I just went default (didn't try fiddling with strategy and so on).
Yet again, PES 5 is an absolutely no-doubter purchase, but FIFA is fun... but just cannot compare yet.
