Kayo

I just thought I might try to help out those who can't decide between getting this title or letting it pass by. I am personally very impressed with FIFA 09 for the Wii. I was looking for a new football game, since playing PES 08 Wii for some time started to bore me and the club/player content was outdated. So I bought FIFA 09 without any high hopes, but the game sure did surpass my expectations. The gameplay is kinda similar to PES 08 where you point to pass and in some cases dribble. The shooting system is also like FIFA 08 and you have the "strenght meter" on the shots that you didnt have in PES 08. The graphics are far better than PES 08 and FIFA 08, but still nowhere near PS3/360 level. The defending is also far better in my opinion. It feels like you really have control of the defence, rather than panicing (as in PES 08) while seeing your opposite team strikers come against you with the ball. Few other thing that I thought EA did a good job with are the different modes that the Wii version have, specially the online modes which are really fun (interactive league for example). It's not just 1v1 matches such as PES 08, but you can also have ranked/unranked matches which gives the online mode more depth. The only thing that the game suffers from are the graphics (if you compare it to PS3/360, but thats expected) and a few gameplay elements that PES 08 introduced (such as dragging arrows to decide the running points for free players). I still prefer FIFA 09 to be ther better game and think that the game as a whole far surpasses PES 08. Since PES 09 comes out in summer 09? I would say get this game if you're a football fan. Sorry if something isn't clear, it's really late here and I am about to sleep. If there's anything you're wondering, feel free to ask me.

I got this on the 13th, but havent had time to play it that much. The game costed around 53€, kinda much for a port..

What makes me so pissed of is that all of this doesnt make sense. SSBB was announced way before MK Wii and is already released around the world except PAL region. How does Nintendo think while releasing MK Wii/Wii Fit before this game, which was announced way after. MK Wii/Wii Fit should come out in June, not Brawl. I doubt the translation is such a big problem, they should be able to do it within a month or two.

How is Mario Kart Wii coming out in the same month as Brawl when MK Wii release date is April 11th. Wii Fit also comes out in April 25th.

Just read that the Create-A-Finisher option which is included in the PS2, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360 version, wont be on the Wii. Makes sense right? I was mostly looking forward to this and now Yukes f'd it up again. I sometimes think that devs doing multiplats doesnt want to sell much on the Wii version by removing simple options/mods (which on the PS2, PSP) just to not make the game too good.

^^ me too... I find it funny that even the last gen PS2 versions are more in-depth than the Wii version.

I was talking about 2009. There is a Wii gameplay video at IGN.

The health meter in the Wii version is really bad. You cant work on your enemies body parts to weakend them. A match also ends in like 1-2 mins which havent been fixed yet since the last version.

I agree. I am feeling the same way, my hype is almost completely dead :/

aww.. I dont understand why the editing mode was removed since its even on the PS2 version.. anyway thanks for the answer

I really hope that SSBB atleast gets released during May in Europe.

Hello everyone I have a question. Is there any transfer player/editing option where you can update your roster after the latest transfers? Will these transfers/editing work online, or will you only be able to play with the "original" exhibition teams? I also wonder if there are any ways to remove the player names when you point your wiimote at them since it looks abit annoying not being able to see your player sometimes.
