13 of 14 people found the following review helpful A Step In the Right Direction, October 29, 2008 By  Mert Hekimci "DiGaHoLe" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  This review is from: FIFA Soccer 09 (DVD-ROM) FIFA 09 is a step in the right direction by EA Canada. The New Features: The new collision engine and the shielding system add value to a gameplay engine that was already fun since 07. Tackling now looks and plays more realistic than before. These new mechanics add more spontaneous moments to the flow of the game. Physical attributes play a stronger role now thanks to both the collision and shielding system. Players like Drogba or Adebayor can muscle their way into the box, or hold on to the ball until reinforcements arrive like never before. The mouse control that has been introduced this year for the first time is a welcome addition and is a fresh breath for the genre as well as the franchise itself. Although I'm not a huge fan of this style of control so far, I can see its merits. It will take getting used to, but it is well executed and fun. Undeniably, the most successful video games are the ones that build upon the strength of the system's native...

J. Smith (Bloomfield, MI USA) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  This review is from: FIFA Soccer 09 (DVD-ROM) To begin with, I agree with the numerous complaints regarding DRM. The gaming industry needs to adopt a less draconian method for protecting intellectual property that doesn't compromise the privacy of the end-user. That said, this review is of the game itself. As a long-time FIFA fan, I'll admit to having been very cynical regarding EA's promise to introduce updated graphics to the PC version of this game. As an Xbox 360 owner who enjoys playing FIFA on the PC as well, I felt very much ripped-off by the past years' PC editions. While the next-gen console editions of the game offered life-like graphics and physics, PC users were continually offered mere ports of the PS2 version of the game. FIFA 08 was relegated to the dust heap after about a month of disappointing play. I'm happy to report that EA kept its promise, at least in my humble opinion. FIFA 09 for the PC is a much-improved product. Admittedly, the PC version still lacks the complete physics...

Mcmahon (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews = Fun:  This review is from: FIFA Soccer 09 (DVD-ROM) Electronic Arts thinks everyone is a pirate waiting to happen and for some reason they seem to think that paying customers will put up with just about anything to play their games... So if you buy this game, be aware that you'll be limited to 3 or 5 activations and then you'll have to call Electronic Arts at your expense if you want to install it again. Your expense is currently about $[...]/minute in the US, check EA's support page for your rate if you don't line in the US. Say you sit on hold and get the call done in ten minutes. There goes another $[...] to play a game you supposedly already own! What is an activation? Install the game, that's an activation. Change a piece of hardware, that uses an activation. Reinstall Windows without changing any hardware, that uses up an activation. You might even use up an activation upgrading a video or sound driver. Adding a USB peripheral device could use up an activation. You get 5 of these, then the game ceases to...
