FIFA Soccer 96

Grafiken är mycket bra, ljudet skönt och spelkänslan helt okej.

Auf EA Sports ist Verlaß: kaum schickt sich ein Softwarehersteller an, am Thron eines ihrer Spiele auch nur leicht zu wackeln, so schütteln die Kanadier mal schnell eine neue und wieder tonangebende Version aus dem Ärmel. Das ausgeklügelte Paß- und Schußsystem, die obergeniale Optik und die flotten, stets passenden Sprüche von Wolf-Dieter Poschmann machen FIFA Soccer 96 zum besten Sportspiel aller Zeiten!

FIFA '96 is the best FIFA yet and that means it's the best anywhere. While some may prefer scores like 9-8, there is plenty of action in the 2-1 games of FIFA. A must-have for any soccer fan and a great game for anybody.

Multiplayer and modem options; brilliant graphics; realistic play; comprehensive league and tournament play. You'll need a Pentium 90 or better to really enjoy the high resolution graphics. If you're in the market for a top-notch sports sim, look no further.

There's no doubt that FIFA '96 is currently the best football game on the Saturn, any kind of football, that is. A game for soccer fans of great games alike, FIFA '96 is an excellent continuation of a superb series.

VS: Virtual Stadium - the buzz word of the next generation of EA Sports games. A truly 3-D playing field with some nice little soccer players peppered on top running about is what you will get. Some great gameplay as seen on the 3DO version, but this time the graphics are souped-up as is the audio, which boasts over a million possible combinations of color commentary. Not bad.

If you're into soccer and you're in the market for a Genesis sim, look no further than FIFA Soccer '96. If you don't own a Genesis, go out and buy one. FIFA ;96 is that good.

Although the sound earns a yellow card in this go-around, FIFA '96 delves deeper into the international world of soccer. FIFA Soccer '96 still has no worthy SNES rivals.

Even with the league features, FIFA Soccer '96 might ultimately be viewed as too simplistic for real soccer strategy junkies, who'd probably prefer a text-based player management simulation anyway. But as John Motson might say, for the rest of us, it's one cheeky little game.

Hat man sich einmal an die Steuerung gewöhnt, reift allmählich ein klares Fazit heran: Auf PC-Bildschirmen gibt es zur Zeit nichts Besseres in Sachen Fußball. Das beneidenswert durchgestylte FIFA 96 erfüllt auch gehobene Sportsimulations-Ansprüche.

I'm not as much of a soccer enthusiast, but this is definitely a quality title. The animation is nice (but a bit framey), the screen movement is generally smooth (but a bit choppy), the soccer play mechanics are EA solid...Not up to the 3DO version, but quite good.

FIFA Soccer 96 also lets you play an exhibition game (Friendly), Tournament (twenty-four team World or eight team Domestic), League (eight teams play members of the league twice), Playoffs (four rounds involving eight teams), and Practice, where you can perfect the various moves in the game. The best thing is that FIFA Soccer 96 includes battery backup to save your progress during the League, Playoff or Tournament games. That's right, no more passwords! If you can live with the uneven pace and slightly restrictive view, then FIFA Soccer 96 will more than satisfy those craving some depth in their sports titles.

FIFA '96 rolls on the Playstation with all the glory of a World Cup final match. While there may be more 32-bit soccer games on the horizon, you'll be hard-pressed to find any sims that bring home a more realistic soccer experience.

FIFA '96 utilizes 3-D perspectives to bring this soccer game to life. The multiple viewpoints let you catch the action from different angles. This title doesn't leave much to be desired, including traditional soccer moves and play-by-play commentary. The action could be more intense, but that's about all it's lacking.

More than 3800 real player names and ratings, unlimited camera angels with seven preset ones, commentary amounting to 18,000 different phrases, new moves like the Dummy, Nutmeg and Crossover Fake, 12 international leagues with tons of teams and multiple skill levels. What do you think about that kids? Not too shabby, eh? If you've got a Playstation go pick up one of these bad buys, it'll make you smile.

FIFA puts all the strategy and intensity of the world's leading international sport at your fingertips. If you're looking for a realistic soccer challenge on the Saturn, prepare to be knocked on your grass.

FIFA Soccer '96 for the Sony Playstation and the Sega Saturn comes with great graphics, many teams, and provides the feel of realistic play, but we found that FIFA Soccer on the 3DO easier to play!

It doesn't get much better than this. I'll say this now - if you're a soccer game fan, you must own this game. Whether you like arcade-style action or deep simulation, FIFA has it all.

Ran an die Joypads! An FIFA Soccer führt kein Weg vorbei. Auf das Gebolze in der Halle kann ich locker verzichten, und in Sachen Spielbarkeit steht FIFA 96 der jüngsten Auflage kaum nach: Exzellentes Paßsystem, spannende Torszenen und eine atmosphärische Soundkulisse – Fußballerherz, was willst du mehr?

Probably running out of ideas of how to improve an already outstanding soccer game, EA decided that this edition would concentrate on realism. The players are modeled from 3D animations, and although most of the detail is lost in their small size, the players definitely look more realistic than they did in past years. The new animations look fine, but the gameplay has lost some of its arcade sensibility. The computer opponents are extremely quick and it's hard to maintain possession of the ball for more than a second. Passing is difficult, and the game definitely seems less fun and more frustrating than past editions. However, if you've mastered the other FIFAs and are hungry for a challenge, this game is for you. And soccer die-hards are sure to appreciate the 3800 players from 237 teams in 12 worldwide leagues. Personally, I think the series peaked with FIFA '95.

Overall, if you can tolerate the control issue, you will find yourself digging in deep to Electronic Arts' first PlayStation sports title FIFA Soccer 96.

The big picture is this, FIFA Soccer 96 offers quality soccer action that is just as good, if not better than competition even with the sluggish controls.
