Let's get football crazy!

FIFA 2000

The roar of the crowd, the sense of huddled expectation as the teams come out of the tunnel, the sheer joy of watching your team bounding to the final... you don't really get any of that with FIFA 2000. However, what you do get is a perfectly entertaining little footie game.

Some of the graphics are wonderfully detailed, despite being generally messy, and there are enough options to please even the fussiest gamer. The SFX and music aren't up to much, though, and you can soon get tired of playing on your own. At the end of the day though, football fans are the winners Des.

Verdict

Graphics 80%
Not bad, but very blocky.

The crowd are frying chips!

Playability 80%
Perfectly playable little simulation.

Lastability 40%
No two-player option - it's a lonely game to play.

Overall 73%
Just as good as other footie games.
