The fact that there is not a single referee to be found in the game means that it's perfectly fine to make normally illegal tackles and get away with them. The action is back and forth and leaves gamers little time to plan out strategies, as there will always be someone in your face. The matches themselves are quick and aggressive due to the smaller-sized arenas. The game also supports the DualShock 3's rumble feedback so if you've got an imported controller or just waiting for a local release, be assured you'll be able to feel the subtle in-game vibrations.
The controls for the game are solid and intuitive just a few minutes in practice mode, or an actual match, and you'll practically be a pro. With that said, it might've also been fun if EA had allowed the player to run music stored on the hard drive during matches. Having a good song play during a match can actually turn a regular gamer into a better player as they might find themselves working along with the music. The music, ranging from electronica to samba, really helps emphasize the game's style of encouraging players to dance and "flow" rhythmically with the ball. The music is a perfect match to the game's play style as this soccer game is all about trick plays, juggling, and fancy footwork. While the quantity of play venues is lacking, the in-game music tracks are an interesting mix tape of dance-inducing rhythms. Arena environments are beautiful, but with only seven arenas in total and none to unlock, their appeal may wear off pretty quickly. Take Wayne Rooney for example, it's always a blast looking at his ugly mug. The characters are quite detailed and modeled in cartoony caricature forms which exaggerate a famous footballer's most notorious facial features. The game has got a few things going for itself, but ultimately, for all its pluses there are an equal number of minuses.įIFA Street 3's strongest asset is its vibrant visuals. However, FIFA Street 3 lacks certain elements and game modes that make other soccer games so much fun to play for extended periods of time. This is not to say that the game isn't fun or the gameplay is horrible in fact the controls are great and matches are refreshingly intense. But underneath the highly stylized appearance, there's a lack of gameplay depth which ultimately cuts down the game's longevity. At first glance, FIFA Street 3 faithfully replicates the atmosphere of outdoor street soccer with its bright arenas and upbeat soundtrack, coupled with flashy fast-paced futsal. That's probably the sort of feeling that Electronic Arts aimed at bringing out with FIFA Street 3 however, the game unfortunately doesn't completely deliver that sort of experience.
