FIFA Soccer 2004
Overall: Probably one of the most fun games to play besides Halo(in my humble opinion), If you love soccer or even any sport I almost guarantee you'll like Fifa Soccer 2004. Also with EA sports bio when you play other 2004 EA sports games you unlock rewards in other games (i.e. if you play madden 2004 you also unlock rewards in Fifa 2004 and vice versa)
Gameplay: Lots of improvements to 2003. Off the Ball control lets you control another player that doesn't have the ball and allows you to do some insane plays (offensively). Shooting is a whole lot easier and more accurate, but goalies in the game are also a lot better. Another great new part of this game is the two new modes available in the game. Career mode allows you to build a career of your own in almost any club team out of 23 leagues. The only reason this game lacks in gameplay is because of its lack of system link (no xbox connect support :-/). This game is still awesome and you still can play multiplayer on one screen.
Graphics: Wow the details are just pretty. Of course you still have the broadcast view (like looking down from box seats at a stadium) during gameplay, up close like throw ins, Penalty kicks, and replays all have exquisite detail. For visual effects it definitely is on par witb other sports games out there. Oh yeah and the Ball looks SHINY!
Audio: Well I believe the commentary is much improved, even after 7 or 8 hours of playing I started to hear a lot of repetitive anouncing. Of course 7 or 8 hours is not bad it still can get tedious those nights your playing with friends and no ladies around. But by far the soft rock music soundtrack goes really well (a lot of music I listen to) and sounds from in game action are all authentic sounding.
Suggestions: Maybe 2005... system link?
Online tournaments on xbox live so you and your friends can have a league tournament (rewards)
Overall Score: 9.0 / 10
