FIFA Street 3 Critic Reviews

FIFA Street 3 is about taking all the superficial and superfluous things about modern day football – from the overhead kicks to the pop-culture that surrounds the beautiful game in the 21 st century – and placing them centre stage.

As satisfying as a nutmeg and as exciting as a scissor kick. A vast improvement from before.

FIFA Street 3 thoroughly improves the series with its leap onto the next-gen consoles, not only visually, but in terms of gameplay and all-round appeal as well. However, if you're looking for single-player mileage out of it, you're best of getting a copy of PES or FIFA. This game is unashamedly all about multiplayer party gaming.

If you're a soccer fan you got to go out and try this game, it's actually quite entertaining especially if you play online or have some friends over.

Even with some of the gameplay issues that, if avoided, could have helped to make a better overall game, FIFA Street 3 is still a fun pick-up-and-play experience for the raving soccer fan.

EA have created the football equivalent of "NBA Street" - and it's great.

While slim on modes, the sum of FIFA Street 3’s individual parts makes it recommendable to anyone, including those who aren’t too hot for soccer.

Third game in the FIFA Street series, and EA is still looking for the best balance between playability and fun. It's enjoyable to play, but it can become tedious after a while.

It's a good job the multiplayer's so enjoyable because, if we're being honest, the single-player mode is pretty shallow.

FIFA Street 3 offers some nice improvements over previous FIFA Street games, but unfortunately is devoid of a time-investing career mode, making it one that you might get bored with before too long.

These improvements stand in contrast to the continued weak goalie AI, unhelpful camera work, and iffy passing.

A fantastic sense of style puts the series' best foot forward, but it's at a cost of losing the relative depth found in the previous two installments.

A markedly better game than its predecessors.

Unfortunately, it looks as if there isn’t enough content or new ideas that will make many gamers readily come back for more once the original challenges are completed.

FIFA Street 3 would be a great game if it could manage to find some depth. As it is, the game is immediately pleasing, but runs out of puff too quickly, especially in solo play.

FIFA Street 3 dazzles like thrift-store bling round a pit bull terrier’s neck. Shallow but reasonably satisfying, the best is still yet to come from the FIFA Street series.

It's got to be the best FIFA Street to date. The presentation is exactly where it needs to be and deserves high marks. Gamers will be pleasantly surprised to find such a smooth and attractive game. Disappointingly, the gameplay feels only moderately better than the title's predecessors.

Overall this game doesn’t take any chances and it suffers because of it.

FIFA Street 3 seems to be steering the series in the right direction as it’s an improvement over the first two installments. Still, it’s lacking in a few key areas and that’s what keeps it from attaining the glory that other Street games have been able to find.

It lacks pace, but makes up for it with skills and basic soccer strategy. What it lacks is teams and depth in its gameplay modes.
