[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

Xbox and PS don't really have characters designed for their consoles. Nintendo on the other hand got famous characters like Mario, Luigi and Yoshi etc. I grew up with Sonic and Mario But I do miss Gran Turismo...

[Neon]

PS errr dosnt really have one....the closest is probably cloud?

[Pedsdude]

I have a PS2 (also got a PS and N64 - plan to get a PS3), and have the following games:

Burnout 3
Driver 3
Eyetoy: Play
Fifa 2004
Fifa 2005
Fifa Street
GTA: SA
GTA: VC
GT3
GT4
NFSU 2

19 games, and I keep them in alphabetical order so I can find the ones I want

Used to have Fifa 2003 but I sold it when I got 2004. I also plan to get Fifa 2006 when it comes out, and/or PES 5.

football games are so boring, its unreal, there all the same, theres minor differences like new players, the teams shirts, mangers etc,.

[Drofder2004]

Used to have Fifa 2003 but I sold it when I got 2004. I also plan to get Fifa 2006 when it comes out, and/or PES 5.

I barely ever play console, and when I do its usually football games, and from what Ive seen and played. Fifa is nothing compared to PES (I had PES when it used to be ISS on the 64 ).

Fifa only rely on their "real names" to sell their game, which th works well. Simple because people are happier to see a celeb in a game than they are at actually playing the game (and the games playability).

Look at fifa Street. WTF is that piece of shit they call a football game

[Neon]

madden street is fun...but cant beat the proper game

cmon im the only person with an xbox?

[Neon]

i didnt bother reading it, but im guessing the xbox is and i dont really care if the specs arnt as gd....xbox's are the best console!

[Pedsdude]

Look at fifa Street. WTF is that piece of shit they call a football game

lol, i completed that in under a week with school as well

I quite like fifa tbh, I have only played PES on the xbox and it was pretty good, although i found the commentator/s annoying, and the fact they have dodgy team names like "Tyneside" instead of Newcastle lol
