Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Sports games have never really been my bag, but for someone like me, who has barely any interest in football, FIFA International Soccer was one of the few games in the genre I'd consider playing.

While there had been plenty of attempts at creating a computerised version of the beautiful game, FIFA represents something of a watershed moment. Still a far cry from the annualised cash-grabbing juggernaut it would eventually become, the original is an incredibly accessible, not to mention highly polished interpretation of the sport, managing to appeal to aficionados and novices alike. There's a decent number of options on offer that can tailor the gameplay to offer both arcade or simulation-oriented experiences, variable pitch and weather settings, team formations and more. The player control scheme is excellent, allowing you to assume control of the closest player to the ball easily enough, while lobbing, passing and shooting are controlled by the A, B and C buttons on the joypad, with the strength of the shot increasing the longer the button is held.

Football fans more versed in the sport may have a different opinion, but for a complete novice like myself, FIFA serves as an excellent entry-point. It looks and sounds great, and the overall experience is a highly positive one. The series would blow up in a way no-one could imagine, not always for the better, but credit where it's due - FIFA International Soccer is an excellent virtual game of footie.
