FIFA 2001 Review

Graphics
The graphics for FIFA 2001 are beautiful. It's like damn! The first time you see it, it looks incredible. The green grass looks so real. Even the crowd appears life like. The players are very well detailed. You even see their hair moving as the wind hits their faces. The game is very smooth with no flaws. The rain effects are just spectacular. As the balls hits the grass, you can see the ball splash the water. When the time of day is night, the lights of the stadium give off its big, clear ray of light. Or when it's sunny, you see the bright yellow sun and the dark shadowy ends of a field. You can't say much besides AWESOME.

Sound
The music is pretty cool. It sounds like a fast paced dance tune and at times, it is pure funk. Hehehehe. You hardly get bored of it because their are about 12 songs on the game. So your not stuck with one. The sound of the crowd is very well heard. When you score they get pumped up and if you foul someone, they get pissed off. You know how it is. You can also hear chanting and whistles. It is truly awesome.

The commentating is great. Though at times, whatever the two guys say, it may not make sense. But that is rare. It hardly ever happens. Not to me atleast. Every time someone gets a yellow or red card, the referee and the player who was carded starts fighting. You hear music in the background as if was an action movie. Sometimes, the referee puts his hands out and tells the player to come. It seems he is saying "Come on, bring it on". It adds so much life to the game.

Conclusion
If you want a great game, then this is what you need. It gives good competition and it never gets boring. If you want to try a new type of sport game, then you should try this. It's very fun to play and features some really neat features. As for being a "sim" type game, this is very close to reality. Some things may not seem real because the developers can only do so much. But other than that, this is a solid game.
