Manufacturer's Description
Step onto the pitch and play professional football your way in FIFA 09. Experience the most authentic football simulation EA Sports has delivered as you live the fantasy of playing as a professional player and customise the game to suit your style and ability.
Powered by the third generation of the EA Sports football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core gameplay additions and enhancements that deliver the most responsive, intelligent and realistic action ever for the series. Enjoy turning defenders with more controlled dribbling and ball control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater accuracy, placing the ball exactly where you want it.
With new player momentum physics the speed and weight of the player determines everything from the distance of a slide tackle and the power of a header to the severity of player collisions and the height of a player's jump. Plus, players now behave according to their physical attributes with larger, stronger players dominating collisions, battles for control of the ball, and position in challenges for two player headers.

Fifa 03 was good, Fifa 08 was better but Fifa 09 is great.
The PSP verson makes you achive targets and driveing your team to victory. I play as Arsenal, as I suppot them. We win most games and the extras are a target attack.
Kick OFF
Be a tean, Play everyone of your team. Get your shoots and drive your team to a goal.
Be A pro
Become the footballer you want to be and greatness and goals can make you the dream man.
Most of the others based on the website and if you like goals and football this is the one for you.
If you liked Fifa 08 you'll love Fifa 09

Fifa 09 is a great game. No-one has a decent reasonm why not ! Maybe it's to like 08 but that was to much like 07. Look at the difference between 07 and 09. Their making progress. Unfortunately I can't rate it at 5stars as it has not got enough managerial detail. I want some features from Football Manager to make this game perfect.

I have had FIFA 07 for some time and still one of my favourite games on the PSP, as well as PES 08 and FM 07,I'm a bit of a footy fan, even at 38.
I was expecting FIFA 09 to be quite a leap forward compared to FIFA 07, I was dissappointed. It is virtualy the same game, sorry if anyone disagrees but it is. Yes you have the new bit where you play as a specific player but in terms of graphics and control and gameplay it is the same.
Great game so 5 stars, 3 stars as dissappointingly no improvement on the game from 2 years.
If you don't have a FIFA game for your PSP buy it, you will enjoy, if you have FIFA 07 or 08, don't waste your money.

I am a big fan of pro evolution but this year with the release of fifa bein nearly a month earlier i thought i would try it out. Big mistake. The graphics compare to a poor pc internet game. The gameplay is some of the worst i have ever played. The fatigue runs out to early and makes the game even worse. I really regret this purchase and think i have wasted my money !!!!!!
Not bad, but waiting for PES2009 - Reviewed on 2008-10-08

havent played fifa for ages cos preferred pro evo over the years, so was lookin forward to this instalment, and for a portable version, its very good, musics good, kits and how up to date is it is impressive, i can only knock the playability, especially when turnin whilst runing with the ball, seems easy to score, nothing new there then, and be a pro is good but for how long, cos its pretty easy if you play as a top team...
the thing i really didnt like is the button config combinations you choose from, as complicated it is, i use circle for shoot and l1 for change player and the rest as normal, it doesnt let me do this yet on pro evo allows you to choose each button for each skill, this needed to be recitifed from previous fifas and wasnt sadly, and after checkin out pes2009 on my mates ps3, i will be lookin forward to its release, cos i beleive once again, pro evo will beat fifa for the main thing, gameplay.
