1) Introduction:
Hi. I'm pokemaniac1342, a gamer in Singapore. Singapore is home to a LOT of game pirates, but I got hold of the real copy of this game somehow with a hefty price. (Over $30!)
I liked this game the moment I started, and was amazed by how realistic the game is. My computer is disgracefully slow, and horribly outdated with the lousiest features you can imagine. But still enough to enjoy this wonderful game hehe.
I looked for guides on gamefaqs but only found one, and that's the one by
OHMCS110. I decided to create this new FAQ, my first I ever written.
The game is great, with realistic graphics and good sound effects. There is even a commentator (actually, two of them). The major stars like Zinedine Zidane and
Luis Figo all looked really like the real ones, and the not so major footballers look pretty real too. The only problem is the crowd, who looks like a pile of stick figures. And the funny thing is, they cheer whenever a goal is scored-even if it is against their supporting team! Weird.
Overall, this is a great game (I can't stop saying that) and I hope you think so too. That's why I wrote this FAQ.
I hope you enjoy this FAQ. If you find any grammatical or spelling errors, or have anything to add on, please contact me via email. You will get your credit and I will get a better FAQ. Thanks!
