Most every major star is represented as well, so the star power is another drawing card to the title. Not to mention the fact that it does away with some great ones from past games. It does have some new ideas but sadly not anywhere near enough. It makes you wonder how exciting the game would be if the great athletes like Lionel Messi and Kaka performed in arenas this small. Overall, FIFA Street 3 is a predictable and tired iteration in the series. The action is faster and more furious than the traditional game because the field of play is smaller. The payoff from completing sick dribble moves and off-the-wall passes is all highlight-reel worthy. The controls on the demo feel amazingly intuitive-there isn't much difference in response from FIFA.

The only big problem with FIFA Street is the way the players move, which at times seems jerky and distorted in a way that was never present in the core series. The football in FIFA Street really comes alive during the attack phase, when quick movements of the sticks and button presses create cool tricks that serve to both get through packed defenses and create space for good shots. Tackling options are much reduced when compared to FIFA 12 and I haven’t yet found a reliable way of stopping an attack aside from simply shadowing players and aiming to exploit their mistakes. The game is fast and exciting at all times, with matches rated not only on goals scored but also on the tricks that players managed before putting the ball in the net.
The game mode offered by the demo version of the game is 5-a-side and a few teams, including a selection of the best street players and an Adidas branded ensemble, are offered alongside the more traditional line-ups of AC Milan and Manchester City. FIFA Street 3 is an arcade-style sports game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS.It is the third game in the FIFA Street series from EA Sports BIG, and is the last title released under the brand.This game was followed up by the 2012 reboot of FIFA Street, but that game does not have EA Sports BIG branding (it uses the standard EA Sports branding instead). FIFA Street is in a strange position: it needs to keep its mechanics as close as possible to the core FIFA series from EA Sports in order to gain an interested and familiar fan base, while also delivering enough differences in order to persuade customers to pay for football for the second time in less than one year.Ībout one hour worth of game time spent with the demo version of FIFA Street on the Xbox 360 home console points to a successful blend of old mechanics and new concepts all topped off by a presentation that evokes the known FIFA while offering some brighter colors and some actual player banter.
