Quick Review: FIFA Street [Nostalgia]

Developer: EA Canada
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release Date: February 22, 2005 (NA)
Played Platform: PS2
Last Time Played: May 10, 2008

Things I liked:

• There are no rules
• Doing tricks and juking the opponent
• Scoring from half field with Gamebreaker
• Playing and making the best team possible from different countries

Things I did not liked:

• Goalie cannot run around with the ball
• The opponents were too easy a quarter into the Rule The Street campaign
• Unable to have a list of players on the roster (acquire players wisely); limited players on your roster
• Controller constantly vibrating when you had Gamebreaker; had to turn off vibrate
• Switching a player; did not change to the player that I wanted
• The action when playing on defense transitions to offense; I am trying to get the ball by tackling (O button), then it automatically shoots when I get the ball

Quick Review: Burnout Revenge [Nostalgia]

Developer: Criterion Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release Date: September 13 2005 (NA)
Played Platform: PS2
Last Time Played: 2009

Things I like:

• Thrill of taking down your opponents
• Driving fast cars (200+ mph), especially with nitro
• Different events the game offers

Things I did not like:

• Had to turn off the Takedown camera after a few hours because it broke my concentration on the race
• After getting Takedown’ed, the game takes awhile for you to spawn again
• Most of the time, when you spawned after getting Takedown’ed, you get takedown’ed again from a big vehicle (eg. truck) or on-coming traffic since you’re trying to catch up to the 1st place car
