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.

 Great but not perfect !!! November 27, 2008
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.
 FIFA 09 November 21, 2008
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 October 8, 2008

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.
Why not just call it FIFA 2008 B October 8, 2008

Here's my opinion on what I don't and do like (and I stress it's only my opinion)
Don't likes:
The players feel like they need a few cans of red bull to get going.. Feels very sluggish.
The referee's whistle sounds like a budgie on helium! Don't see why they felt they had to change it? Would be nice to have the ref on the pitch instead of when a foul is committed.
The commentary's the same and as 2008 and you feel like throttling Andy Gray after a while.
You can't seem to jump for the ball with out giving away a foul.
The shop unlocks are a bit boring and there's only two stadiums to unlock.
The formation and tactic settings are the same as 08, I have to admit I prefer the way PES let you change you team before and during a game.
Manager mode is the exact same as 2008, same manager faces and everything! No new features added to it, which is a bit disappointing.
Do likes:
The one thing that has improved is the crossing.. You can actually score a header the odd time.
The graphics have improved a little.
To be honest I can't see many improvements over 2008. Which I suppose isn't a bad thing but they haven't added or made enough improvements for my liking.
Sure we've got the new 'Be a pro' feature, but after a while it becomes a bit boring and repetitive.
