When EA's FIFA Soccer rose to prominence in the latter part of the last decade, it did so with a solid combination of presentation and user immersion.
But this is the first time we've seen it in PC form, and it's not a moment too soon. Granted, North America didn't get its first taste of the game until 2003's Winning Eleven 6, when Konami released it for the PlayStation 2 crowd.
In fact, it has existed in the console realm since 1996. Just like his mom advised him when he was a tiny tot, this player uses his head to its fullest potential.Īs the title suggests ("Winning Eleven" stands for the number of players on a soccer side and "7" stands for the number of annual revisions in the game's history), Winning Eleven 7 is far from a brand-new series. No true PC soccer fan should buy into the EA FIFA machine this year without first investigating Konami's superb alternative. Whether it's superior overall to the durable EA franchise is open to interpretation, but one thing is clear: Winning Eleven 7 is a superb game that sounds great, looks impressive, and gets the most important element-playability-just right. With World Soccer Winning Eleven 7 International, Konami brings its console soccer hit to the PC for the first time and, in the process, proves that EA's reign is suddenly as shaky as the San Andreas Fault. Fresh off its 2004 revision, in which the game's producers have once again shown a disturbing recent penchant for sitting idly upon the throne, the FIFA series is also now in the midst of taking a full-on broadside from an exciting newcomer. However, Electronic Arts' celebrated FIFA Soccer series may not have the PC footie market cornered after all. It may have official FIFA PC licensing it may have dominated the genre for the better part of a decade and it may have climbed to such a lofty position of strength that it's driven away virtually every contender.
