Despite the efforts of
larger-than-life British
sensation David Beckham, Major
League Soccer remains far less
popular in the United States
than other professional
sports. To the rest of the
world, though, the pitch
represents the great equalizer
of nations, raising mere men
to demigod status. EA,
naturally, is running with
that perception of the game
for FIFA Street 3, due out for
the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
in spring 2008.After a year
hiatus, FIFA Street returns
with a greater emphasis placed
on the superstars of the game.
FIFA Street 3 renders more
than 250 soccer stars drawn
from 18 teams across the globe
as 'stylized caricatures with
heroic qualities.' As with
other arcade sports titles
from EA Sports Big, gamers
will be able to select their
playing style of choice, with
FIFA Street 3 featuring
tricksters, enforcers,
playmakers, and finishers.As
detailed in GameSpot's recent
preview, the game makes use of
NBA Street Homecourt's engine,
lending the game a stylized
look. Also ported over from
Homecourt is the new
Gamebreaker mechanic, which
gives gamers special abilities
and power-ups to better
embarrass their opponents. EA
will also make use of its new
soccer AI engine, first seen
in this year's FIFA 08.
