game of the year: FIFA 2000

vote rating: 34%
further information: "If you have the courage to ignore all this, you?ll be greatly rewarded as FIFA 2000 offers an unforgettable experience. Player moves are much more realistic, they fight for the ball, they elbow players, and for the first time, I saw them moving during a corner or free kick, trying to get into the open. Finally, you can score from outside the penalty area and players also perform headers on crosses. Actually, I noticed that if you press the shot key once, the player will perform a header, and if you press it twice, the player will attempt a scissor kick or a nice volley. You, as the player, have much more control and more moves to perform, which is great. I was expecting much more from this game, but it?s still an excellent game. If I ever want to run over my friends though in multiplayer, I?ll most surely use FIFA 99 to do so." - DarkLord
   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SECOND
game type: Sports
game of the year: NHL 2000
publisher: EA Sports
vote rating: 30%
further information: "The more I played NHL 2000, the more angry and betrayed I felt. I think other gamers will have similar reactions. But I urge you to have what I am incapable of: Perspective. NHL 2000, love it or hate it, is all we hockey aficionados have. EA Sports has cornered the market of hockey simulations, and we have to play whatever junk they want to sell us. The multiplayer is laggy (still), the improvements are marginal, but its really the best thing going for us ice monkeys. I?ll play NHL 2000 for the full length of the season, but I?ll do it as cranky and grumpy as possible." - jube
