In a nutshell:
It's the game football fans wait all year for and to usher in the next generation EA Sports have given FIFA its biggest revamp in years, changing not just the way it looks but the way it plays in what aims to be the ultimate marriage of realism and fun.The lowdown:
Every new FIFA game gets its expected improvements in graphics and presentation but this year the success of Pro Evolution Soccer seems to have driven EA to concentrate just as much on the gameplay. As such the game features better passing, crossing and free kicks as well as greatly improved goalkeepers. There's also a new "finesse" shot if you get the time and space to use it, while every kick is calculated in terms of space, composure and technique so that it's accuracy is determined by exactly what's happening on the pitch and not just some random factor. Add in completely new ball physics, more than 510 teams, 27 leagues, 4,000 licensed players and all new international crowd reactions and you've got EA's most concerted attempt yet to make the definitive football game. Most exciting moment:
As well as all the individual improvements to ball and player control many of the game's best strikers have their own signatures moves and free kicks, such as Ronaldinho, Frank Lampard and Roberto Carlos. This includes the ability to, quite literally, bend it like Beckham. Since you ask:
As befits its global reach FIFA 07 has perhaps the most multinational soundtrack ever in video games, with everything from Argentinean rock band Bersuit Vergarabat to Spain's The Pinker Tones and German group d.o.c.h.! (As well as Britbands such as Muse and The Young Punx.) The bottom line:
FIFA gets serious in its attempt to out-football Pro Evolution Soccer

If you like football, get fifa 07!!! January 20, 2008
R. Martin
It's the game that football fans wait all year for, and it doesn't dissapoint. It really immerses you in the game, to make you feel as if you really are out on the pitch.
Perhaps the only problem for seasoned players of fifa is that the only way to unlock the top level of difficulty is to win every game in a season of Manager Mode, which I myself sometimes just can't be bothered to do!
But you've probably got a lot more staying power than me.
All in all this is definitely a great game, beaten only in quality by fifa 08.
Best Game On Xbox November 18, 2007
C. E. Cox (Beccles)
This is the best game on Xbox. Halo 2 your time is up. It is immensely addictive. especially the manager mode. It makes you feel like Bryan Clough and much more. It is so rewarding, when you win the premiership with Torquay United, my god it feels good. When you sign Ronaldinho , when you beat Liverpool on penalties. Totally unforgettable game play.
You can simulate the matches. This is where it tells you on the screen what is happening. e.g. " GOAL!!!. What a strike from Torres" or " Nice pass by Terry". Also it is good that you can play the match. Or if you are feeling lazy Quick sim the match ( But if your team isn't on form you will loose).
Biding for players is simple. If another team bids for your player you can say whether you sell him or not. If your academy sucks, send out your scout to all over the globe. You can improve your coaching staff for a few bob. Which eventually improves your teams' performance.
But this is a football game, if you where considering getting a manager game you would read LMA Manager 2007 review. Not many people would have expected the manager mod to beater than the actual the football, but Football is spot on .So are the set plays tackling passing and shooting systems. The easiest way is score is make your forward the run away from the defender (with the ball) and smack it in the top corner.
The soundtrack is quit good. It is mostly music you will have never heard of, apart from The Feeling - Sewn (which is incredibly boring). The best song is from the emo band: Boy Kill Boy- Civil Sin and the music is generally quit good. New this year you can create a team and do a lounge. Also when you create a plays it actually looks like you. The plays look like real people compared to Pro Evo's . Pro Evo's look like playdough.
My only concern is that it is really hard to do skill. You will be running down the wing with Cristiano Ronaldo and it is so hard to perform step over's successfully, But it is still the best game on Xbox so click on the "by in now button" even if you aren't particularly into footy.
Can't stop playing it! August 31, 2007

Well, this is my first stab at a new Fifa game since Fifa2004. I love this version. Its so much fun and I sit back and admire the goals I've scored on the action replay. One of the things that really impresses me is the commentary actually keeps up with play, unlike in 2004 where it lags behind.
I haven't played online yet, but just playing against the CPU is fun enough for now. Great graphics as well by the way. I've never played PES so I can't compare - but I'm loving this!
best fifa so far March 7, 2007

Very slick soccer game from EA sports, what works about it is the presentation and nice graphics. The xbox again shows it can hold its own with probably the best version on any console.
The pros over pro evolution are more licensed teams and players no more editing more stadiums, more options such as fifa lounge slightly better graphics and realistic movement on the players better commentary ably supported by Andy Gray, gameplay is very smooth.
cons
Too many fouls it got to the point where i was scared to challenge anyone for fear of a red card. annoying soundtrack, easier to score than in pro evo. Xbox football fans will almost certainly enjoy this game especially
playing it with friends.
Better than the 360 version! October 31, 2006

This is a great game. It preceded the release of the 360 version by 1 month so I was really looking forward to the 360 version. However I now just play the Xbox version. Why? - Because it is better.
This game has all the divisions and stadia from previous FIFAs (although Highbury has gone and replaced by the new Arsenal stadium) plus more like the Turkish league and the Wembley stadium.
The game is really easy to play with the buttons being the same as before but now controls have been added. For example you can now curl the ball after shooting. Also you can jostle when under a high ball. The gameplay is excellent and so varied. In the old FIFAs there was always a way to score the same goal again and again but here all the goals are scored in different ways.
Unlockables are bought with points gained for completing challenges and include kits and teams. (Challenges are different in the 360 version.)
There is a new mode to add teams so you can add your Sunday League team.
Manager mode follows the successful pattern of the 06 version.
And the graphics of a high standard. You always can tell when Henry or Ronaldinho are on the ball. The build-up to matches includes a great bit in the tunnel where the players line-up and have flashes of the game coming up like a tough tackle.
