'''''FIFA Street''''' is a [[sports]] [[video game]] [[video game developer|developed]] by [[EA Canada]] and [[video game publisher|published]] by [[Electronic Arts]] (EA). It was released on [[February 22]], [[2005]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]], [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]] in [[North America]]. It is [[commentator|commentated]] by [[Dizzee Rascal]].


'''''FIFA Street''''' is a [[sports video game]] developed by [[EA Canada]] and published by [[Electronic Arts]] under the [[EA Sports BIG]] label. It is [[sports commentator|commentated]] on by [[Michael Harvey (musician)|MC Harvey]] of the [[So Solid Crew]]. It was released in February 2005 for [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], and [[GameCube]]. The cover features [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian international footballer]] [[Ronaldinho]].
''FIFA Street'' is a spin-off of EA's two other 'Street' series games ''[[NFL Street]]'' and ''[[NBA Street]]'', using the same concept of reducing the more complete version of its corresponding title (''[[FIFA Series|FIFA Football]]'') into an [[arcade game]] by reducing the rules and complexity of the simulation into a more simplistic game.


It was followed by ''[[FIFA Street 2]]'', which was released in February 2006.
''FIFA Street''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s focus is on flair, style and trickery, as opposed to ''FIFA Football''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s focus on team play and tactics, reflecting the culture of [[freestyle soccer]] played in the streets and backlots across the world.

Using reputation and respect gained from playing 4-on-4 games with tricks and flair, the aim of ''FIFA Street'' is to build a team up of well-known and recognised players including [[David Beckham]], [[Zinedine Zidane]], [[Ronaldo]] and [[Ronaldinho]] to progress through street venues across the world.

Although generally regarded as entertaining and fun, ''FIFA Street'' was met with disappointing reviews which focus on it's poor [[Artifical Intelligence|AI]], physics, rushed release, awkward controls scheme, and lack of online play (especially in comparison to the FIFA series). Regardless, a sequel named ''[[FIFA Street 2]]'' is expected [[Fiscal year|Q2]], [[2006]].

Gameplay

[edit]

The game is a spin-off of EA's FIFA series of football games, following the same formula as their other "Street" titles, NFL Street and NBA Street, by reducing the more complete version of the game into a simpler arcade style game. It focuses on flair, style and trickery, as opposed to what FIFA Football focuses on team play and tactics, reflecting the culture of freestyle football played in the streets and backlots across the world. Using reputation and respect gained from playing 4-on-4 games with tricks and flair, the aim of FIFA Street is to build a team up of well-known and recognised players including Ronaldo and Ronaldinho to progress through street venues across the world.

Reception

[edit]

The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[4][2][3]

The PlayStation 2 version of FIFA Street received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),[21] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[22]
