FIFA 09 All-Play isStep onto the pitch and play a unique football experience exclusively for the Wii. Enjoy FIFA 09 All-Play one of two ways—a Wii-specific take on the classic ‘11 vs. 11’ simulation or over-the-top arcade action with Wii versions of your favorite football superstars. FIFA 09 All-Play is perfectly balanced for gamers of any ability to enjoy fun, football action. Choose to play the style that best suits your skills from advanced controls for experienced players to new EA SPORTS All-Play that enables novice players to focus on fun using simplified controls with AI assistance. EA SPORTS All-Play makes it easier and less intimidating for new players to play at their own level of ability. One gesture and one button press performs all the actions and increases your success rate on shots, free kicks and rebounds. Trouble deciding who to pass the ball to? Let the CPU point you in the right direction with on-screen pass indicators and one-button actions. Panic over picking the corner? Don’t worry, just blast away to find the back of the net with instant shots on goal. Plus, the game provides feedback and stats to track your progress. Experienced players using advanced controls can still access all the in-depth controls, now with refined gestures and a precision passing system with point-and-play control. Plus, you can even use a Classic controller or Nintendo GameCube controller for a more traditional FIFA game experience. Play with your Mii alongside your heroes Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney and other football stars created as customized characters in an arcade version of the beautiful game. Play 8 vs 8 Footii Match mode for addictive pick-up-and-play arcade action suitable for all levels of ability. Steal the ball and make outrageous shots by simply waving your Wii Remote. You’ve never played football like this before! Plus, Footii Party Games called Table Football and Boot It have been overhauled for more great fun with family and friends. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    As dedicated PES fans, it means a lot when we say that FIFA 09 is the best football game on the Wii at the moment. Game on, Konami.
  2. n-Revolution Magazine UK

    EA’s strategy of attack trumps Konami’s, though the latter did reinvent how football should be played on Wii.
  3. VideoGamer

    It would be easy to dismiss it with the cutesy Miis and two games in one approach, but in spite of this, FIFA has been given what it needed to draw in the first timers and the old hands, snatching the title of best football game on the Wii with a last minute flick of the remote.

    EA has taken many efforts to come up with a good FIFA 09-Version for the Wii. The Wii-optimized handling is okay, but there is also space for improvements.
  5. GameSpot

    New controls, improved online play, and eight-player support make FIFA 09 All-Play a fine upgrade to last year’s Wii debut.
  6. Nintendo Power
    75
    Though the overall product doesn't quite measure up to this year's Madden or Tiger, FIFA 09 may be EA's best effort at catering to both casual and hardcore fans of a particular sport. [Dec 2008, p.94]

    FIFA 09 is let down by a jack of all trades master of none approach.

    The best football game on the wii to date. It's a fast paced football game not a real sim. Full of content, really worth the price tag. The best football game on the wii to date. It's a fast paced football game not a real sim. Full of content, really worth the price tag. Pes on the wii has better control, with more options (like sending your teammates directly on a run), but FIFA 09 All Play features more modes, a great manager mode, totally lag-free online play, COOL minigames (8v8 footii party rulezzzzz!!!!!), better graphics and so. It's the complete package!!! If you like football don't hesitate buy it!!… Expand

    overall, it's the best fifa game i've played, the only complain i have with it is the passing, that is sometimes off target but overall, it's the best fifa game i've played, the only complain i have with it is the passing, that is sometimes off target but worse is that sometimes it makes a loop pass instead of a low pass when it isn't necesary. I can make players go where i want to put my passes and that is really good, but somehow there's also some lost control with the Wii remote compared to the Gamecube controller. The online is pure awesomeness and the 8 Vs 8 is sometimes even better than the normal football game. This game is GOOD.… Expand

    Could have been a higher score if the makers of the game thought a little bit more to the hardcore gamers.

    I actually would rate this game 8.5 because the game its self is worldclass and the gameplay is superior to any other game I have played on. I actually would rate this game 8.5 because the game its self is worldclass and the gameplay is superior to any other game I have played on. I rated it down a bit because of the passing on the game which most the time is off target, resulting in loosing the ball. This is really annoying. But on the whole this game is great.… Expand
