digitec plays World Cup special: We slide on tarmac in "Fifa Street 2"
Anyone who found football simulations too dry could let off steam in "Fifa Street 2". Admittedly a little unrealistic, but extremely entertaining. We have dug up the PS2 classic for you. The live stream starts at around 11am.
Note: Unfortunately, the last few minutes and our most spectacular match can no longer be seen. The technology played a trick on us.
"Fifa Street 2" is the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" of football games. Even Tsubasa Ozora from the animated film series "The Great Football Stars" would make even bigger eyes than he already has as an anime character when he sees the blatant dribbling and super shots.
"Fifa Street 2" was released in 2006 for Playstation 2, Xbox, Gamecube and other consoles. As the name suggests, you don't play on soft turf, but on hard tarmac in the backyards of Amsterdam, Berlin or New York. Instead of annoying vuvuzelas or fan chants, the game is accompanied by groovy drum 'n' base.
You control a team of four and dance your way through the opponent's defence with smooth moves. The stars back then were Ronaldo (the one from Brazil, not the full-blooded one from Portugal), Beckham and Zidane. You use tricks to top up your energy bar, which enables you to take practically unstoppable super shots. You can see how elegant the whole thing looks in our Let's Play.
The game is played appropriately on this part.
As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
