In addition to quick play game-on matches against the CPU and wireless head-to-head games, FIFA Street 2 boasts a rule-the-street career mode. The first thing you'll need to do when starting a career game is to create a player for yourself by customizing his physical appearance, clothing, and attributes. The customization options available in the PSP game are reasonably comprehensive, but the DS game's editing tools are extremely limited. You'll then get to pick out seven players for your squad, although given that substitutions aren't permitted at any point during the game, it's unlikely that four of them will ever spend much time playing.
When you tire of the career mode, the PSP-exclusive minigames will extend the longevity of FIFA Street 2 by at least two minutes.
Once your career gets under way, you'll need to play in "kick about" games to earn skill bills that can be spent on improving players, and then once your team reaches the required skill level, you'll be able to enter tournaments and unlock new locations to play at all over the world. Your only other gameplay option is to attempt to add new players to your squad by beating their teams in special matches that you'll often have to pay for the privilege of playing. The career mode is incredibly repetitive, and frankly there are any number of better ways for you to spend quality time with your handheld of choice. If you have the PSP version of FIFA Street 2, for example, you might choose to listen to the game's excellent 38-song soundtrack using the "pocket trax" option. If you've ended up with the DS version of FIFA Street 2, though, your best bet would be to play something else instead.
With its poor visuals, poor ball physics, and poor artificial intelligence, the Nintendo DS version of FIFA Street 2 is undoubtedly the worst game to bear the FIFA Street name thus far. The PSP game, on the other hand, plays about as well as the PS2 version of FIFA Street on which it's based, so if you're one of the people who (unlike us) enjoyed that game, you'd probably be able to derive some kind of pleasure from it should you feel the need to add it to your collection.
