Sorry for all you English soccer fans, as your NT didn't make it to the EURO 2008, but while waiting for the World Cup 2010 quallies to let Rooney and co. shine again, you'll be able to play FIFA Street 3. Everyone's probably bored of FIFA 08 right now and maybe you're fed up with PES 08's issues, specially on the PS3, so it's time for a new football title to kick in.

FIFA Street 3 will be launched in 2008, springtime, featuring the famous "Stylized Action Heroes" we've mentioned in a previous article. They'll be performing Over-the-Top Moves, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho juggling and scoring for fun. The latest installment in the fast-paced and rewarding FIFA Street series will be available on the PS3 and Xbox 360, but maybe we'll see ports of the game for other consoles as well.

Let me remind you that this game is not for those who believe in teamwork, but rather for the gamers who rely on individual skills in any sport/game/competition. EA has signed about 250 of the world's most famous football players, who will be featured in FIFA Street 3 either as standard players or unlockable ones. Footballing geniuses like Ronaldinho and Klaas Jan Huntelaar will possess Game Breakers, special abilities that allow them to jump over walls or perform Spider-Man-style moves.

The environments you'll be playing on will be varied, ranging from a modest urban football field to a rooftop and South American cities. FIFA Street has also been designed with the gamer's fun in mind, without trying to recreate a credible simulation of real football. The goal of the game is to put the ball into the net as many times as you can and as spectacular as you can, making the crowds go wild.
