The fact is, the PSP and DS versions of FIFA Street 2 aren't handheld versions of EA Sports Big's street soccer sequel at all but are essentially handheld versions of last year's game with a couple of new features bolted on. If this game looks more like the original FIFA Street than it's much-improved sequel, it's because that's what it is. The PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube versions of FIFA Street 2 represent a significant improvement over the lackluster original, but the same can't be said for the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS games unfortunately. Nevertheless, when we reviewed FIFA Street we alluded to the fact that we'd very much like to see its problems addressed in a sequel at some point, and now, one year later, EA Sports Big has done just that.
