Another year, another annual FIFA game. This year it's FIFA 12.
The graphics seem on-par with previous FIFA titles so there's not much change on this front.
But the gameplay is what FIFA is all about. The core gameplay remains, and has been added to with the Player Impact Engine (which is great) and precision dribbling, which can get you out of a tight spot. These are nice additions, but don't make any radical changes.
Because it's FIFA, there's leagues and licenses from all over the world. As a football game, it is unmatched in this regard, and it adds a lot of depth to the game. And there are also two commentary teams this time!
As always, you've got the Career (Manager or Be a Pro) Mode which you can sink hundreds of hours into. Ultimate Team has been included this time around, which is nice, and a really fun mode.
Online is good fun, and the Head to Head seasons is a great idea. You've also got online leagues and tournaments! There's also EA Sports Football Club, which tracks your progress in all modes and puts up “challenges” based on recent real-world situations, which is a great way to integrate this game better with real football.
So all in all, this is everything you could ask for in a FIFA game. There is a mind-blowing amount of content and while there aren't any revolutionary changes, there is enough new content in this game to make it well worth purchasing.
It's another solid FIFA title
