Charlie Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Anyone got this or played the demo yet? My flatmate downloaded it for the PS3 just now and we've just finished a game. Plays pretty much the same as FIFA 10 (as expected). Cool feature how the camera pans into the managers during cut-scenes etc and has their name appear like it does on TV. Only teams available on the demo are Italy and Spain. Can't really comment on the graphics as my flatmate is too stingy/ apparently doesn't see the difference using a HDMI cable. And one more thing for anyone who's got it... "whoa oh oh oh woa, whoaoaoao oh oh oh oh". That's going to be stuck in my head all afternoon.

They've definitely tweaked little things but exactly what I couldn't tell you... Didn't put much time into it. I love the fact that there is pretty much every national team on the game, that there are about 50 stadiums and the beautiful, beautiful road to the world cup mode is back. I was in love with FIFA '98. The prospect of taking Eastern European minnows to world cup glory excites me in ways it shouldn't. There's also a scenario mode which will be updated with new challenges (free DLC) during and after the world cup proper. There are classic scenario's and classic teams. All in all it looks like a decent package, and I'll probably pick it up, for a decent price.
MadDog Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I want this, but i know it's FIFA 10 with a differant skin really. So i'm unsure whether it deserves a purchase. A maybe for me.
gaggle64 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I haven't bought a football game in four years (Fifa 05 for a fiver) but I've greatly enjoyed the demo for this. I think I'll wait until a couple of months after the World Cup to get it at which point retailers will inevitably be begging you to take them.
Charlie Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Haha, YES! That song drove me in.sane. I've since found out its the official World Cup song due to be played by all broadcasters worldwide. The song is annoying as hell but I'm love it now for some reason.
gaggle64 Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I think it's a great tune, though it's worth tracking down the original version which actually a nicely thoughtful protest track.

The song is annoying as hell but I'm love it now for some reason. That song is actually brilliant! It's...one of the happiest songs I've heard in a while. That's the original I think Gaggle means. It's a great song.
tapedeck Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Picked it up. Loved the demo and love a good world cup experience. It plays far better than FIFA 10. The player movement off the ball is sorted. Crossing the ball/the flight of the ball is now spot on and the keepers close the angle rather than rush off their lines. I love the broadcast elements too (which can be turned off if you wish). Overall it's possibly the best worldcup game I've played in years. :-) Been playing the world cup mode today and a score update from the other group game came up to say how that would affect the group. I then had to win so changed the formation etc and went for it (only to succumb to a counter attack). Wasn't bothered though as it made it all the more realistic. Great how the golden boot/player of the tournament is in there too. It's all integrated really well with real pictures of your team in a web-page layout. EA have gone the extra mile with this and it's about time. Still loving it and yet to find any consistant gameplay sweet spots. Edited May 1, 2010 by tapedeck Automerged Doublepost
