FIFA 10 is making a big impression at the GamesCom show in Germany.
Here is the latest gameplay trailer.
Tom Bramwell, games journalist at Eurogamer.net has published his views of a hands on. He concludes that: ‘Frankly, though, they could take them out completely, and strip away most of the licences, and ditch the improved animations and player likenesses, and FIFA 10 would still impress. It’s the ultimate testament to its transformation, in a sense, because what would be left is a similar vision to Pro Evolution Soccer during its heyday of a few years ago. It’s hard to imagine that the finished game, which of course does include all of the above, will be any less revered: over dozens of matches between half a dozen cynical football fans across two days at EA Canada, there isn’t a single dull game, and it’s hard to recall a single pattern emerging – either as a result of the game, or of a player’s lack of tactical imagination. But then, as with the set-piece creator, appearances here are deceptive, and this is arguably the key to EA Canada’s growing success over the last few versions of FIFA: the realisation that the guts of the game may not belong on the back of the game box, but that, once combined, they justify the front of it. They make the difference between a facsimile of football, and football itself, and selling football to football fans works. Five years after we expected little from the series, it’s not shocking to discover that FIFA 10 is the best embodiment yet of that ideal’.
