#VIDIC FIFA 12 SERIES#
The crowd, from a distance, look very impressive but once again if you delve a little closer, you’ll see that they have essentially taken 10 renders of people and multiplied them, made them do a series of four separate moves and stuck them in the crowd. It can be understood that creating a likeness for every player in every league would be very time consuming and we probably be waiting two years or more for another FIFA outing, but at least an attempt could’ve been made to make them look remotely like the players, it does sometimes look that the developers couldn’t be bothered (Nemanja Vidic is a prime example as he looks like a caveman). However when you start to look closer, you notice that the texture of the pitch is not as accurate as you would have hoped, as you don’t see the grass, just a texture that looks like a painted green floor.Īs previously mentioned, some of the player’s likenesses range from a spitting image to nothing like them. The pitch and crowd (from a distance) look absolutely brilliant and, for the majority, the players likenesses are almost spot on. The stadiums look great, with the colours and textures of these, and the players and their kits, coming out with a fantastic appearance. GRAPHICS: As you would expect from a FIFA/EA Sports title, the graphics are very impressive and have definitely improved from last year’s outing.
So the question on everyone’s lips is has the year’s FIFA game come out on top again? Has PES 2012 knocked the king off its throne? Is it just a game of overpaid idiots kicking a pig’s bladder into a big washing net? Well there is only one way to find out! We did it with PES 2012, so it is only fair that we give FIFA 12 the same respect. To answer this, we feel at that a title of this magnitude deserves a fair crack of the whip before a judgement can be called. You may now be wondering what this reviewer is doing reviewing a title that has been out for a few weeks now, and that is a good question. But now it’s now time for FIFA 12 to stand up and be accounted for. PES 2012 has thrown its hat into the ring and come out with a strong 9/10 rating from us. Well here it is, the war of words is finally over and now the two titans of video game football are out.
