FIFA 12

FIFA 12 Review

Walking down the tunnel, FIFA 12 3DS should be more than confident about its chances. Compared to PES 2011 3D, its main opposition, it's positively bursting with features and gameplay modes. And for those who own the console version of FIFA 12, rest assured the 3DS title isn't a diluted version of the same game. It's been sensitively tailored to suit the platform, and particular features lend themselves perfectly to the console's unique hardware. But before we delve into the second half of the review, in the manner of any self-respecting pundit who used to be a moderately-talented player, let's have a look at how the game lines up. The staples of the FIFA franchise are present and correct: loads of officially-licensed teams and a glut of leagues and cups to be won, a detailed career mode, street matches (available in the Wii version but not on other systems) and the Be A Pro mode. It's generous for any version of the game, let alone a handheld. Career mode, as fans of FIFA will know, allows you to sit in the dug-out and delve into the minutiae of running a football club, from overseeing transfers to improving your training facilities.
