FIFA 12: UEFA Euro 2012 Review
EA Sports: It's in the game… except when it's DLC. Over the last few decades football has strayed far from its working-class roots. Bleak rain-soaked terraces, pints of cloudy ale and half-time pies have slowly been replaced by generic stadia, overpriced continental lager and the dreaded prawn sandwich. It's become unreasonably expensive to attend top-flight matches. And supporting your nation at this year's Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland is beyond the means of most individuals. But even if you want to stay at home, and experience the competition from your sofa, controller in hand, you'll too have to pay a premium. UEFA Euro 2012 is DLC for best-selling FIFA 12, and costs 1800 MS points on Xbox LIVE and £15.99/$25.99 on the PlayStation Store. Its high price-tag isn't necessarily a criticism, but inevitably it invites greater scrutiny of what content is on offer. When it comes to gameplay, there's very little to say. It's FIFA 12, unaltered. If you're at all familiar with that game, there's nothing new to learn or get your head around. FIFA 12 is a great game, and avoided series stagnation by incorporating several new features this year and reinventing aspects of its gameplay, such as the way in which you defend. And it's all present and correct here, ensuring the gameplay experience is of the same high quality. So what are you actually getting when you download UEFA Euro 2012? nickelodeon games |
