Euro 2012 game review ps3

It's that time of year! Every football fan is already excited for this summers tournament and like every gaming fan excited about the release It's that time of year! Every football fan is already excited for this summers tournament and like every gaming fan excited about the release of FIFA's new game.

However; this was a total let down. Firstly I was disappointed that the game didn't have a feature where you could qualify for the tournament, so you're pretty much playing 3 group games then a knock out stage which once you have won is pointless playing it again. FIFA has always been good at providing detail in there games but this is lacking so much compared to similar tournament releases since I have grown up as a kid.

Playing this game provides me with no excitemtent, I want to be able to start from the beginning of qualifying, pick my own team with my own players making it my own. I am now back playing FIFA Ignore my rating of 10 in previous review. That was made in error! What a disappointment. Where do I even start? Lacking plenty of licensed Ignore my rating of 10 in previous review. Lacking plenty of licensed teams.

OK so a few fake kits are one thing, but having teams full of fake names harks back to the bad old days of PES. Grr No qualifying mode. This is a massive part of football tournaments. EA said they weren't popular in previous games? Doubt this can be true. It's really buggy. I've had multiple crashes that have required a restart of my PS. Commentators have been saying things that just weren't relevent or true. Playing online I was told that I'd already qualified after winning 2 games.

Although Wales's team is bizarrely populated by mispelled imposters, including G. Belth for Gareth Bale. Clearly, the addition of every nation has been done to make Euro appeal to even those whose national team didn't make the championship.

This mainly comes into play in the DLC's main gameplay mode — the Euro tournament itself. You can choose to play as any team in the competition, but if your team didn't qualify, they can easily be substituted for any nation that did.

Out comes Spain; in goes Scotland. The mode is as straightforward as the competition itself: 3 group games and 3 knock-out games are all that stands between you and the coveted trophy. Injuries and cards are obviously more of a concern in a tournament situation. It's exactly what you'd expect it to be, and once you've lifted the cup, which is mildly satisfying, it's unlikely that you'll keep reliving the campaign. Something a little bit different for the FIFA series is Expedition, in which you're confronted by what looks like a map of Europe, torn from the pages of a fantasy novel.

But instead of dragons, here be repetitive games of football. You start out with a team composed of one player of your choice and a ragtag bunch of middling reserves drawn from low-ranking European nations. From within groups, you're able to 'attack' nations by playing a typical game of football. The spoils of war are incremental: defeat a nation once, and you'll be offered one of their reserve team player; beat them again, and you can take one of their subs; win a third time, and you get the opportunity to snatch one of their starting eleven.

But the rewards don't just improve the quality of your team; you also get the opportunity to build new roads across Europe, connecting you with previously-inaccessible nations. But if you lose games, the roads are sometimes destroyed, isolating your team and impeding your quest for European domination. The aim, of course, is to end up with a map of Europe threaded with a dense network of roads and the ultimate European dream-team. Is is that good? Workman May 6, at PM. Carlos May 7, at AM.
