FIFA man bigs up 360-degree control

'It totally changes the way you play.'

After Years Of playing second fiddle - critically, if not commercially - to the sublime Pro Evolution Soccer, it's widely accepted that FIFA has now edged ahead of its rival. Indeed this year's next-gen console instalment is being hailed in some quarters as no less than the greatest football game of all time. Unfortunately, the PC version isn't anything of the sort.While console owners are treated to the all-singing, all-dribbling FIFA, we PC chumps with our hi-def monitors and internet-ready machines are palmed off with a sketchy hybrid of the new game and the previous generation.

While the PC's FIFA 10 does share such features as the Be A Pro mode, where you control a solitary player throughout his career, on the pitch it's a different story with the game engine leagues behind that used on consoles. This has been the norm for the past few seasons, but somehow it seems even worse this year, with the PC game's eight-way dribbling looking positively primitive compared to the new 360 stylings of the consoles and PES 2010.

Old School

We've genuinely seen (and heard) it all before, with the same old graphics allied to the cut-arid-paste commentary of Clive Tyldesley and Andy Gray.

The action is more sedate than in previous years, and much slower than this year's PES, but having more time on the ball doesn't necessarily lead to more thrills, with leaden physics making for moribund encounters. The controls also feel spongy, and the whole thing doesn't add up, like playing on a treacle pitch, on the moon.

Fifa 10 Ps3

As for the all-important goals, there are rarely any screamers, and the ball frequently seems to be bundled cheaply over the line to the surprise of all involved. One-on-ones with the keeper too often involve the ball being deflected back to the striker who inadvertently shins it in. Furthermore, goal shots taken from distance hit the post a suspiciously high number of times, making for some extremely contrived faux-excitement.

Fifa 107

Off the pitch of course, FIFA 10 is the usual feature packed, licensed to the gills affair. It's just a shame about the actual football.
