You gotta hand it to EA; the much-maligned company has really put a lot of effort into its Wii titles thus far. While many publishers seem content churning out tiresome ‘Wii-makes’ to make a quick buck, each and every title from EA has been fine-tuned to really take advantage of the system’s strengths, even if some of them haven’t quite succeeded.
On that note, Eurogamer has had the chance to go hands-on with the upcoming Wii version of FIFA ‘08, and much like Madden, it seems to be coming along very nicely. Here’s an excerpt from the preview:
“Overall, FIFA 08 on Wii looks very promising. The arcade feel is perfect for Wii and it’s the control system that really stands out here. […] The fresh control method and retro-tinged arcade pace of the game will appeal to gamers whose only previous game experience is SingStar and Buzz, but there’s something here for the hardcore too.”
Now coming from the ever-critical Eurogamer, that’s a compliment indeed. The game really does look cool, with a plethora of exclusive features (including viewing angle & Mii integration) that set it apart from the other versions. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I cannot wait for this. I love that EA is tailoring it to the Wii. I will still be getting the 360 version (cuz I’m a soccer nut) but this is going to be so freakin fun. And I love the Sensible Soccer viewpoint they have going on. Hooray! And Mii versions of soccer stars is awesome.
