POSITIVE:
- Giant amount of teams (199 teams + 2 unlockable extra teams) and stages (about 39 TW playable at sun / After / twilight and snow + rain.). In addition, smaller but nice gimmicks such additional selectable game balls in the national flags of the defeated team from you and freely selectable turf pattern.
- The players on the grass looks very realistic. Different tactics, team line-ups, home advantage and residues have a significant effect on the play. Even good players like Messi & Co. play much better as a substitute from Uzbekistan. However, the superiority is not as great as previous games.
- Realistic ball physics and realistic rebound. The game works by more lively.
- Great stadium atmosphere especially on the surround sound system (BUT: reduce Vuvuzele volume!).
- Super player animations and graphics from the telephoto perspective. All player movements look even rounder than in FIFA 10th
- Well positioned arrant championship mode in the style of the official FIFA website.
- History of qualifications ": motivational campaigns" mode in which you take at a given time in a qualifying match. (Eg IRL - F, second leg, 103 minutes with the score at 1-1,. You take over Ireland who still need a gateway to quality). A lot of fun - especially in between "and achievements can be further unlock scenarios.
- Games in general and menus look very sorted. For the first time there is also an audio aid in the menus.
- Nice gimmick: In the main menu you can select any country for friendly matches by rotating a globe. Here you get some data and facts (capital, FIFA rankings place, ...) presented and played on the desire anthem.
NEGATIVE:
- The graphics in close-ups (eg faces) has improved and more realistic. Nevertheless, everything looks more muddy. In addition, some cutscenes stutter (eg display of dancing fans or gesticulating (wooden acting) coach) partially and some players are not really visible.
- The comments have gotten better, but often inappropriate or incorrect. Example: History of the qualification "; entry in the 82nd minute with the score at 1-1, comment Tom Baier:. Welcome to kick off the 2nd half."
- No creatable own tournaments and players.
CONCLUSION:
The game is especially so close to the World Cup fun. In addition to longer sessions and a short session or a quick friendly match is motivating. The question is whether, despite the many positive aspects of the acquisition for FIFA 10 owners and / or FIFA 11 buyers worth. I highly recommend this game each of looking forward to the World Cup ....
