FIFA 10 : Get ready for the GO
After a long wait, EA finally launched the demo of Fifa 10. The release was dated 10th of September in some parts of world whereas 17th in some of them. Though the full version is yet to be launched on Tuesday, 20th Octber 2009. I had an early hand on trying out the demo nd taking all the fun in the world playing it. EA promised various new additions and actually has lived up to some of its promises.
The all new feature of 360 degree dribbling is introduced, with various other features. The sparkling graphics of this soccer game need a graphics card presence in your system supporting pixel shader. If you got it, you too can go on an amazing experience. The release of demo has just increased the eagerness of playing the full version of this game.
You can even pre-order the game by visiting the official site of EA.
The never before introduced feature of changing controls in a Pause menu during an ongoing game is present.
Goalkeeper capabilties are quite good. The teams defend well even though i scored goal in the 3rd minute itself in World-class difficulty. The soundtracks of the game seem to be interesting as always. Even with very less teams to play the demo seems to be quite awesome.
Teams You can play with in demo :
Barcelona
Juventus
Chelsea
OM
Bayern Munchen
Chicago Fire
