Fifa 10 Out For iPhone
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/FIFA+10+(iPhone)/news.asp?c=15948
Today Fifa 10 was released for the iPhone. I've just downloaded it, and 1st impressions are generally quite good.
The first thing I noticed was the great UI, it seems much more professional than Real Football. But where it really shines is the gameplay. I got bored of RF really quickly, the AI seemed poor, whereas in Fifa 10, the graphics are much better and the gameplay much more fluid.
Another great feature is the commentary. Although not as comprehensive as if you were on an xbox, it's definitely nice to hear comments about what's happening on the pitch.*
Obviously one of the biggest selling points is that it has all the proper team names, right down to league 2 in the UK, which is a bonus. It also has varying levels of AI difficulty, with "amateur" being offensively easy", right up to "world class" which seems insanely hard.
EA have even brought the "be a pro" mode from the console to the iPhone, which is another great thing, although I found that in Fifa 09 I never really used it.
The control system is also better than in RF; the joystick seems a pleasure to use, and there is also accelerometer based control, which I have not yet tried, but sounds promising.
It has multiplayer over Wi-Fi which is great, however in a future update I'd love to see true multiplayer, something along the lines of xbox live, so that you could have a world ranking.
All in all it seems a great app, excellent value at only £5.99/$9.99, so I'd definitely recommend it.
What do you guys think?

I downloaded it. Pretty sweet game. Considering the PS3 and XBOX versions are going to be $60. $10 is not bad at all.
Given the prices these games go for on the consoles and even the DS, $10 is an absolute steal. The logic that anything over 99 cents is "expensive" is just pure idiotic. Just stick to your free "penalty kick" apps & the like.
As for the game, I have RealSoccer 09 and will be interested in seeing more comments from those who have played both. The head to head in particular was a bit jumpy/laggy in RS'09 and would consider moving to this if it's significantly better in that regard.
I tested the fifa10 today...not bad but i found the gameplay not as nice as RF or X2 football...maybe a question of habit...I will see.
I also noticed that x2footbal is not available anymore on the app store...is that the same for you guys to? They are maybe preparing the '10 version.
Finaly has anyone tested RF10? I only kow RF09 and it was not bad.
Thanks
