I own an XBOX 360 but only have a handful of games I own and play. I have always been a fan of FIFA and every year I purchase the new one.

Fifa 12 by electronic arts can be brought for between £40 and £45 or cheap if brought with other things, usually found in supermarkets.

Probably then longest running and well known series in the gaming industry returns with this latest edition. Although electronic arts have been criticised in the past for re-releasing titles annually with little change and "cashing in". I personally love and very much look forward to the subtle changes made in search for the perfect football experience.
This edition doesn't disappoint, the game play is extremely fluent and as realistic as ever along with the ever increasing amount of game modes growing further.

The biggest change from Fifa 11 is the defending, this has been changed to represent the real game more closely which it does, although more skill and concentration is require getting it right.
For me the best addition is called "Head to Head Seasons" which allows you to play on line via XBOX Live or equivalent and play towards promotion or try to avoid relegation if things don't go so well!!
Cup matches are also playable during the season. This game has everything here for the Footie fan.

This game has great graphics, great sound, huge content and superb attention to detail which all helps to capsulate the game perfectly.

For me this game is a 5/5 although FIFA 11 was aswell. If you want a great football game buy this regardless of your age. It far better than any rival games such as Pro Evo, but if you already have FIFA 11 and you are not anal about detail consider your money first.
