FIFA 11 on 360 Wii DS

FIFA 11 Screen Shots

FIFA 11 is a Sporting game available on the 360 Wii DS. It can be played in Cooperative Sharedscreen Competitive modes.

FIFA 11 is a Sporting game. Sports games recreate a wide variety of real life competitive activities. Depending on the sport, these will either have an action or strategy focus. Popular sports games are often released on an annual basis, each year the game receives new player rosters and game improvements.

FIFA 11 can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

FIFA 11 can be played in a Sharedscreen mode. Shared Screen Multiplayer games create a multiplayer experience where players all share the same screen space. Rather than splitting the screen into portions for each player the game scales to fit each player in view even when they are a long way apart. Football and fighting games often take this approach as the shared view doesn't impede the players ability to take part in the action.

FIFA 11 can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

Fifa 11

Fifa 11 significantly advances the award-winning franchise with the introduction of Personality+ and a host of other changes that take the No.1 football videogame to new heights. New customisation options, an improved career mode and excellent multiplayer all combine to make this iteration of the series the most meaningful.

This year's improvements come in the form of Personality+, a way for Fifa 11 to reinvent player authenticity on and off the ball. It enables the individual abilities of each player to be used on the pitch from the instant reflexes of goalkeepers such as Petr Cech to physically strong strikers like Wayne Rooney. Improvements have also been made to the career mode with a new engine delivering a realistic experience that takes you from player to manager over 15 years.

Family Gamer review Mon, 25 Oct 2010

FIFA 11 360 attentively delivers on promises to their player community - another round of intelligently chosen and well executed enhancements. Combine this with the DS and Wii versions, and FIFA 11 really has something for everyone in the family.

Before, what we think will be, the final addition to our family arrived a couple of years ago in the form of our youngest son I was a big Pro Evolution Soccer fan. I had followed it from the days of International Superstar Soccer through the various ups and downs, as it tried to respond to both FIFA's and Virtua Soccer's success, until it became the game we know today.

Domestic Gamer review Mon, 25 Oct 2010

FIFA 11 Wii opens up football for newcomers like me, whilst keeping things interesting enough for more serious players to enjoy. It has unexpectedly turned me into something of a football in mum.

I don't often get involved in the footballing antics in our house. But recently I've enjoyed being the mum at the park with a couple of boys and a football. If you position yourself up hill of the action, you can spend a happy hour or so simply tapping the ball back down the hill to the kids as the hare around.

Teen Gamer review Mon, 25 Oct 2010

FIFA 11 DS is a full featured miniaturisation of the big ticket version. On the go link-up game play compensates for predictable opponents and pixilated visuals. A full football game in my pocket is enough incentive to keep me going till the 3DS arrives.

I like playing games on the go so I've always kind of ruled out football. I just didn't think it would be good enough on the DS and I've not been able to afford a PSP. But picking up the new FIFA 11 DS game I was surprised how much proper footballing fun I had on it with my mates .
