Could someone possibly provide some side by side comparisons? Also, is RS 2010 better value than Fifa at half the price?
RS 10: - Bad graphics - Bad controls - Bad gameplay - Unplayable laggy online multiplayer - Quite a lot of content FIFA 10: - Good graphics - Better controls (although they do take quite a bit of time to get used to). - Good gameplay - TONS of content I have bought both, and FIFA 10 is better , by far. I deleted RS 10 within minutes of downloading it, even if it was £0.59/$0.99 it wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. FIFA 10 on the other hand is a great game, not perfect, but still much better than RS 10. X2 Football 2009 is another great game that I would say is on par with FIFA 10. Also, X2 Football 2010 is supposed to come out soon and that should be great. Get FIFA 10!
X2 Football won't be out until a few months later, so if you want to buy something now, get FIFA 10. It's definitely the better game.
If you've only played Real Soccer for a few minutes, you aren't familiar enough with it to judge. Real Soccer doesn't lack in the control department... the controls are intuitive and allow for more moves than FIFA (like the Marseille Roulette!). Graphics are definately better in FIFA. Single player depth is greater in FIFA. RS has online multiplayer, which is playable, but laggy. Also has local multiplayer, which plays fine. Both have FIFPro licenses (real players/teams). Summary: RS if multiplayer is important to you, or you want to save a few bucks. Otherwise, go FIFA.
Can't judge anything about FIFA but between RS and X2, X2 takes the cake easily with the better graphics. The controls for X2 are also much more intuitive and easier to use.
