Thunderbolt: FIFA 10 (360) Review

What a difference a couple of years make. Who could have guessed that the FIFA series, which was once looked down on in scorn by diehards as the football title with all the correct colours and stitching in the right places, but not the substance to back it up, could now be the flag bearer of all that is football simulation. EA Canada threatened an unlikely overthrowing of Konami's stronghold on the genre with 08 and for the majority confirmed its dominance last year with 09. FIFA now finds itself in the unfamiliar position of being the favourite going into a new season and with that power comes almost all the responsibility of taking the genre forward.
