UEFA EURO 2012 FIFA 12 review

Electronic Arts usually come under fire every other year when they release a boxed game that lets you play through the Euros or the World Cup.

Their senior vice president of worldwide development Andrew Wilson has been quoted saying “building anything on a platform just for the sake of it doesn’t make sense.” And I agree – unless you want to try out that famous Cantona kung-fu kick!
