Fifa 16 Review



Fifa 16 is the newest installment in Electronic Art's hugely successful Fifa franchise.

Yet again EA have managed to improve on there game creating the most realistic football game to date.

Plenty of new features and improved graphics have given the newest Fifa a much more authentic style to it adding training in career mode to make you feel like your actually in control of your team. The pace of this Fifa has been massively slowed down to get it as close to real football as possible, all the errors in the previous Fifa have been solved in this new and improved game with a lot of glitches and errors being corrected.



Graphics
Graphically this years Fifa has improved massively with the player faces looking more realistic then ever before and plenty of new player faces added, crowds have been improved slightly and look much better then in the last game. Grass in the stadiums is a lot nicer with noticeable footprints and lines being left all over the pitch making it look a lot more authentic then ever before with easily the best graphics in any football game to date

Gameplay
Gameplay on this Fifa has changed drastically compared to last years version offering much more slower pace games however the slowed down speed in this years Fifa is a massive downgrade compared to last years fast paced action making some games feel slow and boring. The passing in this game is the worst from any of the last few installments with passing constantly going in wrong directions and being over or under powered which can be annoying. However goalkeepers have been improved and several bugs have been removed from the game.





Rating
Overall this game is very good and although the realistic slow paced style takes away abit of the fun it is still a very enjoyable game and another improvement to the Fifa series. Overall I give the game an 8/10 and its definitely worth the money, there are also plenty of other reviews to check out here. http://www.trustedreviews.com/fifa-16-review

Gaming machines

Arcade

Arcade games are coin operated games which unless you spend a lot of money are not used in homes, only one game can be used and only some arcades allow for two players and these have multiple buttons on the arcade for both players to use. Arcade machines are not as popular as they used to be with console gaming becoming a lot more popular however arcade machines are still popular in japan. Games such as Space invaders and Pac-man were very popular on arcade and there are new games such as Dark escape 4d.

Console

Console gaming is a lot different to Arcade gaming as instead of using coin operated games you buy discs which are then installed onto the console allowing you to play multiple games on one console whereas its only one game per machine in arcades. Also controllers are very different as you have wireless controllers for consoles instead of having buttons on the machine like arcade machines have, also consoles can be used for reasons other then gaming. Gaming consoles are also a lot more popular then arcades now. Also these consoles have a lot better graphics then arcade games. Games like The last of us, Halo and Uncharted.

PC Gaming

PC gaming graphically is better then console gaming however it is also a lot more expensive as it costs a lot of money to buy the best things for PC gaming and also must be kept updated whereas console gaming stays relatively the same as soon as you buy it. PC gaming concentrates more on strategy games such as World of Warcraft and league of legends. The PC is also mainly played using a mouse and keyboard however it can be played using controllers as well. Also whereas most console games get bought as physical copies and only some digitally downloaded it is the opposite for PC with most games being bought online with steam. PC although more expensive then consoles offers cheaper games and has a lot of sales and offers a larger choice of games.

Mobile

Mobile gaming is graphically the weakest of all gaming machines with mobile phone graphics not being that great. The games on mobile are all downloaded through an app store and a lot of the games on mobile are free and others only have slight costs. Most games on mobile usually have in app purchases such as Clash of Clans and 8 ball pool. These games are played using the touch screens of the phones. Unlike other platforms the mobile can be played anywhere you go. On mobile there is a massive choice of games to use as there are loads of free games to download.

Handheld

Handheld gaming much like mobile is portable so can be played anywhere at anytime. Also just like arcade machines all the buttons are on the console not allowing for 2 players other then online play. There isn't as many games as there is for mobile or PC however there is still a lot of games. Like consoles handheld games are mainly brought as physical copies but still can be downloaded. Graphics are not as good as console or PC but are better then mobile. Also games for handheld consoles are a lot cheaper then they are for regular Consoles. Also Some handhelds utilize both touchscreen and has buttons allowing to play in two different ways. Handheld have similar games to console but usually add touchscreen to the game for example Street fighter, Mario and Legend of Zelda. The PlayStation vita is also usable for remote play on the PlayStation 4 where you can use it as a controller.

Overall

Each gaming machine is different in its own way but they all have there similarities but are all unique with PC gaming being the most powerful with the largest selection of games and being mainly online whereas with arcade games you have to travel and use coins to play. Console and handheld uses discs or cartridges for games whereas PC and mobile are mainly online. Also each of these feature exclusive games. The biggest difference is that PC and console games are playable from your home and arcade machines need you to travel to play unless you have a lot of money. Handheld and mobile allow for you to play anywhere you like and at any time you like.
