GameZone writes "We've seen all of this six months ago, and the fact that EA would re-release this game with just a minor roster update and new cover art, without adding the improvements that would've made this a real power player, is disappointing. If you don't have a soccer game for the Vita yet, this is as good of a purchase as any, but if you already own the original FIFA Soccer, just stick with it and watch for roster updates."
Games Asylum: "Outdated football games are a common sight when scouring jumble sales, car boots and charity shops for bargain price video games. Entire shelves filled with decade-old FIFA and PES games spread across a dozen formats. Often they end up in bargain bins, sitting alongside unwanted celebrity fitness DVDs and seemingly random TV show box sets. But here’s the thing. Not all football games gathering dust in the likes of Oxfam are in fact worthless."
Just who is buying FIFA 13 on Wii U? We may never know, but there are more people buying that than there are Bayonetta 2 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
Sonic Boom is riding off the popularity of the TV show; it's a bad game.
And as for FIFA?
Well, guess that goes to show that there's a lot of older gamers on Wii U that wanted FIFA, then; sports games generally do out-sell action games, and Platinum isn't known for large sales in the first place.
I'm not worried for Bayonetta. It'll hit that 1M mark by the middle of next year, surely, at its current pace.
are seriously trying to downplay Bayonetta 2 with sales
In Fails of the Weak #210, Jack and Geoff bring you fails in Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 13, Sportsfriends, Destiny, Halo: Reach, and FIFA 14.
Fair review, based on the gameplay itself.
But personally, I would have given it a rock bottom 0 for the complete and blatant rip off. Like so many before have said, it should have been a patch with updated teams and kits.
Screw EA and their crappy practices. No reason to be lazy wankers like that. If anyone is to blame, you can blame them.
