Dealspwn: "By presenting itself as DLC, the FIFA 12 engine is a given, and it's still a lot of fun. But by making it so that you have to own FIFA 12 in order to play this half-hearted, half-licensed, half-baked expansion, EA Sports have shut the door to impulse purchasers, pumped on the spirit of the competition. No one in their right mind will buy FIFA 12 just for this, and those that already own the game will find far better services there than this paltry offering. [...]
Thus, when it comes to giving a final verdict on this expansion, it's important to judge Euro 2012 solely on its content. Sadly, for over £15, there's just not enough here to recommend at all. This game, perhaps even more so than the full releases that came before, underlines the cash-in nature of these tournament spin-offs, and it's difficult not to feel, even though we've arguably received what we asked for, that we're not just being ripped off in a new way."

And this made us wonder; what could possibly go wrong in a video-game when physics engine go insane? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can get some gay stuff thanks to the Impact Engine of Fifa 12 & 13, spinning cars, boobs that can go up and down, and games with non-existent collisions (yeah, we’re talking about the legendary ‘Big Rigs’ game)."
LOL! That freaking Skate 3 video collection was just amazing... I want that game now...
LOLOL THAT was the funniest thing I've ever seen!!! Especially the Skate 3 compilation!!!
That was good times. Laughed so hard it made me want to search for more.
Go Nintendo - When EA was contacted about FIFA 12 being largely repackaged as FIFA 13 for Wii, here's what a rep had to say.
Go Nintendo seems to be scratching for news here. Sure, it probably is the same game, but what do you expect with Wii?
lol EA repackaging old games into the new version each year?
Wait until the Madden fans find out...oh wait nevermind.
Wow EA and here I actually gave you a little credit for Fifa 13.
Now I feel stupid. How are companies able to just rob people like this? Actually getting away with it being caught red handed also?
Can someone sue these basterds already, charging for online to play in old games, now this? Is this not enough proof they are greedy as shit?
Or am I missing something here?
They probably don't even sell enough copies on wii to justify any major effort. They just release it with an updated roster for those who missed last years or new comers.
WC - Now that EA Sports have released this year’s addition to the FIFA franchise – and picked up a five star review from us in response – it’s time to get under the skin of FIFA 13, and cater to those players who will have already began to log some serious hours not only in online play against friends, but also in Career Mode and building their Ultimate Team from the ground up. And that means looking a lot closer at the players in the game, and at EA Sports’ ratings decisions.
