Yet there is definitely great appeal in the direction taken and the final result is that FIFA 10 looks far better than any of the other FIFA games on Wii so far. The result does not mean that Rooney does not look like his real-life counter-part, but it is something that is bound to make some sectors, such as those more used to high definition visuals and super realistic players, turn their noses up at this Wii version. Gone is the flashy intro sequence and licensed soundtrack and in comes a much lighter style of appearance, with players still easily recognisable (for the most part - this is FIFA after all home of the most hideous of character models in the past…), but looking rather more cartoon-like than before, with pale shaded colours, rather like the approach taken for EA's recent tennis outing. FIFA 10 follows the same lead and is actually built from the ground-up, rather than being another format's version with waggle-controls forced in. The results have so far been extremely positive, with EA Sports Active, Tiger Woods 2010, Grand Slam Tennis and even Dead Space: Extraction all showing what can be achieved when some extra care and attention is put into Wii releases. After EA going on record to confirm it had 'backed the wrong horse', ignoring the Wii and facing the consequences, the developer / publisher started making a conscious effort to ensure its Wii line-up was of a higher calibre, rather than a bog-standard port from another system.
