x2 Football 2010

[steelfires]

Before I start the review, I would like to point out a few things. First of all, X2 football 2009 has higher reviews than real soccer 2010 and fifa world cup and all the other soccer games. 2nd, the people over at exient have the most experience, as they developed FIFA for the PSP and DS, so they have the most experience in mobile platforms. Now to the review.

Content: The content in X2 soccer 2010 is much improved from the 2009 one, with more than enough to keep most people happy. After all, most people aren't going to play through 30 tournaments, with a minimum of 18 games each. There are 3 modes in X2 soccer 2010.
1. Tournament- 30 tournaments, from brazilian cups to international tournaments.
2. Exhibition match- 1 match with any team against any other team.
3. Dream Team- This one is really interesting. You start with a really sucky team, kinda like an all star team but instead an all-suckers team. Whenever you play with your "dream team", you get awarded tokens that can be used to purchase players from all over the world to create your own personal ultra-awesome team.

Controls: This is one area where X2 really shines. To move there is a floating joystick. A floating joystick is a joystick where the joystick moves to wherever your finger is. This way, you'll never put your finger down and find you moved it off the D-pad again. To sprint, you simply move the joystick further off the center, a much better way than certain other soccer games. For example, Real Soccer 2009 used a infamous double tap D-pad to sprint, one of the worst control schemes used on a iphone game, and possibly any other game as well. Now, both real soccer and fifa have copied X2, making a floating joystick that in my opinion, doesn't move the player as well.
The other controls are a lot better than other games as well. Instead of the A and B buttons that Real Soccer uses, X2 uses the buttons http://en.onsoftware.com/wp-content/...2009/10/x2.jpg
