Replay Crucial Moments From 2010 FIFA World Cup

Here’s an interesting football/video game thing. As a feature in the upcoming “2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa” EA have announced “The Coca-Cola Zero Story of the Finals” which will be available for free for PS3 and xbox360 owners of the game. Basically only hours after a real-life match is played at the world cup owners of the game can download key moments from said match and have a go them themselves. This compliments the Qualifying mode from the last game which only featured moments from the qualifying, something which I’m sure Irish football fans are glad is returning.

The Coca-Cola Zero Story of the Finals will enable gamers connected online to play real matches from the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final and face the same challenges their heroes experienced throughout the tournament. The free service complements an existing game mode called The Coca-Cola Zero Story of Qualifying which enables gamers to relive moments from the 2010 qualifying campaign and the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Finals through over 50 scenario-based challenges.

The FIFA World Cup series of games have generally scored lower than their yearly released FIFA counterparts so it’s good to see some more commitment to this one. It’s an interesting feature and means that there’s more to come for players who buy the game on it’s release of April 30th. The series has always been a companion piece to watching the World Cup and it’s great to see EA focusing on it’s strengths. We’ll have to wait and see whether this and other new features are enough to make this more than a novelty purchase.
