Picking up the latest FIFA has pretty much become an involuntary reflex for many gamers, but it's still good to be reassured that the quality is there - and GamesMaster's new FIFA 12 review does so in spades.

In its four-page review the mag says "the new emphasis on precision dribbling makes each encounter a mini game of human chess," praising the new Impact Engine which it says ensures "no two collisions are alike" and "players fall as they would in real life, meaning reckless tackles or a mid-air rendezvous such as this carry a high risk of injury".
The emphasis on 'containment' turns out to be "far more useful
than it first appears," GM continues, since "it allows you to keep pace with the forward and shepherd them away from danger and towards tactically unfavourable positions".
GamesMaster also praises the FIFA devs for designing and implementing tweaks that "iron out some of the foibles of defending that have irritated on a yearly basis." It goes on to wholeheartedly recommend the game for the football fan that "exhausted FIFA 11 and is thirsty for a new challenge"
To read the full review along with new looks at BioShock: Infinite, Skyward Sword, Batman, Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, pick up issue 243 of Games Master, which hits store shelves on Monday.
