Over the years football games have developed not only through technology but through trends and styles of those years. Where as there are games that dedicate themselves to giving the most realistic look and game play to them there are other games that go for a more unconventional look and game play, for example there have been numerous football games where they base the game around famous computer game characters such as Mario strikers charged football which is a 3D game.
I've looked at this game in particular because i believe this game covers a wide variety of demographics such as children who would like this game because of the characters, worlds, magic amongst other things to the older generation game players who have followed Mario for years would like this game just because of the Mario franchise but of course they would have some interest in football.

Another game that i think could have a positive influence on the style of my animation is the FIFA Street games which is not very realistic in the way the game looks or plays to the normal game.
This game is based around playing on the streets, 4 players versus 4 players, also this game focus's around players performing tricks which you wouldn't really see to that extent in the World Cup or any other football tournament.
I think this game would appeal to wide age group from around 5 - 30 mainly because apart from the game play it looks very different (a more humorous look on the characters), playing in a different environment and unrealistic style of play. This game is a success because they have continued to make more games like this and in total to date they have three FIFA Street games.
I think the style of FIFA street will influence my project a lot because i want to design the characters in a different way (not so realistic) also because of the over exaggeration of the movements, i think this gives you more room to be more creative in the scriptwriting area.
Also another thing FIFA street did was to create short clips of footballers doing tricks on the street which was to help promote the game, this could be another way for me to help promote the FIFA World Cup 2010 tournament, possibly i could create some short virals...
