Even better than the real thing?

We've only just seen the first shots, and already we feel like calling EA's FIFA 12 one of the most graphically impressive Vita games.

The high resolution shots here show the portable version of EA's soccer stunner is shaping up to be easily the most realistic looking handheld football game ever: check out the detail in Messi's hair, for example.

There's still some work to do to get rid of the slightly robotic and waxy looking players but considering the game's not out for ages yet we'll no doubt see EA make great strides before launch.
