Fox Footy Interactive

There is a huge hype about Sport interactive coverage offered by foxtel digital, where u can choose what angle and player stats show up on the screen while u watch the big game. Well for the 1st time i actually tried it out for the Geelong vs Hawthorn game.....

Firstly, you'd think they'd get a better game with interactive coverage. I mean, its not exactly the most thrilling teams playing. Secondly, i dont think there's enough cameras on the ground, coz u effectively only have 4 views to choose from. And u cant choose 2 or 3 to show at a time, it must be 4 or 1. So i guess i was disappointed in the lack of freedom of navigation.

The BEST part of it was the audio. U could choose standard, stadium or umpires. If u havent already guessed, u can choose standard commentary, stadium noise or the mic'd up umpires. The best one is the umpire one, coz u get to hear every grunt and comment of the umpire, which is quite amusing at times. Especially when they bounce the ball! :)

Overall, i give it an 8/10..... :)
