Amazon.co.uk Review

In a nutshell:
The official game of the 2006 World Cup has all the stadiums, players and kits of the real thing, but the biggest surprise is that it actually improves upon the usual FIFA gameplay too. So if England does not win in real life, you can at least make sure they do in the virtual world.

The lowdown:
. In previous years, FIFA Word Cup games have meant little more than a cut down version of the existing FIFA game, however this version features not just the 32 teams from the finals but the chance to play as any of the other 95 countries from the qualifying rounds. There’s even the option to replay historic World Cups – although only a handful of older players are included. In terms of gameplay things have been noticeably speeded up and there’s even an alternative control system that exactly mimics rival Pro Evolution Soccer. PES fans will still be suspicious but this really is the best FIFA yet.

Most exciting moment:
Reliving the glory of 1966 with the current England team and then going on to do the same thing in this year’s Cup as well!

Since you ask:
Many of the England team, including Wayne Rooney, claim to be video games fans and many have mentioned playing the FIFA games between real matches.

The bottom line:
A genuine improvement on FIFA 06 with the usual top notch EA presentation.
Harrison Dent

Disappointing 2 Jun 2006
Platform for Display:Xbox
Fun:   
I disagree that this game has improved on fifa 06, i swear it looks worse. The whole England team aren't on it, Lennon and Walcott have been left out despite players like Luke Young and Nicky Butt being put in. Lots of little things have been left out from fifa 06, just like little menu options etc. It just gets annoying. There are also countless glitches and bugs - From the commentators getting the names of the teams wrong! To constant slow downs in replays etc, and visual bugs as well where sometimes in a celebration the players torsos get replaced with the background?! You cannot even update the international selections like fifa 06. Clearly it was made for the xbox 360 (where it's probably good), and they quickly whacked out a crap xbox version to grab a few sales. Stick with fifa 06 on the xbox.

Fun:   
Sublime graphically as you would expect from a 360 game, smooth game play although sometimes you dont always feel in control, slightly disapointing in single player ,but in multi player superb fun, detail terrific and extras are aplenty, but overall it leaves a bitter taste for a game costing 50 pounds,only buy if you are mad about football.
