2010 FIFA World Cup (Playstation 3)

I got this game yesterday and so far I'm very impressed.

This is by far the best world cup EA has created in their FIFA World Cup series. The atmosphere, graphics, and user interface are much improved over last world cup.

First, the positives:

The game play is pretty realistic. The defense is much harder to break down than in previous versions, which seems to keep the scoreline in check.

The online mode is awesome. You can actually pick a team and challenge other teams in world cup.

As far as the graphics go, I believe they're pretty strong. Stadiums, game action, and atmosphere, everything looks good. The crowds make you feel you are actually in the stadium.

Having 199 teams is a huge plus. You can even pick Afghanistan. LOL

Having two Button game play is a great addition for new comers in game.

Penalty kicks have improved and they are alot harder to score.

Btw the Goal looks bigger.

The negatives:

You still can`t play against friends in 2 vs 2 match up.

There are no clubs in it, but that doesn't bother me since I have Fifa 09 and Fifa 10.

Overall. it's a great game. If you want more features and clubs go buy Fifa 10, but if you want better graphics more International teams get this. This

game comes out every 4 years so I didn't mind paying for it and enjoy having my hometown team in there. So if you are hardcore fan of soccer or your

country didn`t make it to world cup buy this. You won't regret.

Take care and I'll see you online! :)

This is by far the best FIFA Game so far.

One of the best improvements over previous FIFA games are in my opinion the defense AIs. They now can actually stop shots and passes when they are close enough to the dribbler. The goal keeper AI is also greatly improved. He can actually come out to get the back pass where in previous games he just stands there and makes the entire back passing almost impossible to achieve.

The other great improvement is that now we have REAL Dutch players! Unlike previous FIFA series, we had made up Dutch players. You now will get your favorite Dutch players with their new uniform (a different type of orange, i liked the old orange color myself but it's just me)

Passing is still about the same compared to FIFA 09 and 08 and diagonal through ball is still one of the most lethal passes.

Crowd noises are much better than the previous games but the horns are kinda annoying but i guess EA wants to keep the South African theme going i guess.

Overall this is an excellent soccer game.

Didn't have much experience with football before but I love this game, the pace is very fast but thats what makes it fun. Theres a one glitch that occurs with player customization in captain your country mode, sometimes your players hair color changes during replays, but other than that all around the captain your country mode is very fun since you learn how to play the position you choose and your npc teammates are very smart but you still have some control over them since you can make them pass the ball to you or also pass the ball to them and choose when they shoot.
