2010 FIFA World Cup (Xbox 360)
2010 FIFA World Cup (Xbox 360) Reviews
Whether you are a huge soccer fan or totally new to the sport this game is a blast. I bought Fifa 10 at release and have played it a ton and this game only improves on it. Same great engine from Fifa 10 is tweaked to address some major annoyances. (Defenders chesting balls in the box down straight to attackers for gimme goals, easy chips of the keeper)
Scatter shot observations.
All 199 teams, many with authentic jerseys. New stadiums and overall presentation is great although the in-game cut scenes can get a bit repetitive.
Graphics in the cut scenes are also improved and the player close-ups look better than ever. Captain your country is a pretty cool feature, and if you have a created player from Fifa 10 you can transfer him over. The stats you worked so hard to build up will not transfer though as you have to progress by performing well in qualifying and friendlies on the way to the World Cup.
Tourney mode starts with qualifying and friendlies. A simulate match option would come in very handy here since it takes forever to make it to the actual tournament.
Scenarios mode puts you in real life situations from the qualifying around the world with goals to accomplish in each game. Very fun mode with additions coming as the actual cup progresses. The announcers, while not my favorite individuals, are very accurate to situations and add to the game when you can hear them over the crowd (sliders available).
Online mode is fresh but limited to a World Cup tourney starting from the group stage. Pick one country and play three group matches to progress, then to the round of 16, and four single elimination games to win the cup. You do not have to play them all at once. Not sure how the matchmaking works but it is a blast. I would have enjoyed the inclusion of the team play modes which were a blast in Fifa 10. Doubt this was a space issue so I think it should have been included in a full price game.
I guess that is it. Overall a great purchase for most, especially if you have some competitive friends to play with!
GO USA!
I got the game for my boyfriend and he loves it!! The graphics are so much better than FIFA 2010. The only thing that's a bit annoying is that when you try to update rosters through XBOX Live, it doesn't always accurately update it.
Best fifa game ive played. Graphics are a little bit better then fifa10. 199 National teams to choose from. Full national anthems are included. Official world cup stadiums for South Africa. I really enjoyed the demo and decided to get it the day it came out. Really fun, runs a little more smoother then fifa10. I highly recommend this Fifa World Cup game to any Fifa video game fan. This is a fifa world cup game not a Club game. Please ingnore other low rating giving users.
