Rating:  - amazing game!
Now that the world cup has come and gone, I still continue to love this game. I had never played a soccer game before in my life, but I tried this one out and it definitely hooked me in. The controls are easy to learn, and it's fun to get to learn the rosters of different teams since the graphics are so good you can easily learn what players look like.
Rating:  - Played this game for 2 months now, and it's not that great
I've played many EA FIFA soccer games, starting with FIFA 95 (I think), and this got to be the worst of all. In general the game just doesn't feel like it was well-thought out.
1, the graphics aren't impressive. This being a XBox 360 game I think we all deserve nicer graphics.
2, the game menu is very time consuming to navigate. It seems that if you select any item on the menu, it will ask you again and again if you want to save the settings to the harddrive, when the harddrive ... Read More
Rating: - Great Game
This game is very fun. It really shows you how hard it is to make it to the World Cup. The game is very challenging and one mistake can make you lose.
Rating: - Fun gameplay, great atmosphere.
I'm an American who played soccer when he was a kid but really doesn't watch much on TV aside from when the World Cup rolls around every 4 years, so take my review w/ a grain of salt. However, that said, I think FIFA World Cup 2006 on the Xbox 360 is a VERY fun soccer game. I'm told that the Winning Eleven series (which unfortunately doesn't have an Xbox 360 version yet) is a more accurate soccer simulation, but I never felt like FIFA WC 2006 was too arcadey. I think it does a good job of emulating real soccer. ... Read More
Rating: - Simply, a must-buy for any fan
I haven't played the aforementioned ROTC, but I have heard about its numerous flaws. I must say that this game simply cannot be compared to ROTC; it really is very good.
The main menu leads you to: play now (generic exhibition game), 2006 World cup, other game modes (practice, global challenges, penalty shootout). You can also check out video clips of all the German cities and stadiums in the actual world cup, but they're pretty boring unless you really like seeing trains move around through Stuttgart ...
