FIFA World Cup Germany - XboxBerg's Review

General comments: As a Football maniac and having already written a review for The Road To The FIFA World Cup I feel it is now time to let everyone know what this version is like. To start off with please note that this is the actual World Cup game this is not a short cut like the previous game. We have every single International team you can think of. But is it better than the previous outing on 360? Well read below and all will be revealed.

Graphics: 09 / 10
It's hard to say if the graphics are better in this version. The players look very real close up but as most of the game is played from a distance the only time your going to see them close up is when you hit pause or the ball goes out of play. Either way, the pitch look real and the fans around the stadium look real, but I can't help but think the crowd needs some sort of improvement to bring them to life. Maybe more movement or jumping or waving scarfs, that kind of thing.

Sound: 09 / 10ddddd
As far as sound can go on a football game it is very good. It brings the realistic feel of each game. The sound of the crowd is done perfectly. You can feel the tension in the commentators voice as your barreling down the wing getting ready to unleash a cross a' la Beckham for Rooney to smack into the net. (shame he's injured for the real tourney). Anyways, the commentary is fantastic. There are no pauses or gaps between whats going on on the the pitch and they truly feel like they are commentating on a real game rather than reading a cue card.

Controls: 10 / 10
Improved over the last game because now it's easier to play a more fluid game of football. It's hard to describe how this is done unless you have played RTTWC.

Gameplay: 09 / 10

Single-player
Easier to score and also more variations of scoring which for me is very important for longetivity. You will find yourself playing in different ways to try and score dfferent type of goals. You have a certain amount of star players in your team. For example in the English national team we have Rooney, Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard. These players abilities will stay true to their real life abilities like Ronney for speed and power, Lampard for long shots and slicing the defence apart with through balls, Gerrard for his strength and Beckham for his free kicks and crossing of the ball.
There is a great scenario play in single player which makes the longetivity stretch further where you will have to play real life scenarios from previous World Cups.

Multi-player
I have had no lag in games yet and I have only been disconnected maybe 3 times in 50 matches. What else can be said about Multiplayer? Well to start with I am very hard to beat and if you think your hard enough then bring it on!! But in all seriousness the online option for this game is what keeps me glued to my TV.

Replay value, longevity: 10 / 10

Single-player
Will take you a while to master this game but do yourself a favour and log onto Xbox LIVE and play it.

Multi-player
Creme de la Creme as they say. Will have you cursing, singing, laughing, praying, screaming, and everything else.

Overall rating: 09 / 10
So why not give this game a 10 out of 10? Well for th simple reason that although this is a World Cup game only it would have been nice to have club teams also but then if we had that then we wouldn't have FIFA 2007 to look forward to.

XboxBerg......out!ddddddd
