5.0 out of 5 stars A fun follow-up to 09, and easy to pick up and play, April 29, 2010

This review is from: 2010 FIFA World Cup (Video Game)
I am a fan of FIFA 09 for Wii, but I was deterred from buying 2010 because of bad reviews. But with the World Cup coming up, I decided to purchase the game to get to know the squads for the upcoming tournament. I am enjoying this game immensely.

First off, the gameplay- the addition of using B to do high passes brings the game's fun factor up by a mile, and was something missing from 09. The shots are explosive and remind me of a more arcade experience, but it's quite fun. The shooting is a bit like the Footii matches from 09, but faster shot speed. There is a bit of slow motion that comes when shooting, but it enables you a split second to position your defensive player to make a block and help protect your goalie. I don't find it obtrusive, but some might so please keep this in mind. So far, I am not sure if this feature can be disabled. Shooting on set pieces is more difficult, and is not as automatic as it was in 09- you no longer point the Wii remote at the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Game for the International football fan, June 28, 2010

This review is from: 2010 FIFA World Cup (Video Game)
If you are a football fan, specifically an International football fan then this game is right for you. No it's not Soccer, it's football!

Surely you must have tried one of the EA Sports FIFA games and if you haven't you should. South Africa 2010 game is pretty much the same as FIFA 2010 (which is based primarily on club football) but focused on International teams with some mild improvements. Graphics and output is very nice. Some basic highlights:

You can "Hit the pitch"
Challenge ANY of the final 200 teams in qualifying for World Cup
You can create your own world cup
Swap teams for the final 32
Change the teams in groups of your choice
Or even swap players (ridiculous but true)
It has on-line playing
And in interesting challenge to create your dream team

However, it's all based on the structure of the South Africa World Cup; stadiums, dates, venues and the ever controversial vuvuzela! Amazing how this games captures... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent game but more of the same, good for kids, May 24, 2010

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: 2010 FIFA World Cup (Video Game)
It's a decent, arcade-ish, multiplayer-oriented soccer game, but it suffers from being far too similar to FIFA 10 (if you already own FIFA 10 you're getting just slightly more than a re-skin of it). The game features unrealistic physics and some crazy-insane slow-mo effects (very Matrix-like) to really bring out the all-important "cool factor," however, it eschews realism in favor of fast-paced fun.

The rest of the gameplay feels very old school with only eight directions available for movement which makes it very tough to have effective runs up the field and even tougher to turn the corner around the defender. Other annoyances come when you try to intricately weave passes through the defense. Having through balls and standard passes on the same button is a real mistake. You can no longer hold down the pass button to determine its power, as holding it down now triggers a through ball. Too often the player I'm trying to pass to was too far away for the game to realize where... Read more
