Well allright, but how the hell can you compare World Cup with superbowl? Compare it with Champions League? Allright, it can pass.
But for fuc.k sake, it's god damn World Cup.

But, then again, they have world series of baseball, and I can't see any non-american club in it.

It can't be compared, its something that just americans can't understand. The only competition in the world that has the attention and importance of the World Cup, is the Olympics.

This game really promises a lot, taking your team to qualify the World cup step by step, is something that just regular PES and FIFA games can't give you.

I know a lot of friends that are PES-fans; but had played and liked FIFA 98 RTWC and Korea-Japan 2002 . Just because all that enviroment and realism of the game's scenario and pomp. Emotive celebrations, full-stadiums of people holding flags and confetti, what a rush :rockman:

That's a big reason that even could make you forget that this game has an inferior gameplay to PES, if you like football and if you are a true passionate of your NT .. definately you'll play this game :jap:

ign is full of crap. they're americans, they shouldnt be allowed to review a football game, lol (soccer for them).
ok, sorry for some americans who love and understand soccer, but come on, fifa world cup is still very beyond pes5 gameplay wise.
i have an open mind, i always try the latest fifa, i wished it was better than pes, cause it has all the teams, players, atmosphere, menus, sound, etc people can wish for. And in pes you have to patch the game. and that kind of annoys me, cause with xbox360 i get this feeling that i'll be playing pes6 and wont be able to patch it and make it perfect like in pc. So, in THAT aspect fifa kicks some serious ass.
but i played the demo of fifa world cup for 3, 4 days.... and it was cool. i imagined the game on xbox360 and i couldnt wait to buy it. gameplay was ok, very sattisfying. the shotting is alot better, etc. except for through pass. every through pass would put my sriker face to face with the goalkeeper, i couldnt stop scoring the same goal every time. but i guess (wish) thats just cause of the difficulty level of the demo.
but after those 3, 4 days i kept playing fifa i went back to try a pes5 match... and OMG, it felt like a all new game. its like it was the first time i played pes, it is so so so much better than fifa... just when i went to play that match of pes i realized how fifa was not that ok as i was thinking and feeling it was. playing pes again, made me realise how bad the ball feels in fifa. it feels like a baloon, like it has no heaviness. in pes you "feel" the ball. and theres just so many thinghs that fifa still lacks compared to pes.
i know pes has its faults, but spending 3, 4 days in the fifa demo and going back to pes seemed like pes was perfect.
i say all this with no joy, cause i wanted to buy fifa world cup for the xbox360, but i just wont now. i'll wait for pes6, which is going to take a longgg while...
im sad, cause i'll miss all the greatness of fifa (graphics, atmosphere, licenses, sound,etc),but i just wont spend 70 euros knowing that i prefer to play my patched pes5 on pc.

The reviewer is clearly either a clueless American or drunk/stoned... I would have given the game based on the demo a 5. The gameplay itself, was half decent but releasing a game at full price which is basically a stripped down version of fifa 2006 and a flashier version of a cup game mode, shows nothing but the fact that EA have absolutely no respect for football fans nor fifa fans. There is absolutely nothing to justify the full price tag in this game and for that, it really makes me angry, now if the game had a price tag of say £20, then it would probably be worth it. Not to worry though, after the world cup, this game will be in the bargain bins for a tenner.

I bought it for the xbox 360. Is it fun? Kind of. Graphics are pretty sweet (except for the crowd, I think the crowds suck! Especially for a next gen game...crowds in FIFA RTFWC were much better), and there's no slowdown like there was before...good framerate.

It always comes back to the gameplay. Maybe I've been playing way too much WE9 since it became compatible for the 360 (I don't want to start the battle, I'm not a fanboy), but the ball physics suck. And this whole new predetermined shot power? Crappy. There's no way that no one on the Portugal team can't rip one into the back of the net. The only way I can score is from crosses or the stupid Strip-the-ball-off-the-crappy-defender and pass it right by the goalie's legs....boring.

Maybe I haven't played it enough, I don't know. I do have some sense of enjoyment, mainly from the presentation side of things, but I dont get the excitement, or anywhere near the "randomness" of goals in WE/PES...goals still feel generic. I don't understand how EA can toot their horn about a 10 million dollar motion capture studio but can't match the ball physics or attention to detail in gameplay that WE/PES offers. If you invest in those kind of resources, do something with it!

Keep in mind, I WANT EA TO GIVE US AN EXCELLENT game. I'm not an advocate for Konami. PES has plenty of faults too, but fortunately for Konami, not really on the gameplay side of things.

If EA really concentrate on their gameplay for Fifa 07, no doubt it will be spectacular. But as it goes so far, it's mediocre. I don't know why the IGN reviewers thought this game was so much better than FIFA RTFWC, except for maybe on the framerate side of things, as well as more challenges.

Keeping my fingers crossed for future versions....
 
are the games at least challenging? I haven't played a FIFA game since 2001, always was a WE/PES fan, but recently I was very dissapointed with WE9 because of the fact that the computer NEVER scores! I'm getting tired of the lack of offence so I'm looking to try something new. Just wondering if WC2006 at least offers some competition?

Raise the difficulty level to World Class and you're in for a damn challenging match. And there is also the unlockable Perfect difficulty level...

funny thing is, that if you go to gamerankings.com theres 4 reviews already for fifa world cup 06 for the 360... and the average of those 4 reviews is 87%.
ehhehehehhhe, guess what, they're all US gamesites like ign, 1up, etc.
 
I went out and bought the game last night, and I actually enjoy it! I'm no EA fan, that's for sure, but I have to admit this is a fun game to play despite it's few flaws here and there. I'm glad I got it.
