this game has All that i wanted the fifa 10 is good but no world cup section (not world cup version)
Rating: 5 / 5
I needed a new soccer game since the world cup was coming up, and I thought what better than 2010 FIFA World Cup? The gameplay seems to be more for the casual fan. I really wanted a game with a road to the world cup, but it is mostly just the World Cup. I really didn’t do my research when I bought this game so I really just blame myself. I gave it 2 stars because I think the game would be great for young kids. The Wii version has a nice all play that my young nephews and nieces who have never played soccer games can utilize. I will probably give them the game after I win the world cup. Nevertheless, this isn’t the soccer game for me. They just don’t make them like they did in the 90s.

I like the fact that you could use the new Classic Controller Pro, and that you could play any country in the world. The main thing that’s annoying is shooting at goal. I was looking for a setting to change the way shots are presented. I saw some unfavorable reviews for FIFA 10 regarding this horrendous way of shooting the ball at the goal. Every shot seems unrealistic, like as if it’s going 110 miles an hour. I don’t see many finesse shots, like in real life, on the ground, swerves, deflections, or chip shots. You can adjust to chip it, and it looks all right. Then the shot is shown in slow motion. How annoying. The replay looks so much better. I have only played against the CPU, and the opposing team will take the hardest possible shot from 30 or 35 yards out. Remember, the box is at 18 yards out in real life. My goalkeeper can’t even catch it from 35 yards out. That is very unrealistic. In real life, a keeper could most likely control it from that far out. Plus, on corners, the players do acrobatic and bionic looking shots. I think this series of games has devolved. What is the EA brand thinking? I hope they make it look more realistic like years past.

I loved FIFA 09, and I thought World Cup 2010 would be even better, with international teams and improved gameplay. EA Sports has gone in the complete opposite direction with this one. FIFA 09 was a more realistic simulation; this version is dumbed-down, arcade style gameplay. I’m sure little kids will love the slow-mos, rocket shots, and such other arcade-like features, but if you’re looking for the real thing, don’t bother with this one. I returned mine for a gift card.

After my ten-year old broke his collar-bone, I was looking for something to make his enforced downtime a little easier. Saw this game advertised, and it certainly was topical. He readily mastered the interface, so I have to say it’s intuitive. Gameplay has been quite enjoyable for him and his brother. Has definitely made the healing process go a little quicker for him. (He can control the nunchuck part of the controls with the thumb on the broken arm side, leaving the larger motions for the good arm.)
