  1. An excellent game, fully capable of recreating the intense and engaging atmosphere of the World Cup, as well as improving on its predecessor in many ways. If you love football, and look forward to the ultimate gaming experience in that sense, this is surely the game for you.
  2. 86
    It's the closest you can get to the action without a ticket and a trip to South Africa.
  3. There are some great new additions to 2010 FIFA World Cup and, even though it doesn’t provide the same amount of depth or online options as FIFA 10, this is definitely a game worth having in your collection.
  4. Whether it deserves the hefty price tag is certainly questionable, but if you feel that FIFA 10 doesn’t satisfy your World Cup cravings, you you’ll be more than happy with the offerings available through 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

  1. It is an awesome game has made as if you are in the world cup. The downside is that you can get through the tournament quite quickly. It is a really fun game to play. Expand
  2. The game is fun, both in terms of presentation as well as the playful area. FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa is a first-class sports simulation. Stadium feeling of pure. Expand
  3. Playing this game is playing in like FIFA. The 199 different countries in 6 different continent is specialy good. But the game modes and online gaming sucks. Game also gets boring if play it few times. TFP1 Finland Expand
  4. Say all you want. But for penalty shootouts, there hasn't been a key binded to save the ball with the goalkeeper. And you can actually score against the AI every time just like on FIFA 10. No skill involved. Expand
