    This is a fantastic title that not only all Wii owners, but every fan of the sport will find something to enjoy. This might be a strictly arcade affair, but once you accept that and just focus on trying to score as many goals as possible, you will find it difficult to put down.

    FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010 is a cute game for young Wii players, but for pros it is a nightmare. The missing tutorial, the gameplay problems and the missing road to the world cup are the reasons for this statement. Younger players will have a lot of fun shaking the controller and watching the funny animations.

    Setpieces are simplistic and the instant appeal of the arcade style wears off after a while, but there's still enough fun here – particularly in multiplayer – to make this a decent game for fans wanting to get involved in the tournament at home.

    Despite the many disappointments, undoubtedly the thing that disappointed me the most with FIFA World Cup 2010 is that it has no identity. It doesn’t know whether it’s a simulation or a simplistic arcade game.

    Old school fun arcade soccer style with reasonably good gameplay and difficult. Zakumi's Dream Team and trophies can make you busy with this title. Not a must buy but check this if you are a football fan.… Expand

    The game is very arcade like. Tons of modes and game play variety make for great replay value. There however isn't much new to it that hasn't been in previous soccer games. Still, a nice enough game.… Expand
