  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.

    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. An excellent World Cup atmosphere with polished FIFA 10 gameplay - it's just a shame that 2010 FIFA World Cup is so shallow. It's got the looks, but not the longevity.

  1. This game is incredible. The atmosphere is perfect, the randomness of the shots, the excitement of the game is all there. If FIFA11 is an improvement on this engine, FIFA's improvement from 2008 to 2011 will surpass that of the NHL franchise. Being able to every once in awhile take a go with Arjen Robben with his left foot from 30yds out and create something special is awesome. Expand
  2. Brilliant, perfectly captures the excitement and drama of the World Cup. Extremely well polished presentation and a host of options completely immerse you in the quest to qualify and ultimately win the coveted trophy. Expand

    This game feels like an other unfinished EA sports game... EA sports should focus on bringing games out when theyre done. So dont bring this garbage out every year! Im reffering too fifa 10/fifa 11 and with fifa 10 world cup in between. Expand
