World Tour Soccer 2006 provides gamers with a familiar yet enhanced gameplay experience, complete with even more features, players, teams and stadiums. Highlighted by more than 935 international and club teams from around the globe, along with an astounding 19,000 FIFPro licensed players from 32 different leagues, eight international tournaments and 28 unique stadiums, the global game of soccer has been recreated with exceptional detail in order to capture its enormous scope and popularity. Choose from multiple modes of play including Exhibition Match, Season, Career and Challenge Mode. The game features EyeToy functionality and the all-new Digimask technology. Utilizing the EyeToy USB camera, gamers can take snapshots of themselves and literally get into the game. Once the player has taken their self-portraits, Digimask technology converts the high-resolution images of a gamer's head into a full 3D model so that they can personally battle against the world's best.

It may not have the intricate graphical finesse of a "Winning Eleven" title, but this is a solid title that entertains the eyes, challenges the skills and scores in terms of entertainment.

PGNx Media
A solid soccer simulation. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t have the tight controls, online play, or flashy graphics of its competition.
77
GamingTrend
For those people who are hardcore soccer fans, you're still going to be better off with the superior Winning Eleven Soccer series, which has more depth and details and dosen't have the problem that WTS 2006 has with the problems reading their menus.
73
Gaming Nexus
This game plays a fun game of soccer and one that anyone can enjoy… even the non-soccer freaks.
70
DailyGame
Great variety & depth but still ends up being a goal short of a hat trick.
70
GamePro
Although entertaining in an arcadey sort of way, the game doesn't exactly play like soccer.

Gamezilla!
Graphically, World Tour Soccer 2006 meets the mark but the commentating is probably the worst I’ve heard in some time. Basically is repeats the same phrases over and over.

IGN
This is a tough choice. On the one hand, "FIFA" does a number of arcade things equal or better than WTS06, while on the other hand, "Winning Eleven 8" shreds both games in the simulation department.

Game Informer
It's business as usual over at 989, and it must figure business is pretty good. Well, it isn't - it's pathetic. [Apr 2005, p.128]
59
Gaming Target
A subpar game of footie that really isn't worth worrying about. The PSP version is pretty good...this one is not.
51
Worth Playing
I can't bring myself to play this game more than a few times, unless I have to.
50
PSX Extreme
"Winning Eleven" is light years ahead of the game in every aspect, and costs the same amount of money. "FIFA" provides a better arcade-like experience and features online play – the only soccer title to do so this year.

PSM Magazine
The overall flow of the game is erratic and the defensive AI is dreadful. [Apr 2005, p.78]
47
GameSpot
Perhaps the most disappointing (and surprising) thing about World Tour Soccer 2006 is that it's vastly inferior to the recently released PSP World Tour Soccer game, which not only plays a better game of soccer but also features a style-based challenge mode that's infinitely more enjoyable than that on the PS2.
42
Gaming Age
The game is no means a bad title, it just feels average, and at the near end of a system's life cycle, average just does not cut it for 40 bucks anymore.
40
Operation Sports
If you want the height of realistic soccer strategy and gameplay, move along. If you want to have a little fun in a slightly more arcade-like title with every team under the sun and almost any player you can imagine, give it a try.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
Scoring opportunities are too easy and mean too little, and the "wow" moments - scoring a goal, beating a defender - serve up more yawns than adrenaline. [Apr 2005, p.109]
40
G4 TV
It’s too unresponsive, there are rare fouls (outside of the ridiculous dive button), the replays are appalling, and the game just doesn’t feel enough like soccer.
40
GameSpy
Subpar gameplay, graphics and presentation.

GameCritics
My advice to Team Soho would be brief: raze the series to the ground and start anew. This engine is long past its better days.
