Shooting hasFIFA Soccer 10 Wii is an over-the-top, non-stop soccer game that is designed exclusively for the platform. A polished gameplay experience that emphasizes action, approachability and responsiveness has been created that contains various key gameplay improvements and innovations. Shooting has been refined for improved shot power, accuracy and the ability to score from a greater range of distances and angles. Passing has been refined for faster and more accurate execution, while improved pass targeting and AI logic will create more open spaces and generate greater scoring opportunities. Goalkeepers will be more responsive when positioning themselves for a save, while still allowing for juicy rebounds adding to the non-stop soccer theme. The defending AI has also been reworked to allow for more urgency in the 18 yard box, meaning more block attempts and better player positioning to provide better team defensive coverage. When packaged together these gameplay improvements will keep the action fast and furious on the pitch. [Electronic Arts] Expand

  1. It's a game that walks the line between arcade and simulation with great ability and is tons of fun to boot. While long-time FIFA fans will likely gravitate towards the HD versions, the Wii version is an excellent addition to any soccer fan's game collection.
  2. The arcadey approach is an interesting diversion for the series and one that just about pays off. [Nov 2009, p.80]

    It may seem to lack a few features found in other formats' versions, but FIFA 10 on Wii still manages to claim the trophy for best Wii football game so far.
  4. If you are limited to just one console, or you plan on playing with youngsters, FIFA Soccer 10 for Wii is a quality game that does just enough to satisfy the majority of players' soccer lust.
  5. It would have been nice to have more modes of play, but what is offered here is an improved over previous Wii iterations. Still, for a nice arcade-like take on the FIFA franchise, this Wii version does a nice job.
  6. FIFA 10 goes for style over substance and delivers in parts. Yet the shallow gameplay and lack of realism go a long way to pushing this towards the kiddie market. A real shame for long-time FIFA aficionados.

    FIFA 10 is definitely snappier than previous installments as a result, but it doesn't go far enough. [Dec 2009, p.84]

    I created an account on this site just to put these bad reviews to bed. This game is 100% fun. First, it's better than any other FIFA I created an account on this site just to put these bad reviews to bed. This game is 100% fun. First, it's better than any other FIFA for the wii as far as multiplayer. Second, it has good online options. Finally, the arcade influence is refreshing. Yes, the animated look is odd at first but its preferable to the ps2 style graphics of the previous editions. Expand

    The free kicks and penalties system with the wii remote will always bring back good memories. This game was an absolute blast to play with my brother.

    It has a lack of depth and gamemodes, but it's fun to play, if you don't expect a simulation.

    Graphically and overall, the game is fine. The refs are awful tho, u slide in and if you don't get the full ball you are sent off. It also isGraphically and overall, the game is fine. The refs are awful tho, u slide in and if you don't get the full ball you are sent off. It also is too easy to score with routine 5,6,7 goal thrillers and the keeper ai is stupid. Also to note, the "new" battle for glory Mode is decent and the rest of the modes are just good all round fifa stables Expand
