Fair

An easy 500 gamerscore.. but the game blows

First off.. I hate soccer, so I may be a little biased, but this game is garbage.

For the most part the graphics are just plain poor.. EA really didn't even try to take advantage of everything the Xbox 360 can do.. kinda felt like I was playing on a GameCube.

The game play itself, for a sports game, is fairly simple (which is, in my opinion, is a plus). Yes, you can do complicated button combos for wicked moves, but its not necessary to learn all that to enjoy a game or win the World Cup.

As for achievements, I got 500 gamerscore in just a few hours. There is one achievement worth 500 gamerscore, and its just not worth it unless you REALLY love this game.

I got the game and sent it back to GameFly all in the same day.

Bottom line, if you are an achievement junky (like me) its worth a rental for an easy 500. If you actually want a soccer game you'll enjoy for more than 30 min.. look elsewhere.

I know the game is old, but having just now tried it I would say this is a weak attempt for the power available with the 360 console. Hideous graphics and really bad game play.
