2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

After all the improvements made in FIFA 10 these "impreovement" feel like changes for change's sake. Which is not usually a good thing

However, the gameplay was still top notch, once you get used to it. They fixed the usual FIFA problems such as players not moving if a pass was slow or off-target and missing them, or crosses that were just flung in instead of an actual pass.

One good new feature was home field advantage where the home team gets a boost in ability and referee advantage, but they keep in the final where there is no real homw team, it's just there for uniform reasons, but thet keep the bonus.

There is also a Captain your country feature where you create or take a real player throught the road to the World Cup, which is good overall, but the in-game ratings system is flawed.

Now, thoose were the compaints. Every other thing in the game is great, the new penaltie taking style is much better than the old point-and-shoot. This was overall a good sports game and I recomend it to anyone.

this game is off the chart without a doubt the best world cup game released till today!! the team selection is over huge!! fifa world cup mode is very good and if you like soccer you cant let the cup start without playing this first .....!!!!! by the way goooooooooooo BRAZIL!!!

good game

I am not a huge sports fan but enjoy soccer video games and have played some other world cups in the past and this one was about the same but not with any real noticable changes for me to buy but a fun rental.

This game is a great soccer game, im not much into soccer (futball) but this game might just pull me in if you have played fifa 10 or own it then dont get your hopes up, i rented that right after this one and dindnt see much difference but being able to go to soo many places and use soo many teams that i could identify it was easy for me to learn and get in as well as have a great time get this game if you havent played fifa 10

if u have never played a soccer game before its very hard but if u have its pretty easy

This game was very frustrating for me to play. Even my 10 year old quickly tired of it because of the lack of control and overly complicated play. I'm not a huge gamer and won't dedicate every spare minute to learning a game like this inside out, so you should know this up front. I think for an avid gamer, this is probably a great game, but for an occasional player, it's just toooo much to learn and frankly just irritates the heck out of me. If you're not willing to spend what could be hours trying to master every concept of the game, it's just not worth the time. Getting shots off and on goal drives you crazy. Should also come with some kind of soccer glossary as I have no idea what half of the terms mean. This game is obviously made for the Rabid Soccer Fan (football if you're not from the US).

2010 FIFA World Cup: South Africa for the Xbox 360 is an incredible soccer game. First off the presentation is amazing. It really captures the celebratory nature of the World Cup. The pre-game presentation is there, the fan energy is present (though it could use some more vuvuzela to be true to the game) and everything seems spot on. The game's menus and loading screens are also some of the best I've seen in any video game. It's hard to explain, but they are just incredibly eye pleasing while capturing the feel of the World Cup. This is also true of the music in the game.

The gameplay is incredibly smooth and responsive. It's easy to get used to for amateurs (especially with its two-button mode) and the game gets more exciting and challenging (strategy wise) as you increase the difficulty.

Playing in the World Cup final is exciting and the reaction upon winning the World Cup is well worth it.

You can choose to play a full World Cup experience, starting in 2008 with plenty of qualifying and friendly matches, or you can jump right into the tournament with any of the teams that qualified this year. You can also customize the tournament to your liking if you don't want to play the actual 2010 tournament.

There's also the 'captain your team mode' aka 'be a pro' which adds more challenge to the game after (or before) you win the World Cup.

this game is the besttttttt

Looks good,game play is good,sound is perfect.The crowd looks amazing. EA has came along way with soccer games,cant wait till the new fifa comes out!!

Having grown up an American my story is typical: soccer was always a sport that those sissy Europeans played because they were too scared to play REAL football. MAN was I wrong!

I must admit that I'm a bit of an EA fanboy but I've grown bored with Tiger Woods, Madden, and the other major American sports titles they produce, so I gave FIFA:WCSA a shot.

My experience with soccer of any kind prior to this was the one year I played goalie because I was the fat kid when I was 5. I had no idea who any of the players were. I hadn't so much as heard a whisper of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Miroslav Klose. My childhood was spent idolizing steroid-users and selfish baseball players.

There's no need to go into the technical aspects, mainly because it's all over my head and I have no idea WHY it's pretty, but WOW it's pretty. The gameplay LOOKS difficult because of the amount of skill moves available but if you can learn a decent set of 5 or 6 good moves you will do just fine on any difficulty.

Captain Your Country is amazing in both ease of use and enjoyability. There's a certain feeling of inclusion and a connection to the player you choose to be due to the competition of gaining the captain's armband.

The best aspect for me was the multiplayer. My wife and 6-year-old son are both very novice level gamers. EA's Two-Button Controls option very nearly eliminates the learning curve and allowed my wife to become comfortable with the game and learn the nuances until she was ready to step up to classic controls. My son feels like he is actually involved because pressing A will make the best available pass and pressing B will result in a shot that rarely misses the target.

I loved this game so much that I literally watched every single game of the World Cup and I am now obsessed with Manchester United and Wayne Rooney. This game is fun, easy to play, and isn't so technical that those unfamiliar with soccer will feel overwhelmed. And Clive Tildsley is the man!

This was my first time playing a soccer game and it was quite fun. i like how it feels that you're really in a soccer game i like the intensity each match brings when you play.

I think this is the best soccer game out right now. I played a little of Fifa 10 and thought that was great. This game plays the same. Gameplay and graphics are top notch.

Im a NHL, GTA, COD, person but I wanted to try something new and when I got this I was pretty impressed for a soccer game. I had to change the controls but after that its pretty good.

Being entirely honest, this game is not much different from fifa 10, something I expected. I was hoping for a slightly more polished gameplay with added realism and better touch. I feel satisfied and can say it plays a little better in my opinion than fifa 10.

The scenarios are cool to complete and gives you something else to do and play with some teams you normally wouldn't. its worth the rent, but don't expect to be blown away.
