yeh im surprised they got so annoyed over the absence of a manager mode... 
, Isn't taking your country to World Cup glory enough?
, Isn't taking your country to World Cup glory enough?Thats why I dont usually take review scores into consideration because like the manager mode for example, true they could of added it in for a international campaign but the whole point of the game is The World Cup Tournament. I mean this isnt a FIFA 06, 07, 08 etc.. game so I for one wouldnt expect to see it. ive seen many games get bad scores but yet end up being some awesome game. oh well.

i think that is a fair review for the basis of what they reviewed the game on. It is a fun game to play and there is a realistic feel to it and I enjoy the speed of the game. I'm playin the demo on semi-pro so i am killing the cpu, but it is still an improvement.

Well allright, but how the hell can you compare World Cup with superbowl? Compare it with Champions League? Allright, it can pass.
But for fuc.k sake, it's god damn World Cup.
But, then again, they have world series of baseball, and I can't see any non-american club in it.

I can't beleive IGN thinks that WC 2006 is getting more near PES/WE if you look at the gameplay. Yes,.. there is a small improvement if you would compare it with Fifa 2006, but honestly it get's nowhere near the PES Gameplay (I'm not a fanboy,.. I like the Fifa presentation a lot better, but let's be honest)...

WC 2006
9.0 Presentation
Every national anthem, facts about each country, every World Cup stadium -- EA nailed the international spectacle that is the World Cup.
7.0 Graphics
The cutscenes and replays look terrific, as do player animations, but regular gameplay is only decent, visually. That's videogame soccer for you.
8.0 Sound
Excellent work in the audio booth and with a responsive, riotous crowd. We're not sure which country will appreciate the song list, but it's probably not this one.
8.5 Gameplay
Yes it's a good imitation of Winning Eleven, but FIFA does manage to innovate with star players, shooting and PKs. Imitator or not, this is a fun soccer game to play.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
World Cup games are traditionally shallow and, while this is the deepest World Cup game yet, there should be more bang for your buck with some kind of manager mode.
8.4 Impressive OVERALL
WC 2002
8.9 Presentation
Top notch - All the trimmings one would expect of a global sporting event are here. The action replays rock. The menus are clear and simple - but perhaps ready for a facelift.
9.1 Graphics
Gorgeous. The faces, the animations, the stadiums - Simply wonderful.
9.2 Sound
Very impressive. Commentary is good and not as repetitive as previous versions. The roar of the crowd as you score your fourth goal against Germany to will the tournament send shivers down the spine.
9.3 Gameplay
The bugs of the last version are gone and the game profits immensely because of it. Nice solid earning curve and world class head to head action.
9.1 Lasting Appeal
Play through with every team, explore the different formations, play multiplayer - this will last longer than the actual real life tournament.
9.3 Outstanding OVERALL
4 years later & a decrease in rating of .9, almost a whole rating integer...
My rating 4 FWC just from the demo:
Presentation 9.6
Every national anthem, facts about each country, every World Cup stadium -- EA nailed the international spectacle that is the World Cup.
Qualifying regions included as well. It's not just RTWC its the WC! What we always wanted ever since FIFA RTWC 98!
Graphics 8.7
The cutscenes really capture the pagentry of the WC (even with my Radeon 9200). The player animations/skill moves look great as well. Most faces are again great, but not all, (even in the demo) a small downside. H/E i hope that there wont be any night time glare, b/c if there is i'll leave it as it is. Having Dusk Day & Night vesions of stads are fantastic.
Sound 8.7
Excellent work in the audio booth and with a responsive, riotous & multilingual crowd.
Natinal anthems and as we seen in videos the WC hymn add epic touchs to the games of the finals. Commentary is well done, but shucks, I would have prefered Martin Tyler...
Gameplay 7.9
The new shooting system of FIFA WC is the only new +, as far as gameplay goes. The freestyle moves are great but still from FIFA 06, so they're nothing new. Shots more logical, unlike the WE imitation freekick & corner system. Maybe I'm wrong but i havent heard any positive help otherwise.
Lasting appeal 9.6
If WC 2002 had a lot of things to do, multiply that by 100 for WC 2006. With not only the World Cup to vye for (with every team
), The Global Challenge mode really extends this game out for some time to come. And the Achievements are worth it too. Not only can you win the World Cup, you can beat every other team in the game while you're at it. All these allow for the purchase of unlockabales to gameplay, classic players & balls, and all sure to improve your FIFA WC 2006 experience.

culden't say it better my self
when u play pes is like if u on the pitch your self, as u can do almost everything u want.
playing fifa is like watching football becouse of the licanse, crowd atmosfer, and comentators are spot.
i wuld give the demo a try in my xbox360, hope is good, but don't thing i will buy it, as i will wait for fifa 2007 for xbox 360, that where i thing fifa will have true generation gameplay with new engine, well hope so.
also can't wait to see pes how it will look like in ps3.

I've played both, neither game is anything special. I'll be honest and I'm not biased towards either game. Everyone says pes has better gameplay, but other than that it has nothing, like 3 year olds designed the rest of the game. To say the truth neither game has good gameplay, I find both games to be boring after just a bit, but i don't expect better they're just video games. pes lacks big time in every other componenets, when you play it feels like your playing just another video game, while fifa feels more real, more authentic, sure gameplay isn't as good, but pes beats it by very little. Overall both games have their drawbacks and I wouldn't put one over the other. Either way go to the proper forum and praise pes more there.

Hey man.
Yeah the deal with FIFA vs. PES is obvious factors, but neither really makes a massive difference. PES isn't made by God, it's just a video game and it's not THAT good! Sure FIFA's gameplay isn't up to par with that of PES, but then again there's not some massive gigantic gap between the two, there is obviously a noticeable difference in difficulty and the rewarding feel you get from scoring a goal (that of which PES is more rewarding to play I think), but I wouldn't go cut my dick in half so I could stick it through Konami's CD.
I think the true fans for either game will obviously shout out what they think and have a go at each other because they have their own opinions...
Like me for example...all that I just typed was an opinion. I'm not some stubborn gamer who points to what I'm saying and says 'listen to me, I'm always correct, anything you say that is not agreeing with my football game preference, obviously leads to your lack of football knowledge and enjoyment of the sport!’
I think people forget what 'video game' is all about. If you enjoy it, play it..if you don't...DON'T PLAY IT! Peeps should stop arguing which game is better. I went through that stage when I was 16 and it got me no where on here.
Now where’s my girlfriend
I need attention after all this typing.NK.
