FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006 User Review
This a fun, highly addictive game with great presentation, but doesn't have enough to make it better than FIFA 06.

This is a really fun game. Qualifying for the World Cup and playing in it gives a great atmosphere. This game is really good for anyone with an interest in football. This is the best Xbox 360 football game (better than FIFA 07). The graphics are ok, but the player models are really well done. They look very realistic and the famous players look like they're exact counterparts. The game is really fluid and fast and fun. The controls are good and have been tweaked a little. Shooting is now a lot better. The AI is quite good too. This game is extremely easy though. When I play on World Class with a team like France, I am easily able to beat any team. The computer gets off about 1 or 2 shots a game, whereas your team gets about 35. They computer goalie, no matter they're rating, is always better than your goalie and is able to stop the best shots. For instance, I was playing as Italy (one of the best teams) vs. St. Kitts (worst team overall in game) just to test out the goalies. St. Kitts' goalie has an overall rating of 21, and is the worst player in the game (I think the next best is 29 or 31, on the same team.) My goalie, has an overall rating of 94, and is tied as the best player. I slammed 26 shots at they're goalie, and they were able to shoot three. the final score was 3-2, i won. The only reason i scored was because of a blocked shot by theyre defender which trickled in, and two breakaway goals. (I had about ten breakaways in the game but the goalie continuosly denied them). My goalie, on the other hand, messed up. One player on St. Kitts lobbed a shot from about 40 yards out and my goalie trips, or something, and misses it. Another occasion was a weak header which slowly rolled, but my goalie refused to respond until it slowly SLOWLY passed him. This breaks the reality of the game, but if you play as a mediocre team on world class, it should make for a good experience (or if you play as a bad team on professional, so your goalie is pretty good). The commentators really mess up alot but they are pretty good otherwise. The songs are good too. If you like football, rent this game and you will probably decide to buy it later. This game should be tried out first, but overall it is still quite good.

For an older game this was certainly a surprise. Possibly the most fun Ive had with a FIFA game in a while.
