FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006 User Review

wildamnesia

World Cup 2006 was easily the most forgettable World Cup ever, but this game is much more fun and very cheap to buy now.

The Bottom Line:
"Worth playing"
Cheap 360 games are now appearing on ebay. I picked this up for only £6. At that price you can't go wrong - if it sucks sell it to someone else and make a small profit. Suprisingly, unlike the actual World Cup, this game doesn't suck.

It plays just like all the other FIFA footy games out there. It feels smooth and natural although the players do move a lot faster than real life.

The presentation makes this game stand out from the FIFA crowd. The cut scenes are great and frequent (I love the shots of the managers directing play as you change tactics). The replays look great and cover every angle (but you can't save them to your HD) and the commentary is spot on and hardly ever repeats itself (not that I've noticed anyway). The graphics are pretty good too. The players look almost life-like and the stadiums are highly detailed and packed with 3D crowds. There are problems though: The framerate is unstable - not on the pitch during play but anywhere else, especially corners and replays. This is ANNOYING in any game but extra annoying in this this game as it really stutters at times and ruins the feel of the game.

I would not recommend this game at the full retail price - no way. But for only £6 it's a steal. Get it now.
