    Yes, 2006 FIFA World Cup is a full-price title, and yes the engine has been in place for a stint, but there’s a lot of extra love coming from EA Canada. 2006 FIFA World Cup is a synergistic title that is virtually complete from stem to stern. There’s good gameplay (aside from some framerate choppiness), excellent modes, palpable pageantry, above average graphics and audio, and even sweet navigation screens. The lack of online tournaments is the biggest detriment to... Read more

  3. EA kicks out another footy title just in time for this summer's worldwide scramble on the pitch. Is it a game-winning goal for gamers?

    2006 FIFA World Cup is a perfectly playable football title that happens to include a fair amount of content for a game based on a single tournament. Gameplay still lags behind the mighty Pro Evolution Soccer in a few areas, but the 'first touch' and 'off the ball' systems continue to impress. Presentation is great as expected, making this the perfect title to celebrate the World Cup with, even if it's not the perfect footy game. Read more

    It's a fun game it's a good game, but EA drops the ball again this game should have been so much better its like they didn't tested, here's and example: in the spanish commentary when you pass a ball to a player they say he's name but a lot of the times they say the wrong name, during half-time why can't you see the stats or make subs, i remember FIFA Road to the world cup 98 for the Sega Saturn when you had a stop ball you could pass the ball in 3 different ways: 1....
