    Quite a[n] addictive and enjoyable game, however, the controls are something to get used to at first.
  2. Operation Sports

    The nice thing is, unlike FIFA, you don't see the spectacular move all that often, so when you do you really appreciate it even more.
  3. GameSpot
    82
    Places an emphasis on action on the pitch and supplies a few of the gameplay modes that are missing from EA's popular FIFA series.
  4. Hot Games
    80
    FIFA handled a little better, but World Tour has a little more depth. FIFA looks a little better, but World Tour has more heart in the animation.
  5. Gamezilla!

    This game is for the serious and possibly hard core soccer fan. Everyone else should just take a seat in the stands and enjoy the action from afar and let the pros go to work.
  6. XenGamers
    75
    What really makes the game are the wealth of offensive and defensive maneuvers to choose from.
  7. Sports Gaming Network
    65
    A new, non-Fifa (i.e. non-totally crap) soccer experience for North American soccer fans and, as I said before, it's not a horrible game - on the lower difficulty levels it's reasonably fun and it also has a ton of teams and competitions.

The great thing is you never get so good that you can easily beat the computer. Master difficulty is always a challenge, and i still only win about 60% of the time on it. The graphics are great, and the huge amount of teams and players from througout the century is incredible. I definitely recommend this game.… Expand
