Quite a[n] addictive and enjoyable game, however, the controls are something to get used to at first.
-
By far, the most intense soccer title the PS2 has produced so far.
-
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.
-
Game InformerIt just might be the FIFA killer. [Feb 2002, p.85]
-
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.
-
This game has a lot of catching up to do with regard to little things such as throw-ins, menu options, and length. It also has some big things to work on, namely graphics, sound, and hair, hair, hair!
-
The gameplay of WTS however, is superb. Never have I felt so close to real soccer action than with this game. It’s that good.
-
One mighty fine soccer game. Yep, mighty fine indeed.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineFast, fun footy with a simulation feel. [Feb 2002, p.114]
-
It's visual splendour; novel yet neat additions and generally tight gameplay will ensure the time until the next ISS goes that little bit quicker, OK I'll admit it I'm hooked.
-
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.
-
The vast array of game modes also makes World Tour Soccer last for an extremely long time, maybe even longer than FIFA, as it does contain additional modes and the like.
-
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.
-
This game is very deep and a must for any soccer fan.
-
What really makes the game are the wealth of offensive and defensive maneuvers to choose from.
-
TIF isn’t a complete loss, we just fear that its style of play will suit few – novices will be dominated and closed-down by the game, whereas seasoned vets will expect the freedom to pursue a more individualised approach.
-
If FIFA isn't quite realistic enough for your taste, WTS should scratch your soccer itch with its tight, sim-style gameplay and solid lineup of features, which includes custom teams, season play, the World Cup, and a variety of other cups.
-
PSM MagazineOccasional slowdown, some seemingly unfair penalties, and sub-par PS2 graphics. [Mar 2002, p.26]
-
The game offers great control and enough fun to make it a worthy competitor.
-
Those who desire the more strict interpretation of European Soccer will find this style more to their liking. Those looking for fast fun gameplay will want to rent first to see if this taste appeals to their tastebuds.
-
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.
