  1. An addicting, impressive, and most importantly fun game. The graphics are very nice, the sounds are equally impressive, and the gameplay of the soccer and the amount of modes available make for a tremendous gaming experience.
  2. It's so good you'll probably forget you're playing a soccer game. European players will be thrilled, but American gamers would be foolish to think they won't be just as excited.
  3. It has it's shortcomings, like a lack of any real type of Wireless play outside of "ad-hoc" mode, and some light game modes. But it is made up for with some excellent gameplay.
  4. The camera angle makes it a bit tough to judge the visual aspects of the game.
  5. World Tour Soccer’s gameplay is well-defined, and the different modes spice things up considerably. The presentation is solid, as well.

    The game's biggest asset? The A.I. [May 2005, p.71]
  7. Thanks to the easy-to-use controls and smooth action, it has set a high benchmark for others to try to reach. [PSM2]

    A good contender for the PSP football crown.
  9. The PSPs widescreen presentation makes for some spectacular moments during gameplay and replays, and it’ll be pretty tough to go back to a less powerful handheld after seeing this game in motion.
  10. A looser and slightly more free-wheeling soccer experience than the so-sim-oriented-it-hurts "FIFA Soccer" PSP game.
  11. Boasts more than enough fast-paced gameplay and depth to justify its asking price.
  12. Although there could be more features such as a career mode, World Tour Soccer is an adequate first step onto the handheld soccer field.

    There’s plenty to unlock, the multiplayer is good and the soccer is rock-solid. Not to mention that the quick load-times make for the most faithful on the road console experience to date, though the lack of depth will not appease everyone.

    Much better than the PS2 version.
