Summary: A beautiful and fun sports game...
Comment: I have to say that this game was fun to play right from the beginning. I had a blast playing the demo that I had to go out and buy the game. The graphics are solid and make you feel as though you are watching a real game. The way the players run, move, dribble and shoot also feels real, which makes for an altogether well rounded game. I at first thought I wouldn't enjoy Captain Your Country since you only play as one player, but I soon found that this made the experience all the more real as you qualify for the World Cup. This, also, was one of the annoying aspects of the game that I didn't like.

For one, the force you to play too many qualifying games in order to get in. For Brazil I had to play 18 qualifying matches, and then of course the 7 to win, which just made it all too long. Additionally, they force you to play Friendly games that have no bearing at all, except if you forfeit the match than your player's rating goes down (the only benefit is that the friendly matches can be used to get your players score back up to First Team level; I forfeited 3 friendly matches cause I wanted to play the actual qualifying matches, and I was forced to sit out the qualifying rounds until a friendly match came along and I could play and get my score up). Additionally, another useless feature is the power option for shooting, which invariably is always way too powerful if you do anything more than a tap of the shoot button.

If trophies are your thing than you'll find that they are usually glitched. I played a Captain campaign and was denied several trophies even though I achieved them. Some said it was because I used a Virtual Pro, so I played a South American Captain campaign and created a player. After playing 18 matches and 7 World Cup matches I achieved South America Qualifier, Most Hat Tricks and the Masterful Performance achievements and was denied all of them. Trophies are great for facilitating your experience through the game, but they don't make a game. This unfortunately still annoys you when you play for so long and then they don't appear, causing you to have to redo the whole campaign if you want to achieve those trophies.

Minor things, but overall the game is a blast and I am a huge fan. I would definitely recommend this game to any interested in a sports videogame.

5 stars.

Summary: totally awesome!!!!!!
Comment: This game features some cool game modes such as Zakumi's dream team where you make your own team and collect better players by beating challenges and try and make the bet dream team possible .
If you want to do the actual world cup you can . First you select your team,then you start your world cup I highly suggest this game.

Summary: Not crazy about it
Comment: I got this for a World Cup tournament at work, and it's an ok game, but if you don't have the nunchuck for each Wii-Mote, you have to let the computer control the direction of your players, and they usually tend to run right up the middle.

Kinda a poor execution of control in my opinion since there IS a directional pad, but it only gets used for post-goal celebrations.

Bottom line: This game is good for four-players only if you have four Wii-Motes AND four nunchucks, otherwise you leave 85% of the "playing" up to the computer.

Summary: Fifa World Cup 2010 Wii
Comment: This is a pretty good game. The controls are very frustrating at first, but once you get the hang of them, the game is very fun. Online play is a nice feature.
Overall, this is a pretty good game and I would reccommend to casual gamers.
