"2006 FIFA World Cup"

Graphics 6/10

The graphics are not bad it's just that the character close ups look all screwed up because of the graphics. When playing the game the grass looks strange because there are rows of light and dark grass going diagonally across the field. The graphics are kind of chunky looking and looks boxy like if you were playing Super Nintendo if you look at the screen close up.

Sound 7/10

The sound is ok and is delivered well but it's kind of hard to understand what the people are saying, almost sounds as if they are speaking a different language or something. I recommend that for playing this game you use a normal Nintendo DS instead of a Nintendo DS LITE because the normal one can offer more noise for the player. It's also sort of hard to move your character diagonally using the Nintendo DS LITE.

Game play 7/10

The game play is very good but there is absolute no difference in the game play from this game to last years at all. You unlock a lot of stuff as you progress through the game making the player fell good because they unlocked something.

Controls 8/10

The controls are easy to use making the player enjoy the game. The touch screen and used a lot and makes the game more interesting than if you were playing it on a different system. The touch screen is used a lot but I fell that the game can be played with out it though and still get the same game play if it didn't have a touch screen it's just that it's more fun to use it.

Realistic 10/10

The characters look very realistic and surprisingly accurate. You play on real fields and use actual player that actually exist. This is one of the games strengths. A person who is into soccer and know the players and stuff will really enjoy playing this game.

Two Player 7/10

The two player on this game is really confusing and isn't really that fun. There only can be two players and no more than that … but this is a soccer game. You can't really play two player because most likely no one you know will have this game.

Overall 7/10

The game is ok but can be better. They should make next years better.
