"Internationally Great REALLY?"

Gameplay - 9/10

Great Gameplay. You can perform a whole lot of
moves you see on TV. Bicycle Kicks, Headers, Crosses, This really shows what Soccer is about. And one Bad thing is the accuracy of the players names. This is really confusing. You'll figure out who's who in a while. The Gameplay overall is simple enough. You shoot with A and you steal with B.

Story - 9/10
Well There isn't any major story to this game. You basically choose between a country and take them through qualifiers and then the big kahuna THE WORLD CUP! This will be tough if your a first time player. This will be so hard hat you will probobly smash the game a couple of times. I suggest you begin with Brazil or Argentina and in Easy for a little Confidence.

Audio/Video - 8/10
This is what is most interesting about this game. The Graphics are Good not Excellent but Good. The Sounds Awesome you have an announcer calling the shots very accurately. You will be very annoyed though because if your losing hes so enthusiastic hell lower your momentum. He screams no matter what the score.

Replayability - 10/10
Its worth replaying again. Because with certain teams you unlock all stars and this game is hard to lose interest in. If you do get tired of this game you have to either hate soccer or you just real are weird

Modes- 9/10
Great Modes. They have Exhibition/Friendly, Penalty Shoot Out, and of course World Cup.

To buy or to rent? - Pay the 40$ I suggest this if your a fan. This is a great game and if you rent it you will end up buying guaranteed. You'll love it.

Language- 10/10

Multi Language game what more can you ask from this.

Overall- 9/10
Tough to improve on a game this good. I suggest more unique arenas and fan chants if you really want to have a best seller.
