2006 FIFA World Cup (Xbox 360, 2006)

Soccer games have always been fun. The first soccer game for the XBOX 360, FIFA 2006: Road to the World Cup, ended the streak of great soccer games because it lacked many features and it felt like it needed another couple of months to be created. EA expanded on that game, this time focusing on the actual World Cup itself, and made a very entertaining and interesting game. When I first bought this game, the first thing I noticed was the store. You can buy new uniforms, soccer balls, legendary players, or cheats. To earn these points, you have to complete different types of objectives and challenges. The challenges are scenario's; and some are easy while others are difficult. They should keep you busy for a while, and at the end when you complete all of them you earn an achievement of 500 points. Besides challenges, this game is one of the best if you have a big group of friends over to play against. If you don't, this game has enabled online play so you can challenge others in ranked or unranked matches. Probably the best mode of all is the World Cup Mode, where you have to choose a team, select 23 players from that squad onto your roster, and then guide them all the way to the World Cup. As you get closer and closer to the World Cup, the matches become more difficult. The presentation on these matches are awesome, and make you fell as though you are in the atmosphere of an actual match. EA worked hard on this game, unlike their half-ass effort on NBA Live 06 and the previous soccer game. If you are a soccer fanatic or just enjoy playing the video games, you should buy 2006 FIFA World Cup.
