Since 1998 EA Sports has had the exclusive rights to the FIFA World Cup video games. However, due to the dominance of the PES series during those years these games were often overlooked by the soccer purists and sales were usually dependent on a younger audience and those who wanted a game to enhance their World Cup fever. Times have changed though and EA Sports now stands tall as the publisher of the king of soccer games, due to the success of FIFA 09 and even more so FIFA 10. Naturally the expectations for this year’s exclusive World Cup game were exceedingly high, particularly since the last time EA produced a specific tournament titled game, EURO 2008, it was received pretty well. In steps Simon Humber (and his team) to take up the challenge of delivering a soccer title that will fill us with excitement levels to match those we feel once the tournament kicks off.

FIFA 10’s release date for us in Europe was the beginning of the month but for those around the world, including the Americas, yesterday saw FIFA arriving everywhere. Now we come to a really interesting point in FIFA’s release on next-gen consoles.
All of the European reviews have been glowing so far, with most scores being 9/10 – and rightly so with the gameplay being, in my opinion, the best that we’ve ever seen. BUT, not many picked up on the bugs, glitches and annoyances you can find in certain game modes (most heavily in Manager Mode, which sadly is the only mode I ever play).
So I’m interested to see what the review scores from around the world will be. Will they all be 9/10, or will they have read the various FIFA forums and be aware of these issues? One of the latest reviews you can see here, courtesy of 1up.com – thanks to Alexrstone from our own forums for the link – suggests the new wave of reviews might be more critical!
You can keep an eye on FIFA 10’s average review scores below.
