Overall Rating: 94% (A MUST buy for soccer fans)
 
Cons:
  There are truly few cons to this great game.  The penalty kicks are pretty
hard to block, and while that is true also in real life, it leaves the
outcome of a game too much in the hands of chance.  While there are many
angles at which the game can be played, only three were ones which would
allow me to play with skill.  In some of the angles, the players get so
small that it is hard to see what they are doing, much less control them
with precision.
 
Pros:
  This game is unbelievable.  It has thousands of players, all true to
their national teams, as well as club teams.  The team formations are not
just for look, the players WILL be there if they are supposed to, hence
you can pass where you'd expect players to be, making the passing game
awesome.  The rainbow kick and other special moves will dazzle even the
most experienced sports games fans.  You can play either whole seasons,
or simply the world cup.  All the teams that are halfway decent in the
world are there.  The rules and conditions of the game are EXACTLY as
they are in real life (don't expect your substitute to come in until a
stoppage of play has occured).  If you didn't know better, you'd think
that you were watching a real game on TV.
 
Final Verdict:  A MUST for any sport game gans, especially soccer fans!
