Interviews are included with people from different nations expressing their passion for the game (typical quote: "A Brazilian who doesn't like football isn't a Brazilian") and what it means to be a supporter of their nation's team. To add to the sense of occasion, there's an additional bonus section that contains a number of filmed reports that provide some in-depth background to the event. Cameras swoop across a packed Japanese stadium filled with flash cards, flash bulbs, streamers, giant flags and giant balloon figures as the players take to the field and the crowd roars on their approval.
Well, the first impression you receive from the opening animation sequence is of colour, action and excitement - in other words, the essential elements that make the World Cup such a compulsive viewing experience.
But every time they trot out another FIFA footie game, they always have to face the persistent vital questions - what's new from before, how authentic is it and is it fun to play? You might be forgiven for believing that recent revelations about England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's private life would hold the key to the nation's success or failure in the greatest football tournament in the universe, whereas we all know that the real deciding factor is whether we can replicate England's 5-1 thrashing of the Germans in EA's latest PC soccer extravaganza.ĮA has for years dominated the sports end of the PC and console market and so sure are the folks there that this is going to be a mammoth hit, they've released it in no less than five formats (sorry Dreamcast fans - nothing for you, though).
