Might get fifa for the my 360.

But think there are 2 versions, is that correct ?

2006 FIFA World Cup Germany
fifa road to world cup

Or are they both the same game. Also is it any good ? worth getting ?

/waits for da mic...

I think he will say RTWC has the best gameplay by far, or you could wait about 1 month for FIFA 07, 26/10/2006 i think.

Germany was slightly better than RTWC.

There alright on live and playing against mates, but the AI can become very frustrating.

I have Germany for sale BTW

Fifa World Cup 2006 was a pretty decent game.... but i sold it and got Pro Evo 5 instead to get me in the mood for the 6th

lol and your correct

fifa RTWC = good fluid gameplay (leave it alone pes fanboys)
it has great graphics, and is a generally good game, it still has an active online scene, and because its not the newest game, most of the noobs have gone

fifa World cup = fifa's attempt at pes gone wrong, way to defensive gameplay, its awful to tackle people and the goals just fly in, coupled with the gfx are bleeding awful

I also forgot to mention that PES6 is coming out soon aswell

Snow-Munki · 15 Aug 2006 at 11:45

oh might wait now in that case.

Thanks guys !!

You can defo tell that world cup 2006 was rushed.... it looks pretty rubbish and the frame rate when you take corners is diabolical (in the words of Alan Hansen)

And the first 360 videos of PES 6 get shown in 9 days at Leipzig Game convention also going to be playable i think.

Also rumours of demo aswell same time because no info has been released on the game really i hope they have improved graphics for 360 version but will soon find out.

RTWC > World Cup in my eyes.

I do prefer Fifa over PES though - looking forward to the proper Fifa game with seasons and stuff

sanofi · 15 Aug 2006 at 16:23

I can't get into FIFA games anymore, for the simple fact that in terms of gameplay, PES blows them off the field.

I tried 05 and thought it was an improvement but FIFA still pails in comparison. Who knows 07 may be better but compared to all others PES 5 is king IMO.

From the demo of WC I didn't think too much of it and I've read that RTWC is worse.

basically the same game, RTWC has much harder achievements with those scenarios. But both basically the same gameplay/graphics wise.

no way! germany has all the scenarios to complete with 500 pts for completing all od them (seriosuly hard imo). FIFA '06 (one with ronaldinhio on the cover) has far too easy achievements (just save before say the world masters tourny, win 3 matches and get 200 gamerpoints

)

Snow-Munki · 15 Aug 2006 at 20:32

d'oh just noticed both are available to download as demos on marketplace !

getting them both now and see what i think.

Playing WC is the closest i've been to throwing my controller against the wall. For some reason you can't shoulder barge players off the ball, yet the computer seems to be able to shrug you off with ease, and the AI can be infuriating at times, they just run off half the time. Unless i'm missing something, high possibility.

It's an ok game, mainly down to the fact it has little to no competition and a footie game is essential to own on a console imo. When PES comes along i'm sure it won't get a look in on my 360.
