2006 FIFA World Cup Demo

The World Cup is one of the most prestigious soccer tournament in the world, where all of the best teams meet every four years to play against in each other and decide who goes home with the trophy. It is also where you can find the best players that have been selected to represent their country in the tournament.

2006 FIFA World Cup aims to bring the competition to your computer and let you take place in it yourself, by choosing the desired team and leading it to international glory. You can go through the entire tournament, complete with the group stage and the single elimination phase, where you have no other option that victory.

As the FIFA series has taught us over the years, the game manages to include every license required to display the names of the players, clubs and sponsors that are part of the competition. Moreover, every in-game player is closely modeled and detailed according to the person they represent, in order to offer you the complete experience of the World Cup.

Although the game is slightly different from the usual FIFA release, it does not bring any major modification when it comes to gameplay or anything related to mechanics. Thus, it feels and plays just like the regular installment, except for the game modes and the number of available teams that can be used in the tournament.

The same can be said about graphic quality as well, which is largely unchanged from the original game. It does, however, feature some new faces and a few improvements here and there, but most of them are not observable in any case. The modifications can be clearly heard in the sound department, though, where you can find a large collection of new songs and crowd noises to enrich the World Cup experience.

In the end, 2006 FIFA World Cup may not be an advancement over the regular FIFA, but it is more or less the same, except for the club teams it does not feature. It does contain a wide array of new animations and sounds to depict the tournament in a more realistic way, which is what makes the World Cup special in the first place.
