World Tour Soccer 2005

Discount World Tour Soccer 2005

Since there was no hype whatsoever for this game, I wasn't expecting much first time I tried it. What a surprise !
IMO, even though WTS5 is NOT a madden (on soccer) it is much superior than the other two (FIFA04 and WE7). I've tried WE7, fifa04 and WTS5. Now I only play WTS5, here are the reasons:
- Its more simulation than action (video game).
- Has most teams, most players and most leagues. PLUS you can edit and transfers players and customize teams.
- You can use and abuse of sliding tackles, hello ! Sliding tackles is part of soccer (WE7 doesn't like them)
- Defending is easier than attacking, as it should be.
- Game speed is about right, a little faster than Fifa04 and slower than WE7.
- Even though graphics are not as flashy, animations (player moves) are perfect.
- Game situations are more like the real thing (again more like a simulation than a game)


One thing I don't like is the long loading time going from menu to match. Another thing that could be improved is the AI, players don't pass the ball very often thus there is too much running (with the ball) going on. IMO they don't break the game but they certainly should be improved in the next version.

Overall I have much more fun playing this game than fifa04 or we7.

Hope it helps.
