At the end of the day, FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup plays a passable game of soccer and is definitely fun when played against the right human opposition. There's not a lot of single-player content here, though, and the fact that the game is inferior to this year's PlayStation 2 and Xbox games in so many ways makes it nigh on impossible to recommend.
The gameplay is good old FIFA at heart and, while more difficult, is still enjoyable and simple. While EA provides a decent, yet very shallow, base for its first next-generation soccer title, it's evident the team over at EA Canada could have done a lot more. As such, we will be eagerly awaiting FIFA 07.
In a sense, it's not only awful, but it's also sabotaging everybody else's efforts at the same time. As a game, it's not much better. I like football, I like football games; I find it hard to recognise this in either category.
