Summary

FIFA Soccer 10 Wii is an over-the-top, non-stop soccer game that is designed exclusively for the platform. A polished gameplay experience that emphasizes action, approachability and responsiveness has been created that contains various key gameplay improvements and innovations. Shooting has been refined for improved shot power, accuracy and the ability to score from a greater range of distances and angles. Passing has been refined for faster and more accurate execution, while improved pass targeting and AI logic will create more open spaces and generate greater scoring opportunities. Goalkeepers will be more responsive when positioning themselves for a save, while still allowing for juicy rebounds adding to the non-stop soccer theme. The defending AI has also been reworked to allow for more urgency in the 18 yard box, meaning more block attempts and better player positioning to provide better team defensive coverage. When packaged together these gameplay improvements will keep the action fast and furious on the pitch. [Electronic Arts]

It's a game that walks the line between arcade and simulation with great ability and is tons of fun to boot. While long-time FIFA fans will likely gravitate towards the HD versions, the Wii version is an excellent addition to any soccer fan's game collection.

NGamer UK

It looks younger and is simpler to play than previous seasons but there's still plenty of challenge here. Goals galore! [Dec 2009, p.54]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

The arcadey approach is an interesting diversion for the series and one that just about pays off. [Nov 2009, p.80]

Games Master UK

The sleeping giant of the FIFA kingdom roars into life, but it's still an all-format minnow. [Nov 2009, p.66]

It may seem to lack a few features found in other formats' versions, but FIFA 10 on Wii still manages to claim the trophy for best Wii football game so far.

Gamervision

Once again, EA finds some solid footing to build another strong sports franchise on, and even though FIFA Soccer 10 is geared towards a more casual audience, more serious fans looking for a change of pace will have just as much fun. Though there’s a lack of depth in the game’s modes, FIFA 10 does just enough right to keep you coming back for more.

FIFA 10 on the Wii is all about arcade-style. It's a simplified and more accessible soccer system.

A step in the right direction that many soccer fans will be able to enjoy, even if it is a little more arcadey than the traditional soccer from EA Sports. The arcade elements that have made their way onto the Wii feel good in practice, even if some of them get a little stale after several games. The two biggest disappointments for me were the poor handling of through balls and the general lack of deep game modes.

Vandal Online

FIFA 10 for the Wii tries to broaden the public but takes less seriously the simulation, with a simplified and more accessible control system. But it falls short when offering extra content for the players to come back for more.

Meristation

FIFA 10, like the other games on the franchise, is a fair bet on the essence of football. There are few changes in this edition - more shooting score opportunities, a better placed goalkeeper and a few more low-profile changes. It's enough to justify the buy if you like arcade football, but you should stick with last year's edition if you have it already.

Cheat Code Central

If you are limited to just one console, or you plan on playing with youngsters, FIFA Soccer 10 for Wii is a quality game that does just enough to satisfy the majority of players' soccer lust.

It would have been nice to have more modes of play, but what is offered here is an improved over previous Wii iterations. Still, for a nice arcade-like take on the FIFA franchise, this Wii version does a nice job.

Multiplayer.it

Forget real soccer, Fifa 10 on the Wii is all about arcade-style, over-the-top gameplay: it's fun and it has some nice touches, but it ends up being a sort of Mario Strikers stripped of its most exciting elements.

N-Europe

FIFA 10 goes for style over substance and delivers in parts. Yet the shallow gameplay and lack of realism go a long way to pushing this towards the kiddie market. A real shame for long-time FIFA aficionados.

RealGamer

If you own either the Xbox 360 or Ps3 and are a keen football fan then the Wii version isn’t the right choice for you. However, if you’re more of a casual gamer, which most Wii owners tend to be then FIFA 10 on the Wii may just be what you’re looking for allowing for instantly accessible games that most will be able to simply play from the off.

FIFA 10 is definitely snappier than previous installments as a result, but it doesn't go far enough. [Dec 2009, p.84]

Everyeye.it

Nice look and few interesting ideas, but the hellhound penalties system ruins the whole experience.
