World Tour Soccer Critic Reviews

An addicting, impressive, and most importantly fun game. The graphics are very nice, the sounds are equally impressive, and the gameplay of the soccer and the amount of modes available make for a tremendous gaming experience.

It's so good you'll probably forget you're playing a soccer game. European players will be thrilled, but American gamers would be foolish to think they won't be just as excited.

It has it's shortcomings, like a lack of any real type of Wireless play outside of "ad-hoc" mode, and some light game modes. But it is made up for with some excellent gameplay.

The camera angle makes it a bit tough to judge the visual aspects of the game.

World Tour Soccer’s gameplay is well-defined, and the different modes spice things up considerably. The presentation is solid, as well.

The game's biggest asset? The A.I.

Thanks to the easy-to-use controls and smooth action, it has set a high benchmark for others to try to reach.

A good contender for the PSP football crown.

The PSPs widescreen presentation makes for some spectacular moments during gameplay and replays, and it’ll be pretty tough to go back to a less powerful handheld after seeing this game in motion.

A looser and slightly more free-wheeling soccer experience than the so-sim-oriented-it-hurts "FIFA Soccer" PSP game.

Boasts more than enough fast-paced gameplay and depth to justify its asking price.

Although there could be more features such as a career mode, World Tour Soccer is an adequate first step onto the handheld soccer field.

There’s plenty to unlock, the multiplayer is good and the soccer is rock-solid. Not to mention that the quick load-times make for the most faithful on the road console experience to date, though the lack of depth will not appease everyone.

On its own, WTS has the charm of old school arcade soccer games, a flair of simulation soccer and enough unlockables to keep you busy for a long time.

It's realistic but not overly, as having fun is emphasized over all, something you don't see much of anymore in sports games.

Two things I really dig about World Tour Soccer are that the matches feature generally realistic scoring (on a couple goals per match), and the game buffers your button presses a bit, which means jamming on the pass or shoot button will normally result in multiple, wild passes or shots fired off into the middle of nowhere. You have to remain calm and play the game correctly in order to be successful.

It is a decent soccer game, but with its unbalanced gameplay, the field may be a bit greener somewhere else.

A credible, even attractive option for any fan not demanding too mcuh in the realism stakes.

It's not really simulating football; it's emulating football spectacle, and with the addition of Challenge mode and a clever reward structure on top of an accessible and plainly enjoyable arcade experience it does that effectively enough to be a worthy purchase for footy lovers who want to, as the yanks would have it, punch a hole in the score bag.

If you’re looking for something to play in short bursts then World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition can prove to be entertaining, but if you prefer your game to have an inkling of skill it’s probably better to wait for the debut of Konami’s mighty Pro Evolution series.
