2006 FIFA World Cup announced

360 News | Who would have thought?
EA have officially announced today one of the worst kept gaming secrets this year. They are currently readying 2006 FIFA World Cup for release in April.

The game will include 100 of the world's favourite football players all accurately rendered. There will be a total of 127 national teams to choose from and it's also going to be possible to play matches in the twelve stadiums where the tournament is being held.

The game will include a Global Challenge mode which recreates classic moments from previous World Cups, as well as a multiplayer mode for up to eight players. Apparantly there will also be lots of unlockable content in the game as well.

EA have also included the first three screenshots, which we've included in the media panel for your perusal. The game is currently set for release on (deep breath) PC, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Nintendo DS, GBA, mobile phones and if we're lucky maybe even the Dreamcast. FIFA fans really are spoilt for choice this year, with FIFA Street 2 coming out this week, followed by 2006 FIFA World Cup in April and the inevitable FIFA 2007 at the end of the year.

Games like Fifa should just be released once... every world cup.

^ Come on man, that's just a silly comment.
There are usually quite significant changes from year to year including team rosters and stats etc.

Having said that, I've played FIFA on 360 and it's alright but nothing special. FIFA Street 2 has just been released here though, might need to check that out.

I disagree. They just need more effort put into them.

Pro Evolution Soccer has proved that annual installments can be brilliant. Look at how that franchise just keeps on improving with each version.
